Do you think Bush is a war criminal and should be tried as such.?

Question

Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 118 of United States code describes a war crime as any grave breach of the Geneva convention signed August 12, 1949. Part 4, Section 1, Article 147 Defines 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 present Convention: wilful killing, torture or inhuman treatment, including biological experiments, wilfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health, unlawful deportation or transfer or unlawful confinement of a protected person, compelling a protected person to serve in the forces of a hostile Power, or wilfully depriving a protected person of the rights of fair and regular trial prescribed in the present Convention, taking of hostages and extensive destruction and appropriation of property, not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly., ...and you cannot tell me The president had no knowledge of what was happing in the P.O.W. camps!

Answer 1

How can you say no? He has killed innocent little children and civilians AND killed all of YOUR fellow americans, for what? Oil? Money? Pride?
I think Bush should be put to jail for all of this because that is exactly what he is doing to Sadam Hussein...They are both one of a kind yet only one of them is getting trialed...

Answer 2

Since the United States is not signatory to the process of the World Court in the Hague this trial will never happen. It does look at this time that there was a reason not to sign this treaty. The given reason was that the US government did not want to see American soldiers tried in the World Court for war crimes.

Answer 3

No, he is not and should not be tried as a war criminal. You say that there's no way he could NOT have known what was happening in Abu Ghraib, when it's likely that he DIDN'T know. If it was a huge group of soldiers, rather than about ten, yes, he would have known about it. But you can't expect even the president to know what every single soldier is doing, all the time. If it is discovered that he not only condoned such a thing, but commanded it, then yes, he should be tried. But somehow I doubt that very highly. None of the soldiers I know have been given such a command, nor would they carry it out even if they were.

Answer 4

Bush is another Saddham Hussain! Saddham slaughtered Iraqis to stay safe in power - Bush slaughter Irqis for the sake of OIL!!!!
So the law has to look into the roll of Bush and his activities with Iraq.

Answer 5

he certinly went after the wrong country and now has no way to back out in his mind peacefully .like all those military guys could put down all the guns and help them rebuild iraq.JUST declare the war over and say well will help you fix the mess we made as long as you quit killing eachother and see if that will work .
