There are NO WAR CRIMES committed by George Bush...I guess if you had one to tell us about you would share it with us, but let's face it, this is just a "hate George Bush at all costs" question with no validity or truth attached...you libs should really lose the hatred and try reality every so often.

Perhaps in your question, you should've sited instances in which you believe he should be charged. We cannot forget his title for the moment, as his actions are all governed by what he must or chooses to do as President.

I take it as a badge of courage to get so many thumbs down for an obviously murderous president who knowingly lied to our people, government and the world --- proud to be a traitor in so many eyes. Just like I was before the wars.

We've been through this before. He can no more be prosecuted for war crimes than you can. There are no war crimes. Making mistakes does not constitute a crime.

Only if the democratic senators who also voted for the war, based on the same intelligence Bush received, are also tried.
If you want to impeach Bush for anything, it should be failure to protect our borders... Other than infastructure, this is the main purpose of our government.

That's not for us to decide, it will be for the international community. To my knowledge and I may be misreading the law, by law any pre-emptive war is illegal and the offenders must be tried under international law.
I hope it doesn't come to that, because having a US President tried under international law would be bad for the American public. But then again, having a lawless president has raised our public lawlessness now to the point where I have to lock my car door and house door to feel safe.

My personal opinions of Bush aside....
There are no specific crimes that he has committed. Theoretically, we elect a person as president because we trust them to use their judgement to handle situations as they best see fit. Our term limits ensure that we can get someone else in that position if we don't like or agree with the current one. If you want war crimes charges against Bush, then there are at least 10 other presidents that also should have been charged. Should we have charged Clinton with neglect because he told the CIA not to act on Bin Laden when they had a chance?

Yes, and after he is convicted of waging aggressive war against Iraq (which was a charge several nazis were convicted of), he and the rest of the high ranking members of his administration should all be tossed into a Supermax prison for the rest of their lives and kept in solitary confinement.

Absolutely not! George Bush has fought for freedom for all! Unlike other presidents, Bush acted. Saddam and his boys, and God knows who else, would take young girls and r**e them for days. They would kill members of families just because one member disagreed with their desires. Saddam used chemicals to wipe out his own people. Someone needed to come to these people's aid. Why is it that whenever an injustice is done in some country, that people in the US insist that the United States come to their aid, and if we don't, we're bad! Now a President 'acts'.... and frees the people, and you want to make him a war criminal. History will prove that President Bush was and is a great President!

No. He has done what he felt was best. Perhaps he has been advised incorrectly but he did act in what he felt was in the best interest of our country. Many other presidents have done similar things.

Wow, it's so hard for me to take this seriously. Hmm, let me see, do you know the definition of war crimes? Besides, how can he commit war crimes when he's been given the approval of Congress to wage this war? And you can't say it's because the UN didn't approve, because international law states that the US doesn't need the approval of the UN, only the approval of congress. You and a lot of other people say he's committed all of these atrocities without any evidence to back it up. Maybe we should do what you want, and pack our bags and leave 25 million innocent Iraqi civilians to defend themselves against militias, terrorists, and death squads. To me, that would be an atrocity.

I see from the most of the answers that people love to remain deceived about the real cause of war. So they don't see any harm in sending our troops to kill people that have done nothing to America.
Where is the evidence that Iraq or Afghanistan had anything to do with "terrorist" attacks?
Answered By: MLF - 9/20/2007 |

