George W. Bush: War Criminal

Impeach Bush

Tonight, Bush once again used those who died a horrific death on 9/11 to justify his illegal invasion of Iraq for oil. The fact that Bush and Republicans have gone to this well of death and suffering one too many times is not news. The real news is the latest revelation to come from more Downing Street Memos; proving further that this is an illegal war. The Times of London reported on June 19th, that the US and Britain began bombing Iraq more than 6 months prior to the 'Shock and Awe' imperialist invasion. The Nation Magazine is also covering this story, reporting that while Congress was debating to give Bush authority to invade Iraq, and the UN weapons-inspection teams were searching for the elusive WMD's, "the Bush Administration was already in full combat mode."

On March 8, 2003, Bush stated in his radio address: "We are doing everything we can to avoid war in Iraq. But if Saddam Hussein does not disarm peacefully, he will be disarmed by force." The Pentagon carried out seventy-eight airstrikes against Iraq prior to October 11, 2002 - the date Congress authorized Bush to go to war against Iraq.

The self-proclaimed 'American Soldier' General Tommy Franks recalls in his book of the same proclamation that he 'rejected a call from Condoleezza Rice, then National Security Adviser, to cut the bombing patrols because he wanted to use them to make Iraq’s defenses “as weak as possible".' The allied commander refers to the attacks as “spikes of activity." These so-called 'spikes of activity' began 5 months prior to October 11, 2002! This would mean that the US and Britain were in violation of International Law, i.e. BUSH AND BLAIR ARE WAR CRIMINALS.

Some good news, CNN.com reported that Bush's 'disapproval' rating is at an all time high of 56%. So have a beer Dubya and celebrate....oops too late.

Too many pretzels
