The eerie parallel between Poppy's pardons and Jr's Freedom medals.

[kentuck]

Poppy used the last days of his term to pardon Caspar Weinberger and others that were in with his scheme to sell arms to Iran and the Ayatollah and use the money to fund the Contras in Nicaragua. Just pardon them and it was like pardoning himself. When they all should have been in jail, Ollie North, Elliot Abrams, Weinberger, Negroponte, and the bunch.

Then Jr hangs the Freedom medals around those that have assisted his crime in Iraq, a neighbor of Iran, at least geographically. There stood the three silent partners as Bush "pardoned" them with medals that attempted to pardon himself from his criminal and illegal invasion of another sovereign nation. How could we not see the parallel?
