AMERICAblog: Sudanese president to be charged with genocide

  • Nigel Elliott · 1 year ago
    There's still time for the Hague to charge Bush with war crimes. (crossing fingers)

    O/T

    Moscow tells Washington the need a missile-defence shield based in Europe is unnecessary, since Iran's new missile tests revealed Europe is out of range of its arsenal.

    But when will the American president be charged? That's one he can't pardon himself out of before he leaves office.

    Can Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld be far behind?
    They must read this and wonder, "Would they charge me?"

    Well, (Punk!) do you feel lucky?

    Yeah, so, you all have already asked the question re Bush Cheney. And what about Mugabe? How many has he slaughtered as well, under govt authority?

    .
    Bush pulled us out of the Hague years ago. They only have jurisdiction if you give them jurisdiction. Obama will have to go after Dubya himself.

    Well, I waited for the sign all night before I proceeded with the hex but it never came. It's a common thing I'm aware of alot but it never materialized. That tells me it wouldn't be justified so I can't proceed. There must be something beyond Pelosi's control for why she doesn't impeach.
  • Õ¿Õ · 1 year ago
    Which is really a relief. I don't like hexes even if they're justified..

    The haters are coming out on CSPAN...the ill-informed, the ignorant, the racists and misogynists and just plain misanthropes...those who can't think more deeply than a superficial wax job.

    Grrrr.

    Ignorance is plentiful O&W. The slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, millions of refugees, ethnic cleansing, theft of resources, torture of thousands, imprisonment of thousands - all make Mugabe look like an amateur. But when the United States commits War Crimes - they get a pass.

    If you're a GOP fascist, ignorance is next best thing to slice bread.

    I noticed that the other day. Sounded like an organized, call-in hate fest.
  • hawkseye · 1 year ago
    In addition to the deaths of soldiers, how many Iraqis have died since Bush invaded?

    tomorrow's headline [not]

    The chief prosecutor of the Internationals Criminal Court will seek an arrest warrant Tuesday for American President George UU. Bush and President of Vice Richard "such a Dick" Cheney, charging them with genocide and crimes against humanity in the orchestration of a campaign of violence that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians in the world's Middle-East region during the past six years, according to U.N. officials and diplomats.

    The action by the prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo of Argentina, will mark the second time that the tribunal in The Hague charges a sitting head of state with such crimes, and represents a major step by the court to implicate the highest levels of the American government for the atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    About time. Someone should be watching out for the citizens of this world.
    Someone should hold these ruthless butchers accountable. Someone should start holding people responsible for the killing of innocent lives.
    With so many dictators like Mugabe and others who qualify for this, we should also offer our war criminals Bush and Cheney as a start to these proceedings.

    There was a Greek philosopher who centuries ago said the law was like a spider's web. Small stuff got caught up in it but the big stuff just breaks through.

    I'm not defending this guy but I can't imagine why he wouldn't be like fuck all ya'll, you can charge me after you charge every president of the US since WW2 and every prime minister of Israel, nearly every prime minister of England, France and all the tin pot dictators around the world that get away with this shit year after year after year with the west's approval. Its a sad state of affairs, but even Jimmy Carter would hang if this thing was an honest court.

    All that having been said, I think its a great move because it sets the basis for a precedent which might one day catch a president. I nominate Shrub.
