So sad to even be having this discussion . . .
Let's not forget Wolfowitz
Karl Rove belongs on this list, too
These guys are the antichrist personified.
Edgar Bergen was Cheney's Secret Service alias...
The original Edgar Bergen was the voice behind Charlie McCarthy. If the Secret Service held Cheney to be the ventiloquist, who do you think the Dummy-in-Chief might have been, in the eyes of Secret Service.
And why aren't the 2 apostle Pauls (Wolfowitless & Bremmer-Wafer) on your list?
Wolfowitz promoted the assetment that We could rebuild Iraq using Their oil revenues, and therefore there would be little cost of war associated with the aftermath. I hope he explains this to the +3 million Iraqi refugees and the families of the dead and permanently disabled in both here and there.
I suppose Bremmer isn't really a criminal as much as a co-conspirator or accessory. He is just the idiot who issued the order to disband the Iraqi military in the name of de-Bathification. In short he threw anyone who was armed and trained into the ranks of the unemployed, along with their families. What a mouthpiece he turned out to be. On the other hand, he was high on the responsibility chain as a distributor of Billion$ in cash to... oh yeah, we don't know where much of that ca$h actually went to, do we?
Tony Blair should be on there as well. I think you guys should have had at least a page or 2 more on these thugs.
Those War Criminals
39. "And he (Pharaoh) and his hosts were arrogant in the land, without right, and they thought that they would never
return to Us."
40. "So We seized him and his hosts, and We threw them all into the sea (and drowned them). So behold
(O Muhammad SAW) what was the end of the Zalimoon (wrong-doers, polytheists and those who
disbelieved in the Oneness of their Lord (Allah), or rejected the advice of His Messenger Moosa
(Moses) )."
41. "And We made them leaders inviting to the Fire, and on the Day of Resurrection, they will not be
helped."
42. "And We made a curse to follow them in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection, they will be
among Al-Maqbuhoon (those who are prevented to receive Allahs Mercy or any good, despised or
destroyed, etc.)."
43. "And indeed We gave Moosa (Moses), after We had destroyed the generations of old, the Scripture
(the Taurat (Torah)) as an enlightenment for mankind, and a guidance and a mercy, that they might
remember (or receive admonition)."
44. "And you (O Muhammad SAW) were not on the western side (of the Mount), when We made clear to
Moosa (Moses) the commandment, and you were not among those present."
[The Qur'an surat Al-Qasas / The Story]
: )
" It is forbidden to kill: therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets. "
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
Don't worry, everything will work itself out: we all die someday. But unfortunately for these ass clowns all the money they made off war isn't going buy their way out of hell.
We don't have the will to bring them to justice? That's probably true. But we elected this sad lot. And you can say that you voted against them... or even that regardless of who you vote for you end up with the same corrupt politician in office but it's no excuse. The fact is it has gotten a hell of a lot harder to make sense of this government and this country in these times. Especially with the media's ever growing influence and widening gap between rich and poor. And we've all gone a bit lethargic just when we needed to be on our toes.
The sad thing is that Bush and his colleagues have actually done us all a favor over the last 8 years. They actually have the average American asking important questions for a change. Some of us are actually cleaning the sleep out of our eyes and looking at ourselves in the mirror.
Of course they are war criminals, but for some reason the American people don't have the will to bring them to justice.
No, they are war criminals who are responsible for the unnecessary deaths of about a million people, all so that Exxon, Chevron, BP and Shell could get access to Iraq's 200 billion+ barrels of sweet light crude.
200 billion barrels at $100-$200 a barrel is a net value of $20-$40 Trillion dollars. At an expected production rate of 5 million barrels a day, that is income of $180-$360 billion dollars a year.
The entire goal of the Iraq war was to remove Saddam from power, put a corrupt dictator on the throne, tear up all the old oil contracts, and make sure that the dictator granted Exxon and Chevron and BP and Shell first rights to Iraqi oil.
That's what the press won't talk about - becuase the press in the U.S. is owned and controlled by the same investors who also own and control the fossil fuel industry - the richest people on the planet, not more than a few thousand all told, are happy to see the planet fry as long as they've got unlimited air conditioning and endless retinues of servants to carry out their orders.
Democracy? What a sham.
I agree, the men who control the oil hold more power than any president. cutting off the oil supply is far worse than any nuke.
"Killing members of the opposing armed forces is the purpose of war, duh"
Who exactly are the opposing armed forces that we are fighting against? Or let me re-phrase the question, look out the window, do you see any Iraqi tanks and soldiers there? Let me ask you this, if you did, would you, lets say, throw a rock at them out of shear hatred, agony, pain, suffering etc.? If you answered "yes" then I guess you could call yourself an 'opposing armed force'. I would just call you a coward.
or as i call george w bush.
Governor Bush, is this is the only thing he got legally.
One million Iraqis killed in a bogus war about WMD is what? Foreign policy? National interest? A crime against humanity?
Killing the opposition in the field of battle isn't exactly a crime is it?
Although the Iraq War is unpopular, to call these 4 war criminals is a tad bit over the top I'd have to say. After all, the Iraqi people are now heading into an era of peace and prosperity, without having to fear torture and executions at the hands of a dictator.
" era of peace and prosperity,"
Where the fuck to you get your news from!?? Iraq is in total chaos! They don't even have a government yet and are far away from getting one! While they hate the americans most of the people became followers to what would be the next dictator and not the "political parties" (if we can call it that!) that supports democracy..
...and all it cost them was about a million of their own people... what a great deal! we should do this everywhere! where can i sign up?
Well now they have the fear of torture and executions from America instead!
As much as I despise these clowns, calling them the most wanted war criminals is a tad over dramatic particularly condemning acts like "Breached Geneva Conventions by approving the extrajudicial execution of suspected Al-Qaeda operatives anywhere in the world. " (killing members of the opposing armed forces is the purpose of war duh)
The "purpose" of war is to gain something the other as and that you don't.
Killing is just a side effect. While I agree that Bush Inc should be prosecuted for crimes against the humanity I believe that the focus on war criminals should remain on those who really deserves to be called so..
