Prosecuting Bush for Murder

The article says that a candidate for Attorney General in Vermont is making a promise to constituents to bring charges against Bush for murder if she is elected. I don't understand exactly how she plans on doing so, but she claims the Vermont Attorney General has the power. Whatever. Shouldn't charges be brought against legislation over Bush?

This is another example of partisanship gone wild.

I think it's interesting, but I don't give a fuck about politics, so I don't care enough to add anything.

Well by her logic then I guess Tony Blair, the leaders of the nations involved in the coalition, the US congress who authorized the war, every person in the civilian sector who works for factories producing war goods, as well as Hussein, Bin Laden, and anyone somehow involved with anything that lead to a single death in Iraq ought to be prosecuted too. Oh yeah, might as well prosecute anyone who voted for Bush as well as anyone who voted for the senators in Congress too.

Or wait...even better...let's prosecute the entire fucking human race.

The want to prosecute him for lying about weapons of mass destruction, Hussein's supposed involvement with Iraq-Al Qaeda \ 911, and other issues in order to bring the US into war.  Those were blatant lies and everyone knows it.  That's a crime against the US people. Try not to blow this totally out of proportion by blaming everyone, D.  Blame the guy who actually committed the crime.

Nope Satanah. Can't do. It isn't just on Bush. First of all, it's not as if he fabricated the bogus intel entirely out of his head. So a portion of blame goes to the intelligence people for giving him the false intel. At the same time blame must also then go on any advisors and roosters in the pecking order as well. And since he cannot just march us off to war on his own initiative but get the approval of congress they too must be blamed. Especially since many members of congress are on various intelligence committees and such.

My point being, Bush alone didn't lie to America nor did he alone decide to invade Iraq. Sometimes it is important to see the bigger picture. Personally, my belief is he didn't lie. Oh he lied since the intelligence he was presented told him one thing that proved to be untrue. I feel this whole lie thing is simply a lie of unwitting omission and one which has many fathers, not just one.

Ok I see what you're saying.  We should blame the entire government and put them all in prison.  It looks like you and I finally agree on something political.

Stranger things have been known to happen.

The way I see it, this whole prosecute Bush thing is simple-minded finger pointing. Done by someone with a clear agenda. It appeals to the masses. "Yes! Blame him! Crucify him!" All the while they're not seeing the bigger picture.

If something does happen in the Middle East that we could have prevented through military occupation, their efforts will do nothing but cause him to become a martyr.

Bush didn't commit a crime. I already started a thread about this. Bush had a good reason to believe there were WMD's in Iraq. If anythingg, his advisors who told him that there might be WMD's should be accountable. You think any president should be held responsible for anything he does in office? He doesn't even get to make all of the decisions.

Also, the woman wants to charge him with murder not misinformation.

[Deadlight]

Good point.

But, it's all obvious she's just doing this for a particular agenda. And it's rather silly since he won't be in office anymore. When the next president is in office you'll see little about Bush. I predict whoever wins will be getting more of the same.

Bush is the most unpopular ever, but this in a time of rapidly growing idiocy.

[Deadlight]

History has a way of looking at past presidents without the bias of the times. 20 years from now it'll show a more unbiased view of his presidency. I've noticed that it takes at least 20 years for history to review leaders without media or partisan bias. It'll be able to reflect on his failures and successes in more honest manner. And you have to figure the bulk of his unpopularity stems from agenda driven media which has been liberal and democrat biased since the Clinton administration. That's not to say he's earned some of his unpopularity. But it seems from the very beginning the media has been out to get him. Thus, we will need history to get a better sense of him.

Can you guys go over some of the good things that Bush has done for this country?
