For our freeeeeeedooooooms!

Whatever that might be.

Waterboarding? Wimp. Obama just has them snipered.
Quick, easy, no trials and a Nobel Peace Prize to boot.

I would favor the arrest of Dick Cheney myself, but I'll take this.

Yeah, run with that. Good luck.

AI should go play in traffic.

Good luck getting anywhere near him to make that arrest.

A million civilians have died in Iraq. Without question he should be put on trial.

String him up and record it on a cellphone.

I am sure that everyone here who agrees that Bush should be arrested for these crimes will also agree that Obama should be arrested as well, as Gitmo is still opened, so are other rendition centers, the practices in those haven't changed since he took office, the increased drone strikes in MULTIPLE countries (most of them we are not at war with, such as Yemen) have killed hundreds of civilians since Obama took office, there are still troops in Afghanistan and in Iraq, it's now 3 years after he took office and there is no way this can be chalked as 'Well, you know, he needs some time to get everything in gear' but this is clearly a continuation (and in many cases) an escalation of the same policies Bush started while he was in office. Oh, and also now strikes to kill American citizens declared enemies of the state, and the last bill that passed.

So yes, indeed, both should be arrested right? (no, they shouldn't be)

adiabat: Waterboarding? Wimp. Obama just has them snipered.

Which would be true, if the word "snipered" had no specific definition.

Tatsuma: I am sure that everyone here who agrees that Bush should be arrested for these crimes will also agree that Obama should be arrested as well

That's the problem with ideology. One can be so certain, and yet so very wrong.

cameroncrazy1984: Which would be true, if the word "snipered" had no specific definition.

I believe the correct term is "sniped".

Oh yeah, front row seats! Imma go get popcorn.

bunner: Remember all those threads in the Bushy 00's where people on this site said "You know, Bush and Cheney are probably gonna get indicted for war crimes"? And the water carriers all said "DERP DERP, get a brain libtards! Hello! AMERICA!"? Ah, ha ha.

No, intelligent conservatives just said that Republicans should be immune from such charges, since they use war crimes in a manner that promote the general welfare. Democrats use war crimes to raise taxes. Oh wait, war crimes and taxes are one and the same. Stupid libs. Get owned.

Tatsuma: So yes, indeed, both should be arrested right?

Okay. Issue warrants on both of them.

I'll wait here.

Britney Spear's Speculum: We get it, he's black.

Why yes you are right and you completely disproved my point here.

make me some tea: I would favor the arrest of Dick Cheney myself, but I'll take this.

lol
not like bush ever left the country before becoming president, why would he leave the country now?
and risk arrest??
LOL

farking darth-cheney ...
who is the other dark lord? still in hiding

Mr. Bush is visiting Ethiopia, Tanzania and Zambia this week to raise awareness about cervical and breast cancer and HIV/AIDS.

WAIT? WHAT THE FARK?????

AIDS?
wasnt his solution to aids in africa was to ban funding for condoms??

/my god they should keep him in africa

New York Rep. Peter King called Amnesty's action misguided.

""If Amnesty International had any intellectual honesty, it would give President Bush a medal to honor him for liberating so many oppressed Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan..."

I...

I just....

*head desk*

namatad: WAIT? WHAT THE FARK?????

AIDS?
wasnt his solution to aids in africa was to ban funding for condoms??

*Sigh*

Bush controls the Vatican, too?

I wish people who want to bash him (and there are many many reasons to) would at least somewhat educate themselves before just ranting about everything he did.

Bush's Africa policy is not only his best achievement, but he did more for Africa as a President than any other President in modern recent history, including Obama. There's a reason why it's probably the only place in the world where people have a pretty good opinion of the guy.

In fact his Africa policy and the work he has been doing for Africa is probably the ONLY thing where no one can bash him.

Seriously, people.

Bush doesn't get the credit he deserves for the HIV money he put into Africa. We paid for a ton of HIV drugs and awareness training in Africa under Bush (and that funding has decreased under Obama, as far as I know). It actually was very fruitful. Hate him for the plethora of other reasons, the Bush administration gets a win there.

Britney Spear's Speculum: Link (new window)

Why yes cutting aid to ONE organization because 'it condones forced abortions in China' is the same as saying 'no condoms to africans' good job you really are making this thread better by participating thank you

Amnesty International joins Switzerland in calling for the arrest of George W. Bush for war crimes.

So... are they going to change their name to just "International" now? Because I'm pretty sure "amnesty" is right off the agenda.

Really?

scratches head and ponders for a moment. Who the fark gives a fark about Africa?

Okay, we did that whole blackhawk down thing. That wasn't good. Somalians keep piracy going. Somewhere else they're killing each other because they're from the wrong tribe.

HIV seems to be their biggest export. Fark 'em....or maybe not - you should wear a condom at least.

MurphyMurphy: Just because you voted for a war criminal and belonged to his political party, doesn't make him any less of a war criminal.

Just because you might view this as an assault on your personal politics, or on the integrity of our country doesn't change the facts or the situation.

Our country sustained much more damage to it's integrity by the secret prisons and torture and other war crimes being exposed than any trial and punishment of a former President could ever do.

We signed the Geneva Conventions,
our constitution holds us to our international treaties.
We executed Japanese for water-boarding Americans.

In THIS country, we believe in justice and rule of law.

He should have a trial and face the consequences of his actions. If he's innocent or was justified, a court will decide.


You see normally you would be correct, but he U.S. actually has a long standing policy of the people that make the rules are legally allowed to break the rules. It applies at all levels.

Looks like history is judging the Bush administration.

From what Bush officials said in the past, they should be totally OK with this.

Lligeret: You see normally you would be correct, but he U.S. actually has a long standing policy of the people that make the rules are legally allowed to break the rules. It applies at all levels.

Does "If the President does it, it's not illegal" sound familiar?

This "they should arrest him" crap is like the least a group can do and still have someone report on it. It's like people that slap "Free Tibet" stickers on their cars. It does nothing. It's to make them feel better about themselves and nothing else.

Sitting in Europe, writing a heated email about Bush, while calling on someone in Africa to arrest Bush is actually less than adding a bumper sticker to your crappy Volvo wagon. Let these big talkers come and do the arrest themselves. Then they have a little skin in the game and we'll see how it plays out. I would then look forward to Darwin taking care of the rest.
