The unveiling of a bronze bust commemorating President George W. Bush's service in the Texas Air Force National Guard was postponed initially from December of 2002 due to the "pending war" with Iraq at the time, according to an assistant to the renowned sculptor commissioned for the project.

................

"Charles Parks completed the bronze bust of George W. Bush for the National Guard Museum in the fall of 2002," Joanne Cimini told RAW STORY. "The original unveiling was supposed to be in December of 2002."

"However, as it was stated to me, because of the then-'pending war' it was postponed until further notice," Cimini said.

Evidence of "pending war" long denied

The Bush Administration has always insisted that there was no "pending war" in 2002. Congress passed a joint resolution to authorize the use of force against Iraq in October of 2002. However, the President has always maintained that no definitive decision had been made at that time.

1. Commemorating his Nation Guard service. Has he no shame?

2. How ironic, the man chickens out on the Vietnam War

and gets a bronze bust commemorating his total cowardliness. Them Texans seem to believe just about anything the bushes tell them.

3. For bravery in defending the coast of Texas from the Vietnamese?

8. Incredible

These same assholes wouldn't give crap to help a real homeless war vet but they can come up with $150,000 for a bust of the great deserter.
