U.K. Ambassador Details Rush to Iraq WarPosted on Nov 26, 2009The former U.K. ambassador to the U.S. has publicly admitted something of a truism: The plans to invade Iraq did not give time to U.N. weapons inspectors to do their job, and coalition forces “found [themselves] scrabbling for the smoking gun.” —JCL

Bush,Cheney,Blair,Rice,Rumsfeld,Wolofitz,Feith,and Pearle. These folks are war criminals and should be be arrested and tried as such. Just like the Nazis were brought to trial,so should the Bush Administration. But we as Americans just wish to move on, to forget about it. To sweep it under the rug like that slavery thing we did for 240 years. How about the family members of the 4600 soldiers that died. Should they forget about it? How about the 30,000 soldiers that lost arms,legs and are permanently disfigured, should they forget about it? How about the soldiers suffering from Post Tramatic Stress Disorder, and other mental health issues, should they forget about it? What about the suicides,the rapes, the killing of innocent people? Should we and they forget about it? Bush, Cheney and the rest of the war criminals will attempt to rewrite history through memoirs while collecting millions, for creating the biggest financial disaster in American history,along with the single most violation of human rights and crimes against humanity since we dropped atomic bombs in Japan. If America were true to its word, Bush and his administration would be rounded up just like the deck of fifty two that were rounded up following our unlawful invasion of Iraq.
Report thisLet them receive the same justice in America that was given the deck of 52 in Bagdad.

The value system that guided the German Minister of Defense, comrade Jung, in deciding that the facts, of the misadventure of having the amerikanski AirForce bomb the gasoline tankers, were of no interest to him, is an observable thread. About four years back, an alleged American made a related comment, “- of course there will be casualties.” The thread is traceable to their forebares of the early 1900s. The thread permeates some groups more thickly than others. An elderly, former resident of the East Zone told me Spring 2008, “Doc, the indigenous leaders (politicians in the East Zone) treated us worse than the Russians.” Where the Russians left off, fanatics among the German folk took over.
The “Ministerium für Staatssicherheit der DDR” (STASI), indigenous Germans, expanded where the Russians left off. That STASI-types “disappeared” more or less, with the reunification of the East Zone, raises unanswered questions. Obviously, all NAZI-types did not emigrate to the US via Operation Paperclip, 1945, and subsequent continuations.
The current, chief administrator of the state-owned ZDF broadcasting system, has been quasi-fired. Politicians of the “UNION” parties, which released him, hinted too much “interference” in politics. This pattern in Germany began three years ago, when the N-TV broadcasting system became partners with CNN. The transparency of N-TV news was immediately shifted to dated films and videos that distracted from current events.
The slow and subtle take-over of public broadcasting in Germany suggests a takeover as happened years ago in the USA. The modern progeny of NAZI and STASI types who remained in Germany, are becoming increasingly active, furtively. Their tactic is to scapegoat Neo-Nazi groups, while taking control of public media. A Goebbels propaganda tactic, transferred 1945 to the US, now a “round robin” back to the Federal Republic of Germany. Two months ago, an alleged “White House” release stated, “The White House controls the news media.” How pathetically accurate. And which is now being spread, back to the Federal Republic of Germany.

Bush, Cheney, Blair, Rice, Rumsfeld, Powell, Wolofitz, Pearlen Feith. These are a few of the war criminals who should be on trial for crimes against humanity.
Report thisJust like the Deck of 52 they went after, we know where to find these war criminals. The American people know they are war criminals. They just wish it could all go away like that slavery thing we did for 240 years. No accountability just go away, sweep it under the rug. Maybe don’t talk about it, then maybe we’ll forget about it. Maybe for us, but what about the family members of the 4600 soldiers that died. What about the 30,000 soldiers missing arms,legs and are permanently disfigured. What suffering from mental health issues or Post Tramatic Stress Syndrome are they suppose to forget about it also? What about the children growing up without a parent or never knew their parent. I guess they are suppose to forget about it also. What about the fail marriages, the suicides, the rapes, the torture, the killing of innocent life? Are all of those folks suppose to forget about it? While all of these folks who ruined so many lives to satisfy their egos, greed and lust for revenge continue to live their carefree lives? The Nazis had to pay. Now its time for the Bush Administration to pay. Instead of them writing menoirs making millions, they should be on trial if America is a true and just Country. Let the nooses hang in America the same way we hung them in Bagdad.

