Kerry Doesn’t Thank Bush at PEPFAR Celebration
Wash. Free Beacon ^ | 6/18/13 | staff

Posted on 06/18/2013 12:35:10 PM PDT by Nachum

On Tuesday, Secretary of State John Kerry spoke at PEPFAR’s 10th anniversary celebration. During his opening remarks, Kerry thanked both Democrats and Republicans for their involvement in the program and for their bipartisanship. However, Kerry forgot to thank a key proponent of PEPFAR, President George W. Bush. PEPFAR, which stands for the ‘President’s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief ‘ was established by Bush and committed over $15 billion dollars to fight the global HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Additionally, PEPFAR’s website cites President Bush for originally introducing the legislation in 2003, which has been described as “the largest commitment in history by any nation to combat a single disease.”

Did Kerry remember to tell everyone that he served in Vietnam?

If Anonymous were more than an illusion, they’d pilfer and release John François’ original DD214. You know, the one where he’s dishonorably discharged for his treasonous fraternization with the VC in Paris. While they’re at it, maybe they could find his request for replacement medals for the ones he lost while windsurfing off Nantucket, when his board became entangled with a lobster pot float.
