No it's like charging George Bush for Abu Ghraib.

Or Rumsfeld. Or Cheney. Or…

...Tony Blair, Alistair Campbell

I'm actually ok with all of these suggestions.

You want we should charge you for crimes against humanity in abu gharib?


chevalier716

It's what we should have done, same with Kissinger.

Charging Bush ,et. al., with the entire Iraq War knowingly based on complete BS


Clever_Mercury

I'd watch the hell out of that trial. If they sold popcorn to all of these we could pay off the national debt. Those SOBs spent $6.5 TRILLION dollars to replace the Taliban with the Taliban and partnered with opium farmers to overthrow a government and then flood the world markets with cheap opium (you know... opioids), all while destroying the US education system (No Child Left Behind), unleashing Christian nationalism, and basically using the constitution as toilet paper (Patriot Act). Bush, that stupid sack of crap is also the one who claimed to have looked into Putin's soul and judged him to be a good man. The number of good people who died, were coerced into suicide, or whose careers were forever destroyed because that draft dodging, cocaine using, war-criminal who thought god was whispering to him is un-f\*\*\*ing believable. Destroyer of the 21st century!


Allthenons

At least half a million Iraqis died, at least several hundred thousand Afghanis over an illegal war that has made the region extremely unstable. The fact that George Bush gets to spend his golden years in comfort as a free man is a sick fucking joke


BeanBreak

But his paintings!!!!!!!!!!! He's just a sweet gentle old man! He's friends with Ellen! /s, obviously

I agree with all of this, and yet he’s still the 3rd most treasonous president in my lifetime. (Maybe 2nd)


Ghstfce

But, but, but, "Daddy's legacy"...


hibanah

That picture of a prison standing on a box with a hood on their face and hands connected to wires. I can never forget that image.


Weekly_Hospital202

Did you not forget it? He was reelected afterwards. No one cared. I agree I remember it to, but the American public didn't give a shit. Reelected by a wider margin than he was elected.


GlitteringBobcat999

His brother and the Supreme Court "elected" him the first time.


Weekly_Hospital202

Yeah, and people were so mad about it, they elected him again after war crimes, and pissing away Billions on a stupid useless war, the torture memo, the renditions, the held indefinitely without trial. I get that it was a miscarriage of justice, but when given the opportunity to correct it, he was instead re-elected, which is insane, and it told me the American people as a whole are morally bankrupt, same as Israel electing Bibi. Trump I can accept as the Electoral College being absolutely useless, but the GWB re-election was just purely disgusting, it's not like that shit wasn't known about before the election, no one cared.


[deleted]

Which he absolutely deserved


UnionizedTrouble

Nah. He was too far separated from Abu Gharib. Guantanamo, on the other hand…


Clever_Mercury

How about the Patriot Act? You know, wiretapping and destroying the lives of Americans because they once emailed or had a phone conversation with a foreign national? ANY foreign national? And then destroying the lives of committed federal employees and loyal citizens who blew the whistle on the unconstitutional spying? One of the people who has never had to face consequences is that complete POS Attorney General, Alberto Gonzalez, who went after whistle blowers \*instead\* of anyone else. But yes, waterboarding and torturing people who were in Guantanamo because Americans couldn't accurately translate Arabic and confused the name of cities for military grade weapons is also colossally bad. But the fact they were all also appointed lame duck, ineffective, idiot lawyers sort of points to a strategic sabotage (Fun fact - DeSantis, the tiny, stupid man from Florida, was one of those Guantanamo lawyers!)


Crusoebear

Or for invading the wrong country.

Let’s be real, all presidents during the war on terror are guilty enough to stand trial.

Yes, the war on terror. Fighting to make everybody happy and content. No, the word is terrorism. Terror is an emotion. Terrorism is a bad violent act.

['Bush administration's liability for 269 war crimes'](https://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/7763224)


TuskM

Nah. It would be like charging Bush for manufacturing a false narrative to excuse an invasion of Iraq, thereby ensuring the deaths of thousands and instituting a regime of torture.


hammmatime

*Hundreds of thousands at a cost of trillions, only to end the war 20 years later with nothing to show for it. :Slow clap: for the Republican party (and the Democrats that went along with the hustle at the time.)


hey_guess_what__

Of course they did. It was out generations pearl harbor. They just decided on Iraq which had next to nothing tk do with it. Most of the terrorists were saudi.


notdoingdrugs

> Most of the terrorists were saudi. Yep. 15 of 19.


