S. is a signatory to the Hague convention, yet at cases ( like refusing handy over the Nazi rocket scientists who based NASA) they have not cooperated with the courts orders. Bush and Cheney could have few places to stay and bypass to. Mexico and Canada might additionally arrest Bush and Cheney in the event that they stepped into their international locations.

I'm not a huge Bush fan, but why keep expending energy here , instead of working toward some reasonable solutions which benefit America , Iraq , & the World?

Answer 5

5 1/2 years since 9-11, no terrorist attacks in the US. The only reason Congress and the media say such things is because they know they're weak when it comes to national security...
