+1 for that yeah they should

I think Bush should be impeached for lying to the whole world, and Rumsfeld should be charged with war crimes. Oh, and do they have a charge against poor public speaking? Because I think Bush should be charged with that too...(Obviously, just kidding. I'm sure I'll get rated down for this.) Bush and Rumsfeld screwed up big time, and Bush thinks he can but a 21,000-man band-aid on the wound. But they've already killed thousands of our soldiers...
-
This is the best question so far. Not only Bush and Rumsfeld, but the other fools also ... Blair, Howard and a few others. I am so sick of their lies and deceit ... put them in Quantanimo Bay without trial ...
-
No. I think Donald Rumsfeld should be charged with something, but definitely not war crimes. President Bush on the other hand, I think has done nothing wrong (other than being a moron). I believe he has genuinely tried to make Iraq a more civilized country with a Democratic system. Rumsfeld has been involved in a lot of shady crap for hmmm,...lets say since Reagan was in office. So lets definitely get something done with him.
-
Yes, as well as Dick(head) Cheney. 700,000 innocent people have died because of their actions, more than half by soldiers directly at their command. For Rumsfeld, I believe an appropriate punishment would be coma-by-octopus, while Bush could get away with spending the rest of his life locked in a glass cage naked, filled with mud and a horny monkey. Dick Cheney should be turned into a human puppet, complete with strings and everything. In the end, he should just get shot in the face.
-
Definately. And dont forget Blair
-
Yes. I also think Cheney should be included. Bush is just the talking head of a larger group that has been around causing problems in the world since the 70s when Rumsfeld and Cheney were in the Nixon Administration. But, he is the President and the buck stops there. I also believe that Condi Rice is complicit in these atrocities, as she has fulfilled her duty to lie to and coral other nations to our "cause".
-
Yes! When their lies mean the death of so many people it IS a crime. They knew they were lying and attacked anyone that tried to point to the truth. Clinton was impeached for a lie that effected no one other than himself and his marrage, but he did it under oath, note that Bush and Cheney refused to testify under oath to the 9/11 commission... wonder why.
-
Yes I bloody well do!! The number of charges alone should be enough to keep them both in jail under they die and make the world a much safer place.
-
Hell, yes. "To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime, it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." - Judgment of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg 1946, relating to "Count Two, the Crime of Aggression," as brought against Herman Goering, Joachim von Ribbentrop, and 14 other defenda
-
I think that both Bush and Rumsfeld need to held directly accountable for (i)lying about the situation in Iraq (ii)repeated military blunders (iii)Allegations of torture and ill-treatment and the infamous policy on renditions. However, it is very easy to place all the blame on the United States and its President and Secretaries when the rest of the world refused to properly object and decided instead to all support the coalition in its blunders. Almost every world leader is in someway responsible.
-
No. Enough time has been wasted avoiding dealing with the nations problems by the last congress. And the congress before that. This congress needs to get to work on attempting to solve the nations problems. Not some useless waste of time on another diversion.
-
Yes
-
No, they did what they thought was the best cause of action at the time.
-
I'd have to withhold final judgment until I saw all the evidence, but I think Rumsfeld is very likely guilty of war crimes as relating to interrogation techniques and also rules of engagement regarding civilians. Bush is probably not technically guilty of war crimes. He's probably too isolated and remote from the dirty work for anything to stick from a legal standpoint.
-
Listen. I am not a supporter of either Bush or Rumsfeld. However, if you look at history and we charged Bush and Rumsfeld with war crimes we would have to charge every president with the same charges. Look at John F. Kennedy. He is immortialized in American society for being a great leader/president. However, one could make the argument that he was the one who made the idiot decision to call for more troops to enter Vietnam. I mean...i truly think that Bush is trying to do whats best for this country. its not his fault he's an idiot its our fault that our country voted for him.
-
It's not so much "war crimes" as it is violations of the Constitution. Bush is guilty of lying to Congress about the reasons for going to war with Iraq (an impeachable offense). He gave permission for the warrantless wiretapping of American citizens and admitted it (an impeachable offense). He authorized secret prison camps and is aware of the torture of prisoners. His signing of the Military Commissions Act is a direct violation of his oath of office. Impeachment is the only way to deal with Bush.
-
I think the entire team should go. Bush should be impeached. (There is some sh*t we wont eat).
-
They should be and add Cheney and a few others could be added from many countries not just the USA.These people seem to be above the law of the masses so probably be never charged.
