War Crimes?

[Californian Mod Haters]

Apparently someone thinks we(/George Bush) did war crimes.

...Perhaps no person on the planet is equipped to identify and describe our war crimes than Ben Ferencz, a former chief prosecuter of the Nuremberg Trials...

The implacations of this is startling. This means George Bush could be executed once Europe stops acting like wusses. Opinions?

[Rolling squid]

I would say that Bush committed war crimes, what with all the secret torture prisons, openly admitted torture prisons, and invading a sovereign nation without justification. I'm fairly sure at least one of those is a violation of the Geneva convention, ergo, Bush is a war criminal.

Who cares? He overstepped his bounds in the name of religion and democracy.
We're still living with the abomination of the PATRIOT Act and Guantanamo Bay. As far as I'm concerned, Bush, Cheney, all of them can go to trial for perverting American liberty and smearing our name in the history books. Oh yeah, and the hideous war crimes that they committed.

[Fredrikshamn]

Technically, he invaded a sovereign nation under false pretenses and he knew those pretenses were false at the time too, so I do believe this would constitute a war crime although I am no expert of International law or diplomacy.

So I believe just because he is an American that doesnt give him or any American for that an automatic immunity from being tried at an International level.

[Unchecked Expansion]

The Enemy Combatant school of thought was an incredibly immoral way to conduct a war. You cannot claim moral high ground in a war by refusing your enemy the rights you decry them for opposing. Detention without trial and torture seem like war crime to me

[Isolous]

I don't think anyone would want to piss off the US by threatening their (edt: former, thank god) leader, war crimes or not.

As long as all of Congress goes to jail too.

Sure, why not. People need a goddamn wakeup call.

Why?

[Conservative Alliances]

I do not think he is.

[Hellond]

Morally, he is a war criminal. But the US is the #1 military power in the world, so he isn't a war criminal.

[CommunistSovietAmerica]

Bush and Cheney were some of the worst leader this nation has ever seen along with Andrew Jackson, Nixon, and now Obama, but they weren't War Criminals.

[Libertarian Governance]

I believe there is the possibility for any nation on Earth to prosecute Baby Bush for war crimes. The nation just has to issue a warrant and then arrest. Maybe Chavez will get him. We can only hope.

I would actually put Bush right in the middle. He was not great, but he was not horrible. I can think of way too many presidents that were worse, at least in my opinion.

[FreeSatania]

In keeping with the precedent set by the Nobel Committee to honour his future potential War Crimes and in order to fit in with all of you baby murdering liberals I too voted for Obama.

[Birminghamia]

If "pro" is the opposite of "con", then what is the opposite of "progress"?

Their war-criminal status is debatable, but every Representative and Senator who voted for the USA PATRIOT Act, as well as Bush, are criminals anyway for violating the 4th amendment (warranted search and seizure).

Chavez, really?

No one will ever prosecute any American leader for anything. Look what it took Nixon to resign. With the only other two impeachments being total bullshit (Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton), US Presidents are basically immune to the law, unless they do something clearly and seriously in the wrong.

Why do you think I want to President? To serve my country when I can buy tortoises for $0.30 in Madagascar and sell them for $10,000 in America? jk

Your link is broken...

And from what I can see, your info's far out of date.

I want to be President so I can throw around the nuclear football on the White House lawn with my boys.

I agree its highly unlikely. Still Chavez already said he was the Devil . The law is out there and accepted by everyone, so long as its not their people being prosecuted. All it would take is some ballsy leader to send the Snatch up boyz and cart Baby Bush right off. No one here except a few sordid government officials would really care.

I'm pretty sure President Obama would care that someone under the protection of the Secret Service was kidnapped. He'd be pissed.

[The Norse Hordes]

Wait, its a debate that he committed war crimes?

Torture is a war crime. We said so. Our own pecident makes it so. This isnt up for debate. Hes only not being prosecuted because Obama is being a wimp about it and most of congress are wimps.

The most that will happen is some countries will arrest him if he goes to said countries. Which would be a nice little symbolic gesture, but in practice wont actually do much as he can just...you know...not go to those countries.

With all do respect...are you on crack? If someone came in and essentially kidnapped a former US leader, the vast majority of people would be pissed.
