Defendants in the dock at the Ango-American War Crimes Trial of 2010
(This is from last year - but I have never seen it and I wanted to share, K-pete)

Scenes We'd Like to See



Defendants in the dock at the Ango-American War Crimes Trial of 2010, held at The Hague under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.
Of the 20 defendants shown here -- the so-called "Republican Guard" -- only one (Alan Greenspan, second row, second from right) was found not guilty, on the grounds that the destruction of the American economy and the global financial crash of 2008, while regrettable, did not constitute war crimes as defined by the Geneva Convention.

Another defendant (Ari Fleischer, front row, extreme right) received only a light sentence, as the court determined that lying to the American people was too common a crime to merit more severe punishment.

In a more controversial decision, former Secretary of State Colin Powell was spared any prison time at all, after the judges ruled that being seated between former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Richard Myers for the entire eight-month trial constituted "punishment enough."

Former Vice President Richard Cheney (second row, extreme left), who feigned narcolepsy throughout most of the trial, was committed to the newly established United Nations Hospital for the Criminally Insane, as was former National Security Advisor and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (next to Cheney), who insisted on being addressed as "Mrs. Bush" during the the trial.

The remaining defendants were sentenced to life terms at the Guantanamo War Crimes Penitentiary -- the same facility used to imprison the remaining leaders of the Al Qaeda terrorist organization, whose own war crimes trial began shortly after this picture was taken.

1. Who will preside over the trial? Osama or Saddam?

Eh, who cares..........

What will the citizens of the OUSA (Occupied United States of America) be sentenced to? It was their decisions to elected these men into high office. Ignorance is no defense. Surely their lives (all 300 million) must be forfeit - oh well.

After the carnage I have seen over the last 5 years, I will settle for nothing less than the deaths of ALL these Americans.

2. The MSM should be the second group on trial for abetting the war
criminals.
