As to the rest of your comments, we are not fighting this war to win, the ROE we have placed on our Military are akin to trying to fight with both arms and 1 leg tired behind your back, a Hannibal Lector mask over your teeth, a butter knife and a .22lr with 2 rounds in your arms kit. We are not fighting it to win we are fighting it kinder and gentiler, P.C. style and thats not how you win a fucking war. Then we announce to the world (aka enemy ) when we will be dragging up. Now they know all they have to do is wait it out.

As to the war crimes shit, these people would think rubbing your dogs nose into the turd you caught him laying on your new carpet is a war crime..... Product of the world wide progressive movement/agenda


edit: I was/am not a Bush fanboi BUT he was far and away better than what we have. Under bush we were going down this same road, all though much much slower.

I am pretty Sure Stevie Harper (our Prime Minister) is about the last guy in the western world that is going to try to put the Cuffs on Dubbya. frankly, when he was president, he did kind of scare the shit out of me in some ways, now that he's gone, he didnt seem so bad in alot of ways, besides, the guy is comical.

to me threats of arresting him if he stepped on to the soil of another country is just so much saber rattling, I mean, what would the Swiss do with him? really?

and as far as legality, "war crimes" and such are concerned, what would have been the outcome if the information "team western world" needed had not been extracted in any way nesessary? I understand it is a slippery slope, but is it not reasonable to fight a war to win?

he did have to cancel his trip to switzerland because the government there made it very clear he would be arrested as soon as he landed.

this is what I was going to say

as the left in america and around the world realize their agenda and views are being eroded by history and commen sense, their vitriol becomes more and more strident.
they're backed into a corner with little room to wiggle, and more and more people here and abroad are seeing thier policies fail. the left is losing their power politically, and they're not happy about it, so they call names, arrest presidents etc.

imho

I seem to remember a time when Amnesty Int'nl wasnt retarded, jesus, we even used to learn about / support them in Public school...

OTTAWA - Amnesty International wants the federal government to arrest former U.S. president George W. Bush when he visits British Columbia next week.
The rights body said both Canadian and international law require Canada to detain Bush and investigate him for war crimes and torture.
"It is incumbent upon Canadian officials to investigate, arrest and prosecute former president Bush for torture when he arrives in Canada a week tomorrow," said Alex Neve, Amnesty Canada's secretary general.
Bush and former president Bill Clinton are scheduled to attend an economic conference in Surrey, B.C. next week.
Neve said many will argue that arresting Bush is unrealistic because the United States is a close and powerful ally or that the crisis after 9-11 required extraordinary measures.
"None of those arguments justify inaction under international law," he said.
Neve conceded that arresting a former president would likely cause tension with the United States, but "taking a principled step merits that sort of strain."
Neve said Bush admitted in his memoirs that he authorized the use of torture against terror suspects.
American authorities used a variety of torture methods, including water boarding, beatings and sleep deprivation, Neve said. The Bush administration used euphemisms such as "enhanced interrogation techniques," but these methods constituted torture.
"All of this was authorized and condoned and put in place through his own repeated decisions."
Neve said the international arm of Amnesty sent a lengthy brief to Justice Minister Rob Nicholson outlining the government's responsibilities under international law and urging him to act.
"This is something the entire global movement stands behind," Neve said.
Nicholson's office did not respond to a call for comment on Amnesty's demand.

this will NEVER happen BTW, but honestly when did every orginization on earth becone so polarized on EVERY topic?

Also, in a time of war, when Survival and the greater good merits it, I understand the need to go "Above and Beyond" asking nicely. Lets face it, the enemy isn't playing fair.

Discus?
