Peter Garrett apologized to President Obama for ............ the lyrics to US Forces.

[lesdoyle2000]

1982 Peter Garret denunces American military interference and imperialist repression.

2010 Peter Garret supports American military interference and imperialist repression.

I like 1982 Peter Garret better.

I liked how George HW Bush sold the Iraq war by paying Hill & Knowlton $14 million to create the  Nurse Nayirah propaganda. Short memory.

[SweetSweetWaldo]

@lesdoyle2000 Obama's an imperialist murdering thug just like Bush. It's in the president's job requirements. I'm sure Mr. Garrett understood the terms of his job when he signed the contract. You take the devil's dollar, you do the devil's job. BTW, I remember listening to this song the night George HW Bush invaded Iraq in 1991!

@nzoz1983 Are u sure?? Are u talking about the song US forces?? Find that hard to believe. Lets not talk the man down, he is really caught between rock and hard place. I heard Peter and his total refusal speech on radio after the ALP agreed the trade to India of Yellow Cake . He aint sold out. Visit his HP. Must say, it aint funny the ALP is all about less carbon emissions now. But they dont care about nuclear waste, that will take hundreds of years to break down.???
