Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice...the whole rotting carcasses are war criminals and traitors to the U.S. constitution and people! They need to be held accountable for the lies, criminal behavior, torture, unnecessary deaths that have resulted, and the devastation to our socio-economic system unprecedented in modern times!

Come on, people, we cannot allow their crimes to be swept under the rug. Too many lives have been lost and otherwise sacrificed for these smug, smarmy creeps.-

Good luck having our politicians do anything about it. What we can do is vote people in that will take the administration and put them on trial. However, since all politicians seem to be tied to each other some how, we are screwed. For example, Obama supported the Bush bailout of Bush's friends in the financial industry because Obama himself has a few friends there as do the people in congress. So nothing will gt done. No one will be punished and these guys will keep making millions.

Why aren't we out of Iraq yet or even at least having a discussion about it in congress? Because the Democrats and Republicans in congress both have found ways to make money off the war and thus have no real time table or reason to get out. Its that simple.
If we keep voting in the same connected politicians then we will be in this mess for a long time. -

Obama is well on his way to running the same imperial and zionist foreign policy as Bush. He may well need to be tried for war crimes in the end as well.

US: Herding Humans For Profit
Basically, the Pentagon and the CIA are working in tandem to force targeted nations like India and Pakistan to accept the decision which has been made to "outsource" the terror war to them and other patsy nations like them. Agency contract hits like the Mumbai attack and bombings in FATA are blamed on "al Qaida" by the government-controlled media in the West and in the media controlled by the "patsy" foreign governments. Biased, hate-based reporting serves to drive patriotic fervor to a frenzied state. The duplicitous leaders in those countries then carry-out America's will, to set them upon a path to war, in effect, driving their own people into a "kill trap" where unwanted war is forced upon them. This pattern prevails all over the earth, wherever the US has imperial designs. We are all being herded into a global war trap, some call it world war III.
American mini-dictator generals and crime bosses knew that their global war plans would require massive numbers of committed killers, a goal that a volunteer force could not fulfill. A conscripted army of unwilling, underpaid, over-committed soldiers, who might follow orders to commit genocide, would be unsatisfactory for the task, especially when the focus of the killing turns to their own homelands. No, the committed killers who have volunteered to be underpaid and overworked in order to gain the right to kill were too few in number, so they had to be supplemented. This is the reason that the US has created massive armies and navies of high-paying "civilian" contract killers (mercenaries).
But even the combination of federal troops and private armies is not great enough to fulfill the mission of global conquest. This is where the plan incorporates co-opted foreign armies, like those of India and Pakistan. Where NATO has failed to serve as a second American force, to command at will, these co-opted foreign armies under indirect US control are meant to fill the gap.
The CIA is using all the tricks of its dark and bloody trade to harness these foreign forces....

on "7 February 2002, President George W Bush made a written determination that Common Article 3 of the Geneva conventions, which would have afforded minimum standards for humane treatment, did not apply to al-Qaida or Taliban detainees". The result, it says, is that Bush "opened the door" to the use of a raft of techniques that the US had once branded barbaric and beyond the realm of human decency.

libs, this country also helped run the trial that hanged 11 Natzis for preemptive war too! Over 1.2 million Iraqis dead since Dumya invaded, and over 5 million displaced of his 25 Million that he supposedly liberated!

Here go the rabid liberals ranting again. There is one word that stops everything that you foolish people want to do.

EVIDENCE!!!!
Without that you are just blowing in the wind.
1. What laws were broken.
2. Exactly what actions did they do that broke those laws.
3. What EVIDENCE is there that they did these things.
Your rants do not mean a thing except showing how hateful the left has become.-

Endo there's been plenty of evidence but you and others like yourself choose to ignore it.

Calling the left names again, where's YOUR Christian love? You know practicing what you preach? Removing the plank from your eye before calling us on ours? Been casting a lot of judgement against liberals and democrats lately.
In case you try to deny you have called us names, from your first sentence in comment I'm replying too: "rabid liberals ranting again.: Second sentence "foolish people." -

Given the seriousness of our economic woes, I fear the author is right in his summation regarding Obama's likelihood of pursuing War Crimes charges.

His insinuation that others do our dirty work is better than nothing.
I wouldn't shed any tears if Cheney's sorry ass gets thrown in jail over seas.
A couple months in a Turkish prison might get him talking! -
