Former U.N. Nuclear Weapons Inspector: "GW Bush should face criminal investigation"

Re: Former U.N. Nuclear Weapons Inspector: "GW Bush should face criminal investigati

The enemy is within and you are on their side. Not to worry, it is an internal mental thing and you haven't noticed.

Being from New York, this statement makes me laugh.

Muslim terrorists flew planes into buildings in YOUR STATE and yet the enemy is GWB and the right. That is very very :lamo

Well you know what, the next time your state takes a plane up its ass pipe and you lose 3000 people, don't come asking me for help. Because after all, we are your ENEMY. Now I am fully content with my decision not to send any money to your state after 9-11. I wouldn't want you to be accused of being aided by the enemy.

The enemy is within

If your internal voices are enemies telling you things, there may be a way to rectify that particular situation.

El Baradei just wants to gain points for the next elections in Egypt. Attacking the Americans can be a good tactic to please the Arab public opinion. Because he certainly knows that it is simply impossible to judge Bush, even if he is guilty of something. Only the Americans can judge him, and I don’t see them having the desire to do it.

ridiculous.

El Beradei has been saying the same things since before the war. Lame, shallow, don't look below the surface dismissal.
 
Re: Former U.N. Nuclear Weapons Inspector: "GW Bush should face criminal investigati

Isn't Elbaradie linked up with the Muslim Brotherhood?

Thoroughly.

Unfortunately, too many irrational people think the enemy of their enemy is their friend, and since they consider Bush the enemy...........

Something smells like fish.

did you scroll all the way down to a point after the last

The USA will never be defeated by outside interests or foreign governments.
If we fail, it will be an inside job.
 
Re: Former U.N. Nuclear Weapons Inspector: "GW Bush should face criminal investigati

While I believe that an outside investigation, by a group with no interests in the case would be great.
unfortunately try finding an outside group, with no interests.

Also as a note someone mentioned the Muslim Brotherhood, they have a non-violent stance. So I don't find them all that much of a threat and believe members maybe trust-able.

Found this article from YahooNews.com:

ElBaradei suggests war crimes probe of Bush team

From the article:

Bush took action because he was responsible for the safety and security of 300 million people, even though the possibility of another attack was a hundred or even a million to one, and we'll really never know what would have happened had Bush taken a different path.

Faced with the same situation and responsibility, Clinton, Gore and even Obama would have done the same thing.

Re: Former U.N. Nuclear Weapons Inspector: "GW Bush should face criminal investigati

I think right after the prosecute Bush and his team, they do the same to Obama.

I will agree there are a lot who should be on that block. I don't agree Obama is equal to Bush, the one who started all this and created such a lose lose situation.

Agreed. No one, not al Qaeda or anyone else, could have done more damage to us than we did to ourselves by being reckless and foolish.

We don't know what other presidents would've done and speculation is just terrible. Frankly none of terrorists that took part in 9-11 were from Iraq and Afghanistan. I personally that is reason enough for me. American intelligence of the time seems flawed, very flawed. Whether that is intentional or not still.
 
Re: Former U.N. Nuclear Weapons Inspector: "GW Bush should face criminal investigati

There is no credible evidence that President Bush launched the war with full knowledge that Iraq did not possess WMD and did not pose any threat to U.S. interests or allies. IMO, the subsequently-released Intelligence assessments showed no credible imminent threat. Subsequent reviews also found major Intelligence flaws. President Bush made a value judgment. No matter how erroneous, a bad decision by itself is not a war crime. There has to be a deliberate choice to launch a war with clear knowledge of the evidence under which a reasonable person would clearly not initiate such a conflict given that evidence. That test is not met. Therefore, Dr. ElBaradei's opinion notwithstanding, I do not expect any international war crimes investigation. History will judge the decision as flawed. It won't judge it as constituting a war crime.

I didn't support the war, because I think it was a reckless decision... People risked their lives and died for a BS war. Bush should have been more responsible with his "value judgments."

They may say SAY they stand for non violence, but the truth of the matter is that they spawned Hamas and Jamaat al-Islamiyya among others, and several international terrorists rose through their ranks.

They are just playing a good cop/bad cop routine where they are trying to fool naive westerners into thinking they are the good cop while their terrorists branches do the dirty work of he bad cop.
 
Re: Former U.N. Nuclear Weapons Inspector: "GW Bush should face criminal investigati

The only thing Bush is guilty of is believing faulty intelligence that told him what he wanted to hear. He wanted to hear the the nuclear weapons program was ongoing, so he did. He wanted to hear the there were stockpiles of WMDs, so he did.

As far as "war crimes," Rumsfeld should have been forced to resign after Abu Ghraib. That's about it.

I'd just like to know whose fault this miscalculation actually was... An investigation into the mishandling of the war is something all Americans should be demanding.

The war on terror, yes, but Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. That was bin ladin and his buddies, primarilly taught in Saudi mosques and financed by Saudi money. Bush Jr. went after Saddam because Saddam wanted Bush Sr. killed. He said so, I saw it on Tv, so it has to be true, right?

There were maybe frictions between El Baradei and the Bush administration in the past, but I doubt that El Baradei said that Bush should face criminal investigations when he was at the head of the AIEA (until 2009).

Or maybe they are just a large enough religious group to have crazy out croppings.

If not, than baptists should openly accept Westboro as one of their own.

I can agree with this... look at what our government has done to this country. Mind you, I am not ignoring the fact that many citizens and voters are their enablers.
 
Re: Former U.N. Nuclear Weapons Inspector: "GW Bush should face criminal investigati

I don't even know where to start with this... The ignorance surrounding this "debate", on both sides, is astounding. How sad that America, land of the free and home of the brave has morphed into land of the sound-byte media and home of the willfully ignorant.

Last time I checked enough people approved of President Bush to re-elect him. I call anything in between prima donna bull**** tactics. When asked the hard question we have heard the resounding answer.... the Bush administration (and the House and Senate) both handily won re-election...

Oh and btw.....The ones bitching about how bad the Bush administration's decisions were should take solace in the fact that Clinton was also re-elected for what many saw as four more years of complete BS. Sounds familiar...eh, dude

Don't be tedious. The REASONS for his assertions have been consistent since 2003. The Bush admin on the other hand has changed it's story... How many times?

Since the facts he's asserted from the beginning have been born out... Why would you need to have someone else draw that line of conclusion? Do you people not understand that such dangerous precedents of ignorant justifications can be used by any party in power?

Actually, I am not a pro Bush, far from that. It is just that Baradei knows that no international court will judge Bush one day or another. Of course I am not sure of what I claim, but I would not be surprised if Baradei said that to please the Egyptian public opinion.

Fair enough.. But I think the point is... It should. Hell... We should. What does it say about us as a self governed people that we don't hold our elected public servants accountable.

Sick and tired of the fake indignation and moral relativity based on party lines. Right is right. The rule of law is the rule of law.

We are a soverign country. We don't bow to America hating world opinion. Well, at least we didn't use to...With the liar n chief in office now who knows.....
