If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

They don’t want you to ask what the #RSB means for #women.
But we’re asking because the impact on wāhine Māori & #Pacific women will be brutal.
You’ve heard what it does to Te Tiriti. Now let’s talk about #wahine.
