U.S. Delaying Iraqi Executions?Posted on Nov 11, 2007
For the first time in George W. Bush political life, a Bush government is trying not to have someone executed, or so it seems. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has accused the U.S. of stalling the executions of three prominent prisoners, one of whom might have been in cahoots with the CIA during Saddam Hussein’s reign. To further complicate matters, the Iraqi presidential council is supposed to approve all executions, but two of its three members have raised objections.

He signed death warrants as Governor of Texas to help him steal the presidency. He killed in Afghanistan to fool us into believing that he was actually going to get Osams Bin Missing. He killed in Iraq in settle old scores,steal oil, set up a puppet government,and make billions for his friends and cronies. Now the man who signed death warrants as if the were autographs in Texas, and is responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people, wants to spare a few bad guys in order to keep the fisasco he created from getting worse. Bush needs to be tried as a war criminal by the world court. If that were to happen, I.m sure we would see Bush suffer the same well deserved fate that was given to Saddam.

That would be the one in which Saddam used chemical weapons that the United States and allies provided at a mighty tidy profit. That profit, made from Iraq only after Reagan removed it from the Terrorist Nations list so that American weapons companies could sell (among other things) advanced chemical and biological agents to a madman, and turn a hefty profit in the process. That would also be the one where HW urged the Kurds to revolt, then abandoned them to Saddam’s tender mercies. You know, the mercies that had him gassing the Kurds with US made chemical weapons! The middle east has been a bonanza for American weapons manufacturers, from the days of selling weapons to both sides in the Iran/Iraq war, to destroying Iraq and then rebuilding it, then destroying it again, then rebuilding again! How cool is that?! God, do we have the high ground here or what???? Add Your Comment |
