Six years now. Six years since the beginning of waging a pre-emptive invasion of another sovereign nation on trumped up, manufactured, and just plain false information, a Crime Against Humanity, a War Crime. Six years after the start of the greatest string of War Crimes humanity has seen since another nondescript failure at life found his true calling by invading Poland.
Well, if you don’t count Pol Pot or Stalin. Which I don’t, because even though they had a much higher actual body count than George Walker Bush, they didn’t invade another nation to do it. They killed MOSTLY their own people.
And heck George Walker Bush has only killed between 4000 and 5000 of his own people!
(And up to a million Iraqis, of course)
If, that is, you don’t count Katrina. Or the deaths to come in Iraq and Afghanistan. Or the way more hypothetical deaths to come from actively preventing any mitigation of Climate Crisis.
So really, as monstrous, consciousless, bloodthirsty War Criminals and torturers go….If we only go by the actual body count and torture victims….
George Walker Bush, War Criminal, (retired) former President of the United States…….just as with everything else he did in his miserable life…
Was not even very good at being a War Criminal, as these things are measured.
Heck if you go back into history, I doubt George Bush, former President of the United States and War Criminal, (retired) now living openly in Texas, even makes the War Criminal Top Ten List.
Failed Again, George.
(Historical Note: In the interest of fairness in his War Criminal rankings. It must be said that George Bush, former President of the United States and War Criminal, (retired) did start his string of Crimes Against Humanity before the invasion of Iraq. It appears he ordered his first episode of torture fairly early in his first term. ed)

that one goes to the afterlife that corresponds to the religious belief one held in life.
In which case…
not as up on other War Crimes as I should be. What is the treaty or act that defines the Iraq war as a War Crime? Or are you using it in more of a rhetorical way? Just curious.
I think the traditional gift for a 6th anniversary is iron. Are you thinkin’ of gettin’ some nice iron bars for Our President?
