Ok...let's go with that. Let's say it was illegal. He still won't spend a single day behind bars, or pay a fine. He has too many connections and too much power to be touched.

That ok with you is it? So these people can murder your father and mother and your sister and get away with it?The double standards that allow this are the reason young people have no respect for institutions anymore.

Of course he can get away with it legally....but that definitely wouldn't stop me taking revenge. Double standards are everywhere...it is life. People with power and connections can get away with much more than the average person....that is just the way it is, the way it has been and the way it will always be.

It was illegal. You learn the facts.

Bush Admin. sought information to tie Saddam to chemical weapons. There was no clear link although Yellow cake sales in nigeria were, according to a former Iraqi spy, said to be linked. Again he denied saying any of this a yr later.

This "evidence" confirmed by MI6, later accused of working directly for Blair who politicised the independance of their Security wing (much like Cheney did with the CIA), was then taken to the United Nations and then Congress.

Don't tell me to learn the facts, i know the facts. If you manufacture false information and then use that to convince the UN and congress that there is an "imminent threat" it is not their fault for believing it. It is your fault for lying.

That does not make it illegal.

Hell, even if congress new it, it's not illegal. If congress votes on a war, for whatever reasons, fabricated or not, it makes the war legal. Period.

You can go after bush for crimes against the state if you want to, but no matter what you find out what he said, it does not change that fact.

War is legalized when congress votes to go to war. Period, end of story.

This investigation isn't about the legality of the war, why are you guys talking about that?

because its fun

its relevent bcoz Iraq was the key strategic error that exposed everything else the bush administration did.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