Yes.
No brainer. I just looked at all the previous answers and cannot believe the... naiveté.
The list is endless folks. Bush has a horrible international reputation and he has taken America along for the ride.
He has flouted every itnernational law and organization on this planet.
However, he is more or less just a front for a nasty cabal. His father is the true Beelzebub, and he is Beelzeshrub. The same men who served with his father have been serving with him and pulling the strings. And if anyone thinks it will be different wit any of the democrats, think again. They are all on the same team now.
With Bush you take Cheney, KISSINGER, Rumsfield, Rove, Gonzales, the two Bushes, but this is just a dream that will not come about. OH and remember, at some point people might remember Bush with fondness once Arnold steps up with the fourth reich in all seriousness. Yeah, you think it won't happen? Think again. It is that overpowering Nazi connection in America. 50 000 prominent Nazis shipped to North America in Operation Paperclip ~ because the government was afraid to let their expertise in military and psychological matters fall into soviet hands. Or so the story went.
The Shrub is doing what he was groomed to do. Sadly, the mind controled public does not see the truth and proof of the effectiveness of their work. People, mind control is here. We are all in it. Bush will hold on for as long as he can.. or very possibly there will be another manufactured tragedy.. like war in Iran... to mean martial law or suspension of elections will occur.
I mean, between him and Clinton, who was a Bush puppet also, America is now in terrible shape on every level and things are just warming up! They have done their jobs well acting as henchmen for the "Elite" who are pushing so hard for their New World Older.
All is going to plan. And.. if he does have to leave office, he will continue to snub his nose at the world ~ while MAYBE one or two of his compatriots take a "well paid for" vacation to placate the gullible public. ~ the proverbial fall guy.

He's a criminal and he is the worst kind!
There are a lot of things he committed that were illegal, like secret torture camps outside the US run by the CIA. That violates the Geneva Conventions and the US Constitution! That violates intrnational law. His attack on Iraq violated international law!
Hare are a feaw:
A PETITION
for
The Impeachment of George W. Bush
TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES
WHEREAS George W. Bush essentially murdered 6000* of his own countrymen, by allowing terrorists, in the face of specific intelligence and warnings by domestic and foreign agents, to highjack jumbo jets and use them as bombs against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and,
WHEREAS George Bush thereby caused damage in the millions of dollars, first from the initial incident and subsequent cascade of consequences which fell primarily on the shoulders of working class people, while he bailed out his rich cronies, and,
WHEREAS George W. Bush then perpetrated an illegal war against the country of Afghanistan, killing thousands of innocent civilians, women and children, mostly from starvation and exposure, in a pretext of “making war against terrorism”, which was, in reality, a clandestine plot to install a puppet government and begin to extract the oil and heroin resources of the region, and,
WHEREAS George W. Bush has surreptitiously used the “terrorist” issue to suspend the Constitution of the United States, mainly through the USA PATRIOT Act, suspending the rights of habeas corpus, legal representation and lawyer-client privilege while increasing the use of eavesdropping, snooping and electronic surveillance furthering the draconian restrictions to personal freedoms characteristic of this illegal regime, and,
WHEREAS George W. Bush has telegraphed his intention to withdraw from the family of man and the civilized global society by withdrawing from the ABM Treaty, the Kyoto Protocol and the World Court, preferring to pursue a course of world and space domination,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that we, the People, Undersigned, being citizens of the United States and registered voters in the Counties and States so indicated, HEREBY Demand that the Congress of the United States begin immediate impeachment proceedings against said George W. Bush, pretender to the office of the President of the United States, and further demand they vigorously pursue all civil and criminal penalties to each and every member of this administration, agency employees, and members of the congress or intelligence apparatus who willingly and with malice aforethought participated in these heinous crimes.
*Footnote 1. These are official U.S. numbers. The death-toll at the World Trade Center was placed at 6,700 in September, 2001. The figures were used liberally by pundits and politicians alike to fuel the hunt for Osama bin Laden and the U.S. war on Afghanistan. The initial civilian death- toll from U.S. bombing in Afghanistan was 20 to 37. The U.S. death-toll was continually revised downward while world health officials elevated the Afghani casualties. The numbers became equal around June 2002. The present numbers are: U.S. deaths 2,919; Afghani deaths 3,215. So, George Bush’s body count remains nearly constant...the victims’ identities have changed. (for an excellent discussion, see Marc Herold at www.cursor.org/stories/heroldon911.htm)
*Footnote 2. Figures for Afghani deaths are from U.S. bombing alone. They do not include the thousand who died from starvation and exposure as a result of U.S. closure of relief supply routes from Azerbijan and Pakistan.

Have all of you previous answerers forgotten how hard Bush fought to try to make torture legal? Even when the anti-torture bill passed by such a wide margin he couldn't veto it, he issued one of his usual signing statements, saying, "I'll enforce it as I see fit." In Bush-speak that means he won't enforce it at all and he wants the torture to continue. Have you ever heard of a little thing called the Geneva Convention? We're not just talking about U.S. laws here; we're talking about international law.
