LONDON (AFP) - Former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad called here Friday for an international tribunal to try Western leaders with war crimes over the war in Iraq, a spokesman for the organisers said.

Spokesman Mohammed Shafiq told AFP that Mahathir, who was in office from 1981 to 2003, wants to see the trio tried "in absence for war crimes committed in Iraq.

1. I don't care where it comes from....as long as it comes.

This pathetic dillusional idiot we have living in the WH now needs to be held accountable for his war crimes. ...along with darth cheney, sleezy, rumsfeld and the rest of the crime family.

I sincerely hope some day they are punished for their crimes. I mean nothing less than what Saddam got, in my humble opinion.

18. What'd the raving psycho say? What'd I MiSS?

[Nostradammit]

Damn. We should have seen it coming.

Something tells me you have no idea what women actually crave.


Oh yeah,

You're punch drunk! :rofl:

[ThomCat]

14. Wow. That's a twisted, very artificial and contrived view of the world

that you have.

There are so many really warped and delusional things in your post that it's hard to imagine how anyone could come to believe all of that.

Are you fucking kidding me, troll?

I don't know what kind of soulless, spineless females you've spent time around, but we REAL WORLD girls aren't the LEAST bit fucking interested in some hormone-pumped, aggressively macho fuckwad. I'd seriously die before tolerating another fucking asshole like you--and you know what? Secretly, quietly, the women around you are thinking the same thing. They also probably think that your cock is fucking miniscule, but that's beside the point.

Face it, loser. My girlfriend could kick your keyboard-warrior fucking ass all over town. I personally like both the guys AND the gals (more the guys, to be honest) but I'm no shrinking fucking violet. If a man made the ENORMOUS mistake of trying to "dominate" me, he'd be a goddamned wheelchair while the place where his balls used to be healed up.

Fuck you AND you misogynistic agenda. I'd kick your basement-dwelling, "Promise Keepers" ass myself if you were man enough to show up here.

Most sincerely,

Oktoberain

2. Four words can sum up the chances of this.

"Not going to happen"
The US as a country wields to much power atm to ever allow such a trial regardless of how much it may or may not be warranted.

[Crabby Appleton]

17. I agree. nt

[bemildred]

20. Oh, they can hold a "tribunal" if they want.

I think there have already been some. Holding one that is more than a PR exercise is another matter.

8. Thank you former prime minister, Malaysia rules for this blip

on the screen...

22. Hope to see something come of it.

In other news, I'm pretty damn curious about what Mr. Name Removed had to say in his deleted message. Two popcorns, even.

If somebody saved it, PM it to me, pretty please :)

[strategery blunder]

23. PM the troll to me too please?

I'll raise you three popcorns :)

24. Enjoyed reading this...bummed that I missed the troll

Because evidently it was a doozy...but not a DUzy.

25. Think "precious bodily fluids" and you are in the right neighborhood.

I was kicking myself for not saving a copy, but it's probably best now that I think about it.
