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.
