Talk to me when all those SS and NKVD murderers are brought to justice for their atrocities during WWII. I sincerely doubt Russia is pursuing "war crimes" indictments against those who perpetrated the Katyn forest massacre of 4,000 Polish patriots, nor the abuses committed in the Gulag.
Say, what was that fellow's name (er, terrorist) who was living in Baghdad and assasinated by Uncle Saddam's henchmen?!?

Damo writes-

"...and than ran a prison camp called 'Guantanamo' off shore which never mind the activities in the camp is still illegal against the Geneva Convention."

Once again, you don't know what you're talking about. The Geneva Convention applies only to prisoners of war of a recognized army. Read the provisions of Article 4 yourself.

I'm amazed that you insist that Bush is a "war criminal", while ignoring the atrocities committed by Saddam Hussein. Typical anti-American socialist blather.

Did I ever attack the US serviceman that followed orders from civis that hide behind desks? I don't believe I did.

Also you state that the Geneva Convention apllies only to recognised armies, so basically you are saying Iraq didn't have an army only trained terrorists, and the atrocities in Abu Gabi prison camp didn't happen and no US servicemen were sentenced.

And with this comment "I'm amazed that you insist that Bush is a "war criminal", while ignoring the atrocities committed by Saddam Hussein. Typical anti-American socialist blather." you are saying its alright to treat POWs badly as long as they did it first. Also since you believe I am anti-American socialist, I have to ask with arrogant comments like that, is it really such a wonder the world is turning against the USA.

Sea Demon says "Saddam did not live up to his agreements after the cease fire."

Oh so the US actually found Saddam's WMDs and links to Al Queda, I must have missed it.

Also after reading posts from a minority of Americans, I gather that any army/soldier that fights against USA is a terrorist. :hmm:

:rotfl: I am anti-American socialist, I shall remember that :rotfl:
