Bush, Blair, Aznar trial sought

Beirut, , Apr. 23 (UPI) -- Arab intellectuals and politicians want to try U.S. President George Bush, Britain's Tony Blair and Spain's ex-Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar for war crimes.

The call was made at the end of a five-day Arab National Congress, which closed in Beirut Friday. More than 200 politicians and intellectuals representing the various Arab countries participated.

1. Once Bush loses the election

I hope the Kerry administration arrests him and sends him over there.

[drthais]

2. actually....

I think GW should finish up his Guard duty over there

[underpants]

4. Hahaha oh that is good

:thumbsup:

[shockingelk]

14. Bush will issue a pardon for himself

and everybody he knows that may or may not have at sometime done something wring.

[underpants]

3. Well THEY seem to be united

Political and financial backing to the opposition to the occupation huh?

[calimary]

13. Score another one for Mr. "I'm a uniter not a divider," 'eh?

[bif]

5. I'd stay home from work to watch that on tv

Hell, I'll sign up for cable if that's the only way to view it!

[tibbiit]

6. I hate to say this

much as I would like to see the perp walk... Kerry will prolly pre-pardon them all like Ford did Nixon. It will be for the "good of the country" you understand... nothing to see, drive on thru.

8. sad but likely

but that's ok, I have no objections to marching in the street to protest Kerry's actions, either

[pippin]

9. I agree

Kerry is such a boot-licking crypto Repub that I am willing to bet he'll pardon Bush.

12. news flasth for all of you

ALL Presidents pardon their predecesors... it is standard operating procedure

Now here is somethign not well known, Clinton REFUSED it on principle

[reprobate]

16. A president can issue all the pardons he wants.......

....but the pardons will only exonerate them under US law. The world court owes no allegience to US laws, so an american pardon will hold no legal sway anywhere in the world but here.

Therefore, any jurisdiction in the world (or any country that's been harmed by these bushevicks) can issue charges. If this happens, I would bet most countries in the world would not fight extradition, they'd just hand them over with a smile and a raised finger to the bushies.

And I can't think of a bunch more deserving of life behind bars. Gee, doesn't the thought of Captain codpiece playing wife to some big sweaty arab criminal give you a warm feeling in the heart?

18. Of course, a presidential pardon only counts in the U.S.

It wouldn't affect international charges. And I'm sure that Dubya might want to travel outside of the U.S. sometime in the future.

7. They are certainly sending a very clear message,...

,...that they disapprove of wars in violation of international law. Also makes pretty damned obvious that they have no intention of cooperating with the PNACers.

[keithyboy]

10. Hey, I want them tried for war crimes also!

And we are not alone.

[bluedog]

11. bet this

hasn't made the news media yet...........

[Chicago Democrat]

15. I totally agree....

This needs to be done.

[American Renaissance]

17. Bush is safe...

But I can't see how Blair can avoid going into exile if he is forced out of power.

[not systems]

19. Great. International laws against wars of aggression must...

be upheld.
