1. A thief and a liar. I've known that since 12/2000.
But it's only recently dawned on me that bu$h IS a living, breathing, textbook definition of a WAR CRIMINAL. He launched the invasion of a relatively unarmed country for his personal gain, just the way Hitler went into Poland in 1939.

Almost 850 soldiers have died because this Strutting Little Fool sent them to Iraq under false pretenses. Torture is unofficial policy under this misbegotten Commander-In-Chief. (How the FUCK does a deserter get to play with armies?)

Any way you want to slice it, bu$h is a War Criminal. He belongs in the dock at The Hague or Nuremburg. He deserves to be paraded around in chains and an orange jumpsuit the way Susan McDougal was. He needs to spend the rest of his (hopefully LONG) life in the Tower of London meditating on Oedipus. Motherfucker.

:freak:

3. Why do we have to wait for the Iraqi's
I mean isn't it obvious that this administration approves of this kind of treatment, and as the Chief executive officer (President) of this country HE ultimatley is the responsible party....(along with the whole of his cabinet)?

We have as a country have helped to prosecute the German war criminals, yet now we hold our leaders above the law?? Utterly Disgraceful....

As far as his personal gain, it is the corporate elite of this country who also support him and who appear to be in control of our government....why else would our elected officials be so "afeared" of taking any actions against this man.

We are in a state of "undeclared emergency" from our own government, and most of the people in the US are going about there lives like it'd no bfd, like it will all work out in the end. Yeah right, no wonder many other of the world's countries fear us & hate us.....we are the biggest & most powerful terrorists to threaten this world's peace that the world has seen since Hitler.

Perhaps, they are really afraid that this could be the big Armegeddon, that any action could result inevitably in worldwide destruction?? Yeah, and I don't even go to church & know this master plan of old....

I am A freak? An extremist? Way out there, too crazy to believe....right??? I certainly hope so, or else we all better say "goodnite Irene".

2. It could happen
If President Kerry signs on to the World Court, it would seem to me that Bush would then come under its jurisdiction....and if the eventual Iraqi government decides that this is what's needed.....

4. The Irish recognize a foreign thug when they see one.

"US PRESIDENT George Bush is a war criminal who should never have been invited to Ireland, a leading American theologian said yesterday, writes David Quinn. Professor Stanley Hauerwas, a renowned campaigner for pacifism, also said that Ireland should consider, 'at least in principle', invoking its membership of the International Criminal Court to have President Bush, who is due to arrive in Ireland for a two-day visit next Friday, arrested for war crimes."

6. Iraq Full Sovereignty
"if the eventual Iraqi government decides..."

Any Iraqi Govt. will be a US Puppet Govt. unless the Iraqi people have a mass uprising to rid their country of the Occupation. The plans for the largest Embassy on earth is going forward in Iraq and 14 Military bases are being built that will maintain 100K US Troops for at least the next ten years.

Full Sovereignty?
Throughout the spring, as hundreds died in the spiraling conflict, as Regime bosses applied their hardcore "anti-terrorist" tortures to innocent bystanders raked up in their occupation nets, as Regime mouthpieces prated endlessly of "liberation" and "sovereignty," Bush viceroy Paul Bremer was quietly signing a series of edicts that will give the United States effective control over the military, ministries -- and money -- of any Iraqi government, for years to come, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Bremer has placed U.S.-appointed "commissions" made up of Americans and local puppets throughout Iraqi government agencies; the ministers supposedly in charge weren't even told of the edicts. These boards "will serve multiyear terms and have significant authority to run criminal investigations, award contracts, direct troops and subpoena citizens," the Journal reports. Any new Iraqi government "will have little control over its armed forces, lack the ability to make or change laws and be unable to make major decisions within specific ministries without tacit U.S. approval, say U.S. officials."


Earlier Bremer edicts laid the Iraqi economy wide open to ruthless exploitation by Bush-approved foreign "investors"; dominance of such key sectors as banking, communications -- and energy -- is already well advanced. The latest dictates aim to ensure that this organized looting goes on, no matter what kind of makeshift "interim government" the United Nations manage to piece together. Bush's plans to build a Saddamite fortress embassy in Baghdad and 14 permanent military bases around the country are designed to provide the knee-breaking "security" for these lucrative arrangements
