Could George Bush be executed for treason?

Question

If I remember correctly, isn't execution the penalty for treason as defined in the constitution? If Bush lied about Iraq buying missles from Africa in order to go to war and put our country at risk, wouldn't this be considered treason? Isn't it proven that he lied because of the Scooter Libby trial?

Answer 1

The ignorance spread by many and believed by even more is incredible, particularly when everyone was there when it all happened, and somehow forgot the chain of events, so lets have a little refresher course.

To begin with the war in Iraq is The War on Terror. Remember when 9/11 happened and the US just about unanimously stood up and said that's enough, we will go to war with Terrorism, which includes all terrorist organizations and the nations who aid and harbor them. Well guess what, Saddam was one of the largest perpetrators of the crime, not only being a nation of terrorism, but also harboring, aiding, financing, and training some of the worlds largest terrorists networks. That alone was reason enough to take Saddam out at the knees. Continuing on, it was a well known FACT that Iraq was in violation of not only one UN post-war resolution, but 14 of them, again, on its own, reason enough to take out Saddam. Must we forget that a great majority of the violations included but were not limited to Saddam's insistence on becoming a nuclear power, and building an arsenal, of not only just any weapon, but Bio and nuclear weaponry. If you remember the UN even said Saddam was in violation of this well before even 9/11 happened and even after the fact, just before the US went in and demolished Saddam's reign of terror and tyranny on not only Iraq's neighbors, but alos Iraq's people.

So did Bush lie?? NO, the information he was working from was the same information that every nation around the world was working on, all collected by several seperate intelligence agencies, including the UN, UK, French, Russia, China, Japan, Germany, Austrailia, US, and so on.

I am assuming that because you are old enough to believe the tripe you continue to spew, you must be old enough to have been there through most of the recent occurances surrounding the war on terror. Which means that you couldn't have possibly of missed out on the real events going on around you, you must have either forgot what really happened, or decided that your political affiliations and beliefes don't really work unless you continue to believe the misinformation the media and the anit-Bush contingencies(usually one in the same) impress upon you on a daily occurence.

Answer 2

I don't think so. You won't even impeach him.

asmul8ed -- should take a refresher course or else, like Bush, he is being wrong on purpose.

In no way, even by Bush, was Iraq or Saddam implicated by anyone in 9/11.
Bush and buddies claimed, falsely, that Iraq harboured WMD (weapons of mass destruction). He also claimed that the American troops would be met by cheering crowds and finish up their business in two weeks.

There were UN investigators in Iraq at the time and were advised to get out. They were making progress and there was no indication of WMD nor nuclear facilities. Saddam had been offered nuclear capabilities by Khan of Pakistan but refused. The people that were in violation also of the UN were the US and its allies. There were no evidence of chemical weapons development any more in Iraq. At the time that chemicals had been used against the Kurds and Iran troops the US was giving Saddan full backing with advisers on the ground and satellite recognizance.

The information that was relied upon was that that Bush used as the other countries information, in no way, backed the US information. Even the CIA claimed it was not accurate.

I suppose that this information will be refused by you and I am really wasting my time giving the real events as they happened. Not even Bush was as confused as you are.

I believe President George W. Bush's decision to initiate war in Iraq will be the greatest and most costly blunder in American history - Republican Rep. Paul Findley

FBI Director Robert Mueller, in a speech at the Commonwealth Club on April 19, 2002, said: "In our investigation, we have not uncovered a single piece of paper - either here in the United States, or in the treasure trove of information that has turned up in Afghanistan and elsewhere - that mentioned any aspect of the September 11 plot." - The evidence against Bin Laden, promised by Secretary of State Colin Powell on September 23, 2001, has yet to be made available to the public.


Despite the efforts to focus on Saddam's desires and intentions, the bottom line is Iraq did not have either weapon stockpiles or active production capabilities at the time of the war," Rockefeller said in a press release.

Answer 3

Treason is explicitly defined in the Constitution. Only aiding and abetting the enemies of the United States is considered treason.

Besides, the treason law is useless. It was proven useless when the US government refused to arrest and execute Jane Fonda for her role in aiding the NVA.

Answer 4

First someone has to be convicted of treason, as defined in the Constitution. Obviously, you have no idea what that definition is. And you are advocating a physical threat to the President of the United States, which is taken very seriously by the Secret Service and the FBI, both of which will be notified of this question of yours.

Answer 5

If he is so will the majority of congress that gave him the authority to invade Iraq when they OVERWHELMINGLY passed public law 107-243 in October of 2002.

Answer 6

Only in my dreams :-) The worst punishment possible would probably be impeachment or being taken to the Hague to be tried for crimes against humanity. The Europeans don't have capital punishment, so imprisonment would be the most he could get.... and that's probably not going to happen. Unfortunately.

Answer 7

Missiles from Africa??? Where did you get that? It was enriched uranium. And, no, the Libby trial proved that Scooter lied. At least get your "facts" straight.

P.S. And learn to spell "missiles".

Answer 8

Hanoi Jane Fonda has not been executed for her part in the killings and torture of American GI's during the vietnam war, so I don't think George has a problem.

Answer 9

the way things are , your granny could be executed for treason.

Answer 10

No mam, the history will ''execute''him for stupidity.It's a shame
America is a great country, and deserve a better president.
