Tony Blair knew days before the invasion there were no WMD's? Try him for Crimes Against Humanity

4662 coalition deaths in Iraq and over 102,000 dead Iraqi civilians (I'll refrain from showing numerous caskets with little boys & girls laying dead in them from the air-strikes)




Crime against humanity

Crimes against humanity, as defined by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court Explanatory Memorandum, "are particularly odious offenses in that they constitute a serious attack on human dignity or grave humiliation or a degradation of one or more human beings. They are not isolated or sporadic events, but are part either of a government policy (although the perpetrators need not identify themselves with this policy) or of a wide practice of atrocities tolerated or condoned by a government or a de facto authority. Murder; extermination; torture; rape and political, racial, or religious persecution and other inhumane acts reach the threshold of crimes against humanity only if they are part of a widespread or systematic practice. Isolated inhumane acts of this nature may constitute grave infringements of human rights, or depending on the circumstances, war crimes, but may fall short of falling into the category of crimes under discussion."<1>




There's some other people (and one vampire that only comes out at night) that should also go before the ICC in The Hague...

3. They all knew it.

but we are supposed to forget about it and move on. which is, total BULLshit.

4. agreed. and, by not confronting it, our current POTUS will be noted in the history books as

having let those who committed major atrocities against another nation, and caused thousands of our own troops to die needlessly, off without so much as a reprimand. I'm sure he'd say he can live with it, there's nothing there, we need to look forward etc - but everything is laying right out there for everyone to see - and many see it crystal clear!

10. the uber powerful and wealthy never serve time.

and the history books take a long time to show them for who they truly are.
I gave up on justice long ago.

11. Bush promised - promised the American people he would go back to the Security Council

In his speech just before the invasion, Bush promised the American people on national television that he would return to the UN Security Council for a vote, up or down. Instead, according to a plan formulated by Condi Rice, he had the private phone lines and the homes of the members of the Security Council bugged by the NSA to see where they stood. Bush chickened out when he found out he would lose. And the British were in on the deception.

5. Why would Tony Blair be so willing to get the UK involved in Iraq

Bush lying us into war is one thing, but why would Blair want the war even more than Bush?

6. BP-Amoco

Nuff said.

7. that was fast and sounds pretty accurate! tens of billions in oil price increases

plus all the military firms, gear, support corporations for the military made millions every year off these bloodbaths...

9. England went from being a net exporter to a net importer of oil in the 90s

They need the pipelines in Anglo-American hands and not in Russian, Middle Eastern or South American hands.

8. That's correct - justice demands it

You can understand all other events and players' further actions by their reaction to this fact.