-
F.Y.I. It is not The President(Bush) who can declare war, it is congress who declares war. Also if we did not go to war with Iraq, do you think there would have not been war? If you do think that you are sadly mistaken. If we did not stand up for the thousands of people who died on 911, then what would that show…that we did not care. If we did not go to war over in Iraq, then right now it would only be news of war to the Iraqis and every day life for us. So NO I do not think Bush or Rumsfeld should be charged with war crimes.
-
If Saddam is murdered in such a cold blooded way, surely its only fair that the bulk of the Bush Administration should be approached with a similar punishment? Theres nothing moral in leading a country to the brink of ruin and killing it's people to find and kill one man? If you could refrain from marking me down..! Opinions, opinions.
-
obviously only lefty liberals get points. And think they know all the answers, Oh wait they have no answers! Only accusations and conspiracy Theories................
-
I think Bush should be impeached for lying through his damn teeth to the American people and for being such a bad president. I want to see his whole cabinet from top to bottom get reamed for treason. They're also nothing but a bunch of incompetents and liars. And I want to see every member of Congress who voted for Iraq and then deserted our troops get treason. They are all to blame for this mess. And they all have blood on their hands both American and Iraqi.We should have left it alone until we had Afghanistan all settled before we went marching anywhere else. Now the damn Taliban is gaining power again. We should have waited till someone else started attacking us before we went anywhere. By the way I'm a conservative independent who refused to vote for any of the canidates last time because I thought they were both trash. And it looks like I will be leaving the spot for president blank again in 2008. Unless someone can convince Colline Powell to run.
-
yes i do , and a few more world leaders along with them . with more charges thrown in .
-
If Bush and Rumsfeld are guilty of lieing to us, so is every other person in government in our country and the world who said Saddam had weapons of Mass Destruction. Bush and Rumsfeld were not the only ones saying that. We also have the fact that Saddam broke 17 UN resolutions, including preventing the UN Inspectors from doing there job. Why would he do that? Why would you risk war, bribe government officials with free oil, if you didnt have weapons? Regardless of where you look, if you are really looking for the truth, and not just re-affirmation of what you already believe, the answer is, Bush should not be impeached.
-
It only takes one word, " absolutely "
-
I think there should at least be an inquiry into it. We were told there was evidence of WMD, but ive yet to see any of it other that hear say. Present the evidence if its not there, they went to war on false pretense. The UN needs to be looked at too, they said no you can tgo to war without evidense but the US, UK and AUS did anyway. The UN sould be imposing sanctions on our countries for our actions against the UN...But that will never happen because the US really funds the bulk of the UN
-
Yes, a thousand times yes. Add Cheney and a few others who've created this tragedy. They should all be standing in the dock in the Hague, NOW.
-
yes definately.
-
No, I dont, and I think Bush is a good president. And I aint ashamed to say so.
-
Yes of course. The president should have been impeached a LONG time ago after his stupid lies since we are losing soldiers by the handful and its ridiculous! How about Bush go out there and fight for his country, would he do it then or back out like the coward he is?
-
What crime have they committed?
-
I don't think that he should be tried personlly and alone, I think the entire administration around him should be heavily investigated and have the hammer brought severely down on everyone else who had much greater personal parts in the starting of afformentioned illegal wars than President Bush did. Bush, although he was in a position of power, and did play a major part in the misdeeds of his administration, he was far from being the "Mastermind" behind them. So yes, I think he should be tried, along with Cheney, Rice, and any other cabinet member who allowed/instigated those things to happen under their power.
-
Yes and the sooner the better!
-
Over two million people have voted in the referendum to Impeach Bush (impeachbush.org) Rep. Dennis Kucinich has introduced articles of impeachment on the floor of the House of Representatives against George W. Bush. He presented a 35-count indictment. This is the first step.
-
None, nada...sad to say.
-
YES.
-
Ha ha ha...nothing I would want more...but NO! Zero!
-
Slim to none. They have too many connections. It will never happen.
-
Absolutely! And sent to Guantanamo for a taste of their own medicine
-
I'm afraid this is one triumvirate of stooges which looks like it might literally "get away with murder"...and perjury, profiteering, tampering with evidence, religious and racial discrimination, political firings, negligent leadership...
-
Negligible. All his papers will be sealed, so there will be no "evidence". Plus once he's gone no one will care. Congress and the new administration will have their hands full cleaning up his mess...
