What war crimes has Bush committed?

Question

I get so tired of hearing all this "Bush should be tried for war crimes" garbage. Especially when nobody can state any specific law he has broken. So, if you think he is a war criminal, tell me the specific crime he has commited, I want SPECIFICS. Sections, title codes, etc. I want to see some evidence, too. Simply doing something you don't agree with is not a crime. Every president does that.

braniac --

Started a war based on intelligence he was given.

Wiretapping allowed under Patriot Act.
Preemptive war is legal in cases of clear and present danger, which he truly believed we were in.

"Enemy combatants" could legally be given quick military tribunals and executed.

Answer 1

His crime is that he pisses off the liberals. They can't stand it that they lost the election. So they make lots of noise whining. Hey liberals, can you hear the tiny violin playing your tune?

Answer 2

Well Don't we sound like a typical Republican fascist, I'm guessing that you idolize Ann Coulter don't you well for your information as far as I'm concerned the so called enemy combatants are prisoners of war, with that being said, According to Title 18, part 1, chapter 118 of United States code, War crimes are described as any grave breach of the Geneva convention of August of 1949. in Chapter 9 Article 50 of the Geneva convention describes a grave breach as, "Grave breaches to which the preceding Article relates shall be those involving any of the following acts, if committed against persons or property protected by the Convention: willful killing, torture or inhuman treatment, including biological experiments, willfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health, and extensive destruction and appropriation of property, not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly." Geeee all sounds alot like the things that have been going on at getmo. and abu.. And no one will ever convince me that GW didn't at least know about these things, hence hes a war criminal. and I wont even go into the crimes hes committed in the stealing the elections two times and lying to the nation and the world about Iraq.

Answer 3

The Supreme Court Of the United States just decided a few days ago that the United States was obligated to follow Art. 3 of the Geneva Convention which spells out the rules in which Prisoner's of War are entitled to as a right.

It is public knowledge that Bush rewrote or had rewritten parts of the Military Hand Book that spells out the treatment of Prisons of War. Bush and Company took out, ignored or reinterpret legal limits to protect prisoners of War. Those were the changes in our law that lead to the abuse and torture of prisoners in Abu Graib and other prison run by the United States Government.

He and his Administration have yet to be formally charged with breaking the Law. But that may happen in the near future. This is just one law that was broken.

Did you read in the last few days about how Iraqi females were treated at The Abu Graib Prison. This information came out at the same time as the pictures on the men's side came out, but they were withheld for fear of angering many Middle Easterners and Midwesterners, if you get my drift. Check out the Alternative Press.

Bush and Company broke the law in more than a couple of ways. More than a couple of dozen prisoners were somehow killed during interrogation in our prisons.

Answer 4

Wiretapping without a warrant isn't in the the patriot act. Bush can't be tried for a war crime, and h avn't heard him asked to be tried for one (he did start a pre0emptive based on lies though, if that counts). However, he did violate the constituion. The 4th amendment states:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

We have the right to be secure in our houses, a wiretap without probable cause and a specific warrant, violates the American Constitution. Theres my 2 cents for ya.

Answer 5

I guess you are unaware of the fact that we used cluster bombs which tend to leave behind a few unexploded bomb-lets which are bright yellow and very attractive to children, many of which ultimately did go off in small hands. second, we used armor piercing rounds that employed radioactive pellets. as a live round they are safe to handle because the pellets are encased in lead, the dense mass of the pellets is what penetrates the armor, leaving behind low levels of radiation. these weapons have been condemned by almost every civilized country on the planet. additionally, they were used by Georgie's daddy and the WHO has acknowledged that there has been an increase in birth defects in Iraq since we were there. how about total disregard for the Geneva convention in regards to the prisoners of war in Gitmo (not "enemy combatants", that's just a platitude to allow us to act uncivilized).
Just because GWB has his head up his butt doesn't mean you have to mimic him.

Answer 6

He has defended this country after we were attacked. He has broken no laws. In a time of war you are going to piss off the Liberals because they want to see the U.S. turned into a third world country.

Answer 7

George Bush has not broken any laws. He just keeps winning and that upsets his critics and the New York Times. Read Ann Coulter's Godless, she explains it all very well.

Answer 8

Brainiac's answers don't look too brainy....in fact it seems moronic. You're not going to get any specifics from the Bush-haters because there are none. They're just envious because their idol was the first impeached president, and Bush is untouchable.

Answer 9

Ann Coulter as a reference source? That's like using Charles Manson as a character witness!

Answer 10

acceptable as rapidly as they attempt Clinton for Rape. acceptable as rapidly as they attempt obamas acorn for helping to herald 13 year previous illegals to be sex slaves. acceptable as rapidly as they be sure NAMBLA is a group of man or woman adult adult males molesting boys. That stuff is so plenty better trouble-free than Bush and Cheney lies that you're reporting. You forgot to point that Bush grew to develop into accurate right into a draft dodger and that Cheney grew to develop into into under no circumstances interior the service. acceptable after the racist authorities, attouney time-honored, FBI, position of starting place safe practices etc, will prosecute blacks for crimes on whites. Asamat the position precisely is Your cave?
