World Tribunal on Iraq Preliminary Declaration
WTI: PRELIMINARY DECLARATION OF THE JURY OF CONSCIENCE WORLD

<snip>
II. Findings and Charges

On the basis of the preceding findings and recalling the Charter of the United Nations and other legal documents quoted in the appendix, the jury has established the following charges.

A. Against the Governments of the US and the UK

1. Planning, preparing, and waging the supreme crime of a war of aggression in contravention of the United Nations Charter and the Nuremberg Principles. Evidence for this can be found in the leaked Downing Street Memo of 23rd July, 2002 in which it was revealed that: “military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were fixed around the policy.” Intelligence was manufactured to willfully deceive the people of the US, the UK, and their elected representatives.

2. Targeting the civilian population of Iraq and civilian infrastructure, by intentionally directing attacks upon civilians and hospitals, medical centers, residential neighborhoods, electricity stations, and water purification facilities in violation of the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the International Covenant for Civil and Political Rights (“ICCPR”), Articles 7(1)(a), 8(2)(a)(i), and 8(2)(b)(i). The complete destruction of the city of Falluja in itself constitutes a glaring example of such crimes.

3. Using disproportionate force and indiscriminate weapon systems, such as cluster munitions, incendiary bombs, depleted uranium (DU), and chemical weapons. Detailed evidence was presented to the Tribunal by expert witnesses that leukemia had risen sharply in children under the age of five residing in those areas which had been targeted by DU weapons.

1. Cause US is the world most powerful nation
The custodians of this power the people of the US need alway to be on guard. With power come great responsibility. The world was shock in 2000 Al Gore. The world was stuck dumb in 2004 election.

The US is a prize that many will go to great length to grab. Make no mistake. it was stolen and now they are just robbing her of all the goodness they get get. When she has been totally used, abuses and weaken then will they realease her.

US HAS BEEN VOILATED RAPE BY EVILNESS GET ANGRY.
