Bush and Blair = guilty says war crimes tribunal
« on: May 13, 2012, 01:22:15 PM »
Former President George W. Bush and Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair were found guilty of war crimes at a Malaysian Tribunal today.

Quote
The second “Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal”, part of an initiative by former Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohamad, in a unanimous vote on Saturday found Bush and seven of his associates, including former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld guilty of torture and war crimes.

The court also heard evidence from former detainees in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, of torture methods used by US soldiers during their captivity in prisons run by American forces.

A former inmate, Abbas Abid appeared in a scarf fearing reprisals. He enacted how US troops subjected him to electric shocks, beatings and sexual abuse over a number of months.


Meanwhile, an Obama Administration official this week called its drone policy ethical and wise.

George Bush interrogated prisoners. Obama blows them up.
Bush is convicted of war crimes. Obama gets a peace prize.

I like the way this commenter thinks:

The Elector of Saxony commented:

The really stupid part of all of this nonsense is that when White Western Men were the most fearsome human beings on the planet (for most of human history, in other words) Malaysians would not dare to comment upon our behavior in defense of our own kinsmen. Yet, in just a few decades, we’ve given so much ground that an inferior culture decides to pass judgment upon the human beings who created Civilization. If we were still civilized, we’d drop a tactical nuke on Malaysia and take out a full page ad in every newspaper worldwide saying “Disturb us, and you’re next. End.” We probably could have handled the 9-11 response the same way if we weren’t afraid of what the savages and socialists abroad think of us. One tac nuke directed at a Mohammedan holy site with the promise of 100 more for each act of terrorism committed against any American anywhere would have ended the terror problem in seconds with no loss of American life. Weakness is stupidity. It is suicide.

Personally, I would prefer 20K pound tungsten sabots launched from spaceborne linear accelerators, with a random drawing for the madrassa of the week on Fridays, but that may just be me.
My doctor told me to start killing people.  Not in those exact words, she said I had to reduce the stress in my life.

Same thing.

I like it. A similar weapon system has been portrayed in the Star Wars universe: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/De-Orbiting_Kinetic_Anti-emplacement_Weapon
