Iraq Vet Disrupts George W. Bush Speech, Sept. 19 2021

When are you going to apologize for the million Iraqis that are dead because you lied? You lied about weapons amounts to strip out connections to 9-11. You lied about Iraq being a threat. You sent me to Iraq. You sent me to Iraq in 2003. My friends are dead. You killed people. You lied. You lied about WMD. A million Iraqis are dead because you lied. My friends are dead because you lied. You need to apologize. Apologize. What just happened? I'm wondering if they're going to arrest me. What just happened? I just disrupted George Bush speaking. They dragged me out. I guess the cops are not after me. I guess they're not after you. What I did was I tried to read the names of friends of mine who died after going to Iraq and then died of injuries they came home with. The names of Iraqis who were killed by the U.S. occupation in the Nisour Square Massacre. I tried to read the names but the event runners immediately grabbed the list and tore it up. But I was able to shut it down for a little while. Right when Bush was getting into his first little cheesy story about his life and all that. Trying to be funny. So hopefully I shook him and set a tone for the event. The crowd was very mad. Typical crowd you would expect for George W. Bush. But they seemed to not be expecting it at all. And here we are. So I tried not to give them a little moment of peace. Because no one else gets it who is touched by the war.
