1. Wow, thats a pretty big deal. Now what country will be the first

to arrest one of these two criminals.

[qb]

2. I hope they are successful in their bid to have the case forwarded to a more prominent setting.

3. Too bad we can't look back. n/t

4. Francis Boyle: "We will continue our efforts to [...] put them in jail"

Transcribed from Boyle's comments:

Bush and Blair are found guilty under the same law that applied to the Nazis after the end of World War II. So they are international criminals, guilty of Nuremburg crimes against peace, and they should be prosecuted by any state in the world that gets ahold of them. And we will continue our efforts to bring Bush and Blair to justice and put them in jail.

-Francis Boyle

17. The sound of justice demanded is sweet

I love Francis Boyle.

5. Who can a bounty hunter turn them in to?

There's a lot of vets out there with good training, no chance to use it, and unpaid medical bills.

6. Just the tip of the treasonous war crimes ice berg...

There is a boat load that should be prosecuted.

7. More like an AIRCRAFT CARRIER load! n/t

26. more like a wtc full.

8. Ballsy.

The drones are on their way.

13. Take a look at this and related KOS diaries

There was a diary on the rec list that says that says "Bush, Blair, Found Guilty of War Crimes". It then proceeds to quote the Iranian regime propaganda organ Press TV about some "war crimes tribunal".

That "war crimes tribunal" turned out to be a meaningless meeting of notorious truthers and antisemites. There was no actual tribunal and no trial.

And Press TV is a propaganda piece of trash that claims that Jews harvest organs.

It would be great to see some real indictments, but these aren't.

[ooglymoogly]

24. -1 for propaganda....nwat

[Denzil_DC]

31. Gratuitously insulting bullshit

Did you actually read any of the KOS threads (since I'll bet this video being posted here originated via KOS)? Can you refute the evidence that this was a worthless "tribunal" drawing together some pretty unsavory actors? Nope, didn't think so.

Like I said, I'd love to see some REAL indictments. Your implicit support for antisemites and the propaganda arm of the Iranian government just because this "tribunal" came up with a "verdict" most of us would like to see makes your comment pathetic.

10. BIG K&R

I pray for the day they are behind bars.

K&R

:kick:

[Amonester]

11. K & R

Operation Iraq Liberation (of its OIL for capitalist $hell).

Illegal war of agression to get a resource for capitalist (now fascist) speculators portfolio.

Will the ICC take notice, or are the judges there corrupt now?

[provis99]

14. Bush and Blair merely carried out the will of the voters.

Indict the countries, not just the top two leaders.

[AsahinaKimi]

15. I didn't vote for this.. I don't know anyone on DU who did..

As for whether or not Bush was voted Legally into office, I don't buy that argument either. One election was given to them by the Supreme Court, the other was stolen.

[peace13]

16. One thing is true, every American has blood on their hands.

We have seen that the people here can rise up and speak when things get tough enough for them. Contrary to you thoughts, some of us were on the streets for over five years here saying no Iraq war, no surge, bring the troops home. We live with the shame now!

[santamargarita]

23. Bush Stole both elections - the will of the Supreme Court maybe

[on point]

18. I suggest extraordinary rendition to bring the criminals to justice

Yes, let's see another country kidnap Bush and Blair from their home countries, tie them up, hood them, transport them to another country and then put them on trial. Both Bush and Blair think this is perfectly alright when applied to others, I think this crowd should have fear of it themselves.

Of course if they won't admit their guilt, I'm sure a little 'enhanced' interrogation will soon get the truth

[peacetalksforall]

19. I always thought that Bush was the face man, the front man, the man that

right wing followers loved to love. I just wish Cheney and Rumsfeld could have been included.

I don't think Bush was ever a PNAC member - Bush followed their direction and they allowed him some decisions.

I hope they are added if there is ever a trial.

Has Obama spoken yet?

[CarrieLynne]

20. Oh please oh please oh please oh please....

[swilton]

21. Maybe this will dillute

Blair's zest for prancing around Europe and the Middle East under the illusion that he's trying to be the honest broker between Israel and the Palestinians.

[vminfla]

22. Childish

A "war crime tribunal" confers with the judgement pre-determined. This has the same credibility and relevance as a Junior United Nations. This does a great disservice to legitimate claims of genocide as it dilutes the meaning to the point of irrelevance.

[ooglymoogly]

25. Eyes wide shut. nwat

[vminfla]

28. Agreed

This "war crimes tribunal" had their eyes wide shut. Short on specific, criminal charges, they relied on hyperbole and innuendo. No doubt the discredited Lancet study with its 6 figure casualty count was cited as "Evidence".

[ooglymoogly]

29. It is your post hat has its eyes wide shut. nwat

[G_j]

30. aggressive war in itself is a war crime.

Just for starters

[orbitalman]

27. K & R x 1000 n/t