The USA has made a habit of using a pretext to war. From the Alamo (Mexican-American War), to the Maine )Spanish-American War), to the Gulf of Tonkin incident (Vietnam War), to WMDs (Iraq War). There may be others, but I believe I’ve mentioned the important ones. I suspect there will be others in the future.

During the presidential campaigning in 2000, G.W.Bush(it)stated in my local newspaper, before all the editing and censorship that followed the stolen elections when news was still allowed to be reported,that his TOP PRIORITY WAS WAR WITH IRAQ!
We see that he kept that promise after his illegal taking of the position of POTUS, not once but twice. How convenient that this warmonger was handed a position of power to corrupt it so totally just to secure his worth as a man in his own little and petty vengeful mind. If he really had any balls, G.W. would have enlisted for active duty and be on the front lines of his illegal war instead of hiding in his “safety bunker.”
And this so called self righteous religious scumbucket told well over 900 lies to get America involved in his illegal war so he could feel all warm and fuzzy just thinking of all the destruction he ordered in the name of greed and false revenge.
Hey, didn’t his God claim to have said, “revenge is mine, sayeth the Lord?” Then why did G.W. feel that it was up to him to lie is into his illegal wars? Or does/did G.W. think he was God too?

Did the bin Laden family of the Saudi sheikdom sell
out Moslemdom to the Bush-NAZI/false-zionist
leadership of the USA? Which of the chief US NAZI-
types decided that Moslems needed the NAZI brand of
“democracy,” most recently removed from the East Zone
of Germany in 1989. In my book, the Russian leader,
Mikhail Gorbachev and German leader Hans Dietrich
Genscher are heroes. Not to be disregarded are top-
level, German politicians who tried to buy the
“Ossie” vote at DM 100 per adult head.
Misuse of US military to implement genocide in order
to acquire oil properties, coveted by a handful of US
oil-empirists for their pipeline, intended to thwart
Russian interests, is simply not kosher. As are NONE
of the related plans and goals! And misusing the name
of the bin-Laden family as a scape-goat to hide
behind? Usama bin Laden was on his deathbed when 9-11
occurred and has been dead for more than seven years!
Propaganda is no problem for a sub-division that has
falsified family histories, passports and related
public documents for thousands of NAZIs and secretive
agents since 1944. Take the falsified death of Otto
Skorzeny in Spain, 1975, with cremation. Only the
Almighty can call together the grains of a cremation
into a likeness. And, Who is NOT subject to order by
NAZI-types in the US. Or Israel. Or anywhere.
The thread of human greed is traceable to folk who
continue to insist that the Almighty is wrong, and
that they continue to be “God´s chosen.” More
recently, also the NAZI, who recognize essentially
only themselves and to an extent, those who lend them
support. That the veil of the temple was “rent in
twain,” destroying the former covenant, documented by
israeli prophets and “journalists” cannot be denied.
Impossible to overlook, is the fact that years are
noted as BC or AD, historically documented.
Moslemdom can scarcely defend itself when under
Report thisattack by zillion-dollar, NAZI-US-scientist-designed
weaponry. Especially, when Moslemdom did not intend
to make war. When did any of the Moslem lands either
attempt to or even threaten to attack the US? They
were too busy carrying out the mandates of GHW
BushSr., collecting and spending bribe monies.
Conversely, israeli leadership attacked the USS
Liberty and the USS Cole, without US reciprocation.
In addition, family Bush donated “the bomb” to them?

It behooves all decent and honorable Americans at this time to consider the
need for our own enquiry into the Iraq invasion as well as Afghanistan and the
actions of the GWB and selected individuals within the observations made by US.

Tribunal in 1945. ”
“To initiate a war of aggression is the supreme international crime differing
only from other crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of
the whole…. [ we the USA ] are not prepared to lay down a rule of criminal
conduct against others which we would not be willing to have invoked against
us.”

countries?

One of the people giving evidence to this inquiry said that he had a conversation with Paul Wolfowitz in 1988 where Wolfowitz said that the United States should invade Southern Iraq and “seize the oilfields”, overthrowing Saddam in the process, but the main thing was seizing the oilfields. But who doesn’t already know that? It will still be a good thing if the facts come out but it won’t be news to anyone who has been paying attention for the last 9 years. The plan to invade Iraq was decades old and 9/11 was just the fig leaf to cover what was, in effect, murder and theft.
