    According to your logic does that mean I can charge every single person with a crime just because I do not like them? Someone says they are of a different religion; do I charge them with a religious crime? Someone says they are black; do I charge them with a race crime?

    Just because you do not like Bush does not mean you can charge him for something he did not do, especially since nothing illegally was done! Learn some commonsense. Tough if you don't like him. At least he isn't like Clinton and did nothing after 9/11 like Clinton did when we were attacked over 5 times by the terrorists! At least Bush does not have a Waco experience under his Presidency either, or sells rocket technology to China for more money. Now China has a missile program that is very dangerous and powerful and they want to make a nuclear aircraft carrier to further create more war machines! So if anything Clinton did more war crimes and regular treasonous crimes than Bush according to your logic!

    Look Zippy, to be tried as a war criminal you have to actually commit a war crime. What have they done? The answer; is nothing illegal. Why don't all you anti-war, anti-Bush, cheese eating surrender monkey cowards learn that just because you don't like something, that does not make it a crime. I don't like Hillary, she authorized the USA to go to war so I guess she and every other Democrat should be thrown in to the war criminal category as well. See it goes both ways. You are just like the other mentally challenged people that want Bush impeached. THERE HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF CRIME!

    You can't put someone on trial for something they didn't do.

    Bush asked Congress for permission to attack Iraq- premission was granted.

    So, where's the crime?

    Want to know who IS close to commiting a crime?

    Those who don't support the troops and what they are doing by backing the current situation.

    When we invaded Iraq in '91, the country was behind us, and we did our job.

    When we invaded Afganistan, the country was behind us and we did our job.

    When we first invaded Iraq, the country was mostly behind us,and we made great strides toward our goal, but then fell away quickly, so now we can't do our job, and on the war drags.

    Think about it.

    sure. as soon as they are charged with war crimes or any crime at all. do you know of any crimes they have committed? i don't want to hear about an illegal war or how you think you were lied to. i mean actual charges that exist and have been brought against them by a country or world body. I'm waiting.
