Even if Clinton is guilty of what GWB is now doing. (1) Its a matter of degree, what Clinton did rarely and under strict personal control GWB does routinely and in an out of control manner.
(2) Harvey has already said he would favor the trial of anyone doing this sort of treasonous activity and alchemize is using Clinton as a deflection and saying only Clinton should be prosecuted.

Its not hard to figure out which holds the moral high ground.

To clarify what I mean, in the debate between Harvey and alchemize, its clear which poster holds the moral high ground. While both Clinton and Bush may be guilty of various forms of international war crimes, no one suggests either Harvey or alchemise are involved in any way.

But as a lesser crime, dishonest argument and double standards are what lead to the justification of larger crimes. And if we as a people permit our leaders to engage in criminal actions, then we are in a sense, involved in the commission of those crimes.

And in fact after WW2, a number of people were hanged by the neck until dead dead dead, not for what they personally did, or even directly ordered, but for what they failed to stop when they were provably told of the crimes of their subordinates who then went on to continue to commit more war crimes. The Geneva convention is quite clear on this subject that both are equally guilty. And the same principles are in our laws also.

I certainly never said only Clinton should be prosecuted, in fact I never said either should or should not be prosecuted. I was merely pointing out what a Partisan Hack Harvey is.

Of course, leave it to a partisan hack like you to read more into it, and then annoint me with your "lower moral ground" award. Here, you can have it back, I wiped my ass with it.

If that was your intent, you're a dismal failure. Tell us how you didn't pick one sentence, out of context, from one of my posts from 2005 and claim it showed exactly the opposite of what I said in the entire post. Show us where you haven't lied continuously and consistantly to pimp for your TRAITOR IN CHIEF and his criminal cabal.

I believe that makes YOU the hack, Jack. :cookie: :cookie: :cookie:
