At best a PR stunt at this point---but precisely the kind of PR Rummy deserves.

And this one will basically boil down to a kids playground taut---"you and whose army will make me."

But Rummy may live to see the day when he is hauled before the Hague as an international war criminal. Along with GWB and Cheney---and quite a few lower level people.

US co-operation in their prosecution may be the simple cost the international community will demand as a down payment on the internationl communitity efforts to bail us out of the mess we are creating in Iraq.---and given the rate the Iraqi situation is going from bad to worse---it may well be a price the US will cheerfully pay when the facts come out.

Not saying it will play out that way---just saying that its a non-zero probability we may face after they are out of office.--- after 2009---or sooner if by impeachment.

There are many hidden facts just waiting their times to surface.---and uneasy should rest the heads of those that did the deeds.

I will continue to call him out about it. If he wants to make assumptions and assertions about me, he better have some solid evidence to back his statements up.

Simple facts . . . if the actions of Rumsfeld, Tenet, Gonzalez, Ashcroft, Yoo, Addington, et al violated a treaty or showed clear disregard for basic human rights . . . they deserve to prosecuted.

There's no such thing as rules for the 'bad' guys and rules for the 'good' guys.

We didnt join the "world court?" for a reason and this is a perfect example of it.
Our troops and political figures would be hauled into court for purely politcal reasons.
I've tried educating you in the past . . . to no avail.

The US neither signed nor ratified the treaty for the ICC. Only 100 countries ratified the treaty. The USA has such illustrious company as Iran, Iraq, Cuba, Angola, Uzbekistan, Russia, and Haiti.

But . . . here's the kicker . . . you ever heard of the Geneva Conventions? Signed and ratified by the USA. Reading is fundamental

Let's not even get started with extraordinary renditions. Those violate international law, our law, and usually the laws of countries from which people were snatched.

This is purely political, hence the reason behind my response. To think otherwise requires a long stretch of the imagination which you have clearly shown here and in the past.

If it isnt political, why not bring charges against the people who have actually been convicted in a military court for the crimes?

Either way the Germans have no way to actually enforce any decision made within their country in ours. Again this goes back to the political nature of these types of proceedings and the reason why we rightfully didnt join the ICC.

Hey Dave,

Get that evidence that Rumsfeld and friends are my heros yet?

The fact you stick up for them is enough "evidence" for me.

Where, in fact, did I "stick up for them"?

I called your thread title misleading and inaccurate. I don't follow your leap of logic from calling you out about what is definately inaccurate thread title to defending them.

Edit: Haha, I see you changed the thread title now. The way you're covering up your original thread title must mean Bush is your hero. See, I can make moronic leaps of logic too!

You called it "justified" that implies you are defending "your" heroes, sorry I call it like I see it.

Ugh, He wasn't charged w/ war crimes. Civil groups can't file criminal charges. They filed a suit requesting prosecutors file criminal charges.

OK, I'll add a poll if charges will be filed based on this.

Because that justifies your misleading and inaccurate title?


Where in that set of statements did I defend or justify Rumsfeld and friends?

mannn, I REALLY cant wait to see Dave make a speech in his '08 campaign... I'm just wondering which coffee shop he'll be visiting in my area!

Have you planned that far out D? Do you have your tour dates for Fairfax, VA? Please let me know when you do, and, if I'm in the country at the time, I'll swing by for a good laugh!

First of all speeches are for career Politicians of which I am not.

I will speak when I have to but not for your personal benefit especially since I already know I can not count on your vote and support.

Don't fret because there is plenty of career Politicians in the race for you to hear their speeches so you will be sure to get your fill of bilge.

It depends on the issue....except Rove, I generally can't stand any & all political spinmasters (be they the Carville or Rove)
