War criminals

Post Reply New Topic

Movements are springing up around the world to arrest George W Bush and his deputies, and President Obama for war crimes:

However great their status is in the United States, thoughout the world these people are all regarded as war criminals. Obama jokes in the first link above about his use of drones- this is scary stuff.

Just because you see something on YouTube does not make it true, important, or inevitable.

If you are arguing that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were terrible ideas, I will agree with you. But I don't see any current or former US presidents being arrested by anybody. That's just not going to happen.

So, the Empire might not fall in their lifetimes... it is still amusing to see Israeli leaders scramble about to avoid landing in jurisdictions that they fear will arrest them...

bush condoned torture and invaded Iraq for no reason, war crimes indeed.

They're even calling Obama a war criminal or whatever.

Good luck with their wish to arrest and try any of them, and I mean that sarcastically.

Referring to Bush as a war criminal doesn't sound very far-fetched, especially since Bush/Cheney are mild-sociopaths in my opinion.

No one is going to arrest an American president!

... at least ... they can never make it stick ...

And what court would dare lay such a charge on an ex officio president of the U.S.? Answer: none. And even if one did, they could not execute their judgement. The U.S. has too much armed force.

So the answer is nothing will come of it. Not a damned thing.

Die Macht ist das Recht.

A few kooks running around screaming about war crimes doesn't mean a thing.

Ignore them. There are better things to worry about.

More like laugh at them. They are fools wasting their time and resources on something that is unattainable.

Meine Heimat; Richtig oder Falsch!

If you actually watch the first video above, George Bush and his deputies HAVE BEEN CONVICTED OF WAR CRIMES in absentia.

If they travel anywhere outside of the US they will be arrested.

Done deal!

Who cares if nothing will come of it! The truth should still be spread for people to see.

In the extremely unlikely possibility that they ever got close enough, the Secret Service would make very short work of them.

The key question is: "Whose truth?" The "truth" of a few disgruntled foreigners with too much time on their hands and a YouTube account, or ... ?