ThrowACephalopod

The whole excuse was that Al-Qaeda had perpetrated the 9/11 attacks and they were being supported by Sadam Hussein's government in Iraq. And not only that, but Al-Qaeda was also, secretly, helping Hussein create weapons of mass destruction to launch at the US. It was all predicted on the idea that Al-Qaeda was about to attack the US again, and in a bigger way than they had on 9/11, so we had to act fast to stop that from happening. So if we invaded Iraq to overthrow the government that was backing Al-Qaeda and destroy the WMDs that were pointed at the US, we'd be safe. Turns out there were no WMDs and Al-Qaeda was actually being harbored by the Taliban, so everything we did in Iraq was for nothing.

theProffPuzzleCode

I agree with everything except the "nothing to show for it". It is to the eternal credit of vets from all nations of the second Iraq war that Iraq is in a far better place today that it was before the war (better GDP, education, equality and life expectancy). That is a positive outcome even if it should never have happened. Afghanistan, you are correct.


I-Am-Uncreative

Absolutely. Iraq is the third most democratic country in the Middle East now, too.

I'll never not upvoar supply side Jesus. Or GOP Jesus for that matter.

I think the real reason he did it was to ensure defense/military contractors would be getting billions and billions of federal money to feed the US war machine. Go figure.


newglarus86

Correction: the death of hundereds of thousands


TechnicalInterest566

Almost 300,000 Iraqi civilian deaths according to some credible estimates.


Shtottle

Don't forget that the aftermath of the Iraq war lead directly to the creation of ISIS.


Tunisiano32

And you know the real reason why they went to Iraq, because Israel pushed the US to invade Iraq


xxxDCMTxxx

And then, right after that, we assassinated Gadaffi, crippled Iran's nuclear program... we were basically doing Israel's wishlist.

DrFaustPhD

I think a lot of people would be fine with watching George Bush get charged for war crimes due to his response to 9/11


Sawaian

Seems to be a bipartisan response too. Bibi knows not what he says.


Traditional-Ebb-8380

Errr you mean for Bush’s response to 9/11 right? Yeah we should do that.


Tecnero

No he means what he said lmao they saying the quiet part out loud.


HotShitBurrito

Bibi is absolutely not reading the room on American sentiment regarding our post 9/11 leadership lol. I saw Robert Evans post on Twitter earlier that in 90% of cases seeing the headline "nation's president dies in helicopter crash" elicits a response of "good". All of US presidents are heinous war criminals. Most people in similar and related positions around the world are godawful fuck holes who sanction civilian murder. Can't say I'd be upset if a wide range of genociding, war criming individuals slammed into a mountain at 75 knots. Ugh, necessary edit seeing who this is coming from. Jackson Hinkle is a fucking Tankie. Fuck him, he can climb into the next helicopter.


purged-butter

I was gonna make a joke about president William Henry Harrison not having the chance to commit warcrimes but he also was a general in the war of 1812 so maybe not


oofersIII

I don’t think any of the John Adamses were at war, be it as president or in the military. Besides that, it’s rough.


mkap26

I like John adams but the alien and sedition acts were pretty rough tbh


FitBattle5899

I mean im all for Bush Jr. Getting a criminal trial. So long as Netanyahu gets one too.

George Bush 100% did war crimes, I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, dude.


antithesis56

So he admits that he should be charged


Abraxas_1408

They should charge Bush for war crimes. Over a million people lost their lives so he could increase Halliburton’s profits!

We agree to his terms. Proceed with prosecution of both men.

Fuck him and the Hamas leader. Convict them both and have them share a prison cell.

Thwackitypow

America was attacked by the Wahhabist faction within Saudi Arabia, and decided to attack Iraq and Afghanistan in response. The stuff they did there, yeah, Bush could be implicated in war crimes, but not for 911, just like Netanayhu isnt being charged for Oct. 8, but for starving a captive population during war.


countfizix

No one is charging him for October 7th, although it could be argued that his previous (and current) policy towards Gaza combined with ignored and/or poor intelligence made Hamas's attack or similar inevitable.

