Bush’s Anti-Terror Chief: Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld Can Be Tried at the Hague for the War Crimes They Committed In Iraq

George Washington's picture




 

Bush’s top counter-terrorism official for his first year as president – Richard Clarke – tells Democracy Now that Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld committed war crimes in Iraq … and that they can be tried at the Hague:

 

(Clarke retired in protest at the start of the Iraq war.) Clarke is right:

  • Indeed, it is not too late to charge Bush, Cheney or Rumsfeld for war crimes even under American law

And – as odd as it may sound – it’s not too late to impeach Bush, Cheney or Rumsfeld … even though they have are no longer in office.

Of course, Obama is also committing war crimes.  For example, the Obama administration has ordered numerous indiscriminate drone strikes … which are war crimes (more here and here).  And torture is also apparently continuing under Obama. See this and this.

And Obama should also be impeached.

What about the soldiers who actually prosecuted the war? Aren't they guilty of war crimes? The Nuremberg defense didn't work in 1946 and shouldn't work now.

Fuck no, anyone comparing US troops on the ground to Nazis is either a propagandist or never really looked at ehat Nazis did. Nuremberg defense doesn't apply to prosecuting a war, Iraq was a wasted shithole from day one and no ovens for the Jews. Not that you zerohedge fuckers would think that was a bad thing anyway.

Why is that idiots like Clarke never say anything like this when they are in a position to actually do something about it? Instead they wait until they are no longer accepting taxpayer largesse and on the lecture circuit or writing their damned books or paid commentators for whatever news channel.

He was never in a position to do anything about it; idiot. He's been speaking out to the deaf and ignorant and illiterate, like you, for 10 years.

The wheels for 9/11 were spinning long before Bush was in office. Clarke was likely involved and then regretted his role afterwards or maybe he was pissed off about not being promoted and started trashing Bush. They are all involved, from Clinton, Bush, and Obama and all of their underlings, which includes Clarke, who was a top honcho in the NSA under both Clinton and Bush. He knew what was going on.

Then Senator Hillary Clinton voted for the Iraq invasion.  Is there an arrest warrant with her name on it too?

Hillary may have been involved in a lot of other shady stuff as well.  As SecState, shipping arms to Al Qaeda in Syria through Benghzi. Ring a bell?
