Then we can assume that the Bombing of the Balkins was a war crime for the same reasons and those responsible should stand trial?

The problem with this war is it is being fought in a time of political correctness that is going to destroy our youth and our country. Most of the left that are now intent on weakening our war effort voted for it. This country does not produce men anymore! This war is nothing compared to what our fathers and grandfathers fought. I work in the Lexington,Concord area of Ma. and let me tell you. If the Revolutionary War happened today we would cave in like the bunch of pansies we are rapidly becoming. I call for the real men to stand up to this bunch of weak, left leaning people who run their lifes based on emotion instead of reality. the way I see it,this country is in a whole lot of trouble.

Skip? Is that you? You can continue to assume as much as you want as that is your forte.

How is this relevent to the conversation on Iraq? Unless you want to dive into the nuances of each action it doesn't add much value.

It's totally relevant to the point of Bush being charged with War Crimes for actions in Iraq which as you'll remember is the fourth choice in the poll question.
Or maybe we should start a new poll which could be:

Should Bush be held to higher standards than past Presidents?

Potential illegallity of the Balkins action under Clinton does in no way mean Bush is being held to a higher standard. Two wrongs wouldn't make a right...

I think there's good reason to take issue with both, but for very different reasons. To use one as a precident though doen't make much sense.

Your absolutely right.........and I never expected an answer from you or Skitter on the Balkins question. It just wouldn't fit.

Thanks then, this has been very productive

Yes, it has revealed an inability for you and Skippy to make substantial comments

Ther babies were designated A,B, and C. So my daughter assigned those temporary names. Gamma and Kappa just didn't work. She's a product of a Liberal University, what can I say.

Spence, entering the mosques and killing Sadr is my stated opinon, not that of anyone else, yet anyways. We've been told we cannot enter mosques for any reasons. Only Iwaqi soldiers and stupid dumb rabbits can. My only point here is that is an assinine policy. Most of the murderers in Iraq hide there.

It's simply not feasable most of the time. This isn't political correctness as much as pragmatic strategy. There are so many negatives they outweight the benefit. I'm speaking both locally (revolt) and Globally as it would be a PR boon for Jihadists.

We may have had an opportunity to nail Sadr a few years ago, but his position is so strong now that to directly go after him would be very difficult. It would appear to be US hegemony rather than democratic process.

We do need to find a way to minimize his influence in the Iraqi government. This certainly looks to be a long tent pole.

Asking if you felt War Crimes were commited in the Balkins bombing isn't relative to your feeling that War Crimes were commited in the bombing of Iraq? Okay. Like I said I didn't expect you to answer.

Just for the record Skitter, this was your response to my post when i described what i believed real war crimes were, holocaust, bataan death march etc.

So you respond to that post with your above comments, basiclly implying that shock and awe should be considered with the real war crimes i mentioned.

So how am i twisting your statements again?? Its pretty clear what you were implying, that sock and awe should be considered a war crime.

How am i misquoting you again!?

Skipper-lou,

A war crime is any violation of the laws of war. It's not just the really big stuff...

Perhaps, but that's not the point here. Skitter clearly implied that shock and awe should be in the war crimes category. How was shock and awe a war crime? I'm waiting for his reply....

Implying that civilians were killed is not saying Bush should be charged with war crimes....my war crimes comment was in general about all wars,no matter what country is doing the killing.... all wars bring death and destruction..... and its not sock and awe

Then end this drivle and say "I dont think Bush is guilty of war crimes"..........and if that doesn't work for you say: "I dont think Bush is any more guilty than his predecessor is of commiting war crimes".

Are you wearing a leather mask?


Control freaks are generally people who realize that they have no control but carry on none the less.

We are who we are and i refuse to be DEVOURED by any little big bad wolf of intellect imagined.

He asked a simple question. Do you believe president Bush is a war criminal? Yes or No

And if yes please explain why. With facts to back up your answer of course.

We're just trying to figure out what the hell your position is!