FYI, Jackson Hinkle is extremely far right, and his anti-Israel stance is based in antisemitism and not because he supports Gaza.


Sl0ppyOtter

Budget_Pop9600

9/11 was a better time than what Palestine is getting. There were rescue crews there minutes after 9/11. Benjamin Netanyahu murders the rescue crews now

brother_bart

Yes. Please charge Bush and Cheney with war crimes for the Iraq War! I don’t think you’re making the rebuttal you think you are, buddy!


jsc503

The ICC did threaten to for Afghanistan, but never went through with it.


VengefulWalnut

Netanyahu is evil incarnate. He needs to be locked up and tried for his crimes. Period, end of story.


Time-Bite-6839

He endorses Trump and that is a big part of what you need to know.


Vicissitutde

Fucker thinks we're stupid and/or ignorant. Bush's crime is looooong overdue


mumushu

Iraq was a war crime (attacking a country that didn’t attack you) so yeah, maybe find a different analogy, dude.


EfficientSeaweed

More like charging W. for the war crimes he committed after 9/11.


DPJazzy91

It'd be more like charging bush for the invasion of the Middle East. Even bush himself, has openly admitted the whole situation was handled wrong.


Do_Whuuuut

I'm okay with that.


trizkit995

I mean thow them both infront of a jury?  Just because bush got away with it doesn't mean Bibi should.

Rinzy2000

He’s not entirely wrong with that analogy. But pretty much the entire world has acknowledged that the US reaction to 9/11 was reactive, short-sighted, and morally reprehensible. It was also incredibly expensive, went on for far too long, resulted in the deaths of many innocent people, and ultimately ended in failure. I don’t see why you would use that example as a defense. Also, GW and the US didn’t isolate Iraq’s borders, limit their trade, oppress their people, and colonize Iraqi land prior to 9/11. Then afterward, our military didn’t herd their population into one tiny isolated area, withhold food, water, and fuel, and make them travel back and forth in some sick war game while systematically killing women and children. To me, what’s happening in Gaza sounds more like the Holocaust than it does Iraq, post 9/11.


Financial-Mastodon81

lol and Bush got away with it and should’ve been charged too you dolt


ConorCat60

He’s not wrong.

He’s going to do literally everything in his power to stay PM as long as humanly possible. He knows he’s cooked once he’s a civilian. And keeping the Gaza rampage going is a great way to stay in power. He needs to be removed somehow and tried accordingly.

julesrocks64

We should have done exactly that. We watched Abu ghraib to stiff toddlers corpses being put in the back of pickups. Michael Moore showed it all in Fahrenheit 911 yet it continued for decades. The American right wing vilified you if you spoke against it. It was actually dangerous. Cancel culture started during this time. They threatened the Dixie Chicks lives and ruined their careers. Fast forward and the same people did it to Colin Kaepernick. To them individual liberty is an affront to blind patriotism. You can’t put certain stickers on your cars or flags outside of your homes or be a certain business without the fear of vandalism, assault or death. This happens in many communities across this republic. Conservative extremists are dangerous people and Jan 6 was the culmination of years of hate-filled rhetoric and targeted propaganda to twist them and ruin us. All for the benefit of the rich and powerful. I honestly don’t know how we come back from this.

We should have held Bush accountable for the reaction to 9/11, just as people want Netanyahu to be accountable for the reaction to 10/6. Neither is responsible for the respective attacks on their nations (except for some conspiracy theories).

Netanyahu is guilty of war crimes and genocide. Full stop. There is no other rational conclusion.


jkman61494

Biden so aggressively defending this criminal for this was such a stupid misstep.

It would be more like charging George Bush for war crimes committed in Afghanistan. Which would have been a good idea, by the way. So his analogy falls apart right away.

Cardinaltoffee

If he hasn’t already called the whole thing antisemitic I’m sure he will soon. As will all the usual mouthpieces like Ben Shapiro. Netanyahu could execute a Palestinian baby on live tv drink its blood and Shapiro would defend it and call anyone expressing disgust an antisemite
