More Shame, More Sorrow

[bemildred]

In the administration of George W. Bush, the Republican Party has achieved the greatest combination of idiocy and evil in human history.

The Republicans have bogged America down in a gratuitous and illegal war. The war has destroyed Iraq, killed between 650,000 and 1,000,000 Iraqi civilians, displaced 4,000,000 Iraqis, and littered the country with depleted uranium. Bush’s war remains unwon despite its five year duration and $1 trillion in out-of-pocket and incurred future costs.

Bush’s invasion of Iraq is a war crime under the Nuremberg standard, a direct counterpart to Hitler’s invasion of Poland. Both were based on lies and deception, and the declared reasons for both were masks for secret agendas.

Bush’s invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, his planned attack on Iran , and his support for Israel’s attack on Lebanon and genocidal policies toward the Palestinians have radicalized the Middle East and Muslims worldwide. American and Israeli aggression have vindicated Osama bin Laden’s propaganda, produced massive recruits for Al Qaeda, and unleashed destabilizing forces throughout the Middle East.

3. If you could pin him down on it...

...I think it would all boil down to "it seemed like a good idea at the time."

4. The Principles of Nuremberg

Many would like to see this administration held accountable and held accountable at Nuremberg. If for no other charge than violating the principle of rule of law set forth at Nuremberg.

But also to remind everyone of what happens when you forget. And we all forgot. The "Good Germans" that we are.

5. the boor needed something to do....

much like a chip of sand drifting around in ocean current which finds an open oyster and settles in. The oyster deals with the irritation by coating the irritation with special residue, similar to what makes the shell, but of much harder, smoother quality. Of course, the bush 'irritation' hasn't caused the national metabolism to coat it with its finest materiel, just something that wss readilyy available and worked, and instead of a pearl of great price, a hideous zit of some sort, still mostly hidden in the fat of mediawhore lies, and requiring a generation of surgery to remove-if it in fact, can ever be removed!
the bush family are the ultimate parasite- they kill the host!
rush limbah needs killing, the freepers are finally discovering...

6. Two of the Prosecutors Remember Nuremberg...

Two prosecutors from Nuremberg just reflected on Nuremberg. And indirectly on the Bush Administation.

"King accused the United States, which pushed the World War II Allies to create the tribunal for Nazi war criminals, of now "fighting a rear-guard action against the advancement of the Nuremberg principles." He referred to a memo by outgoing Attorney General Alberto Gonzales labeling the Geneva Conventions "quaint," and he chastised the Bush administration for withholding support from the ICC."

Bush withheld support in order to prevent the ICC from prosecuting anyone in his administration or in his military and of course to prevent the ICC from prosecuting him. Perhaps our next president will change that.

"Harris and others at the conference suggested that war as a method for settling international disputes should no longer be tolerated and that aggression needed to be defined as one of the crimes against humanity."

Our invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq were not the result of international disputes and so cannot be classified as such and were, as they were under Hitler, merely aggressive acts of a conqueror rather than a liberator.
