Dems to Pursue 'War Crimes' Charges Against Bush

Several top Democrats in Congress have indicated that they intend to pursue 'war crimes' charges against President Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney after they leave office.

Such a move would be highly politically motivated and terribly unwise.

Barack Obama has stated that he supports such an investigation--yet another factor that goes to his detriment.

We must remember that the mindset that demands Bush and Cheney be vilified as war criminals is the very same one that believes Harry Truman was a mass murderer for dropping 2 atomic bombs on Japan to end WWII in the Pacific.

Mort Kondracke, who has never been very much of a friend of the Bush administration, has a new article up at Jewish World Review entitled, 'Obama Should Say No to War Crimes Probes of Bush Team.'

It is well worth reading.

This sort of politically motivated prosecution will teach all politicians that the one thing they can never do is relinquish power.

There will be at most one more presidential election after a persecution like this. If the first president to do this doesn't wind up declaring himself president for life, the second one will, after he hangs his predecessor.

Even if Bush and Cheney really are as bad as the libtards think, we can't do this: it would mean the end of our ``democracy.''

Well, you know, Nels, that many among the libtards would be just happy as a lark about that...
