(24,979 posts)Did he lie to his people about bogus WMD to launch an unprovoked war of aggression and destroy a distant nation that constituted no threat?
Did he establish a new international network of torture centers?
Did he violate laws and his country's constitution to establish a total surveillance state?
Did he violate his country's laws on government records and disclosure?
Did he preside over a vast financial fraud on millions of people perpetrated by all of his country's major banks?
I guess he should have!
The bigger the crime, the greater the reward, right?
