US Commie Says: G.W. Bush is a War Criminal
2004-04-25
by Bob Fitrakis
...For a President who took us into war under an illegal Nazi doctrine and sold it to the American people based on cooked intelligence information, would it not be the next step to simply plant the evidence he needs amidst the chaos of a disintegrating Iraq? With the illusion of Iraqi sovereignty fading and potential disaster looming with a premature turnover, Bush’s re-election bid may be based on his hitting another "trifecta": "capturing" Osama bin Laden, "trying" Saddam Hussein, and "finding" weapons of mass destruction. The recent alarmist talk about another terrorist attack prior to the election should be cause for great concern for an administration that conveniently ignored the overwhelming evidence of the Al Qaeda attack.

News services worldwide must stop the madness of George the Lesser, who was as ill-prepared to accept dynastic succession as the infamous Ethelred the Unready. Historians of the British monarchy suggest that the term “Unready” should be read as the archaic British term “redeless” meaning “without counsel.” Thus, Ethelred, like George the Lesser, made mistakes by impulsively pursuing action without wise counsel. Thankfully, the wisest of Bush’s former counsels are warning the people this election year. The people of the United States need to hear their warnings and constitute an international People’s Tribunal to try President Bush for the war crimes he is committing.
Napalm is the rhetoric of the killing class.

#11  All the Hitler comparisons are self-defeating. If GWB were truly as evil as these people like to believe, those who accuse him of such things would never be seen or heard from again.

#9  oops...Their fears of action drive them to refuge in an ethics so divorced from the politics of life that it can apply only to angels, not to men.

#6  I speculate that Bob Fitrakis know little of war and less of human suffering.

Allow me to quote Saul Alinsky, prominent sixties radical. In Rules for Radicals he writes:

They are the ones Jacques Maritanreferred to in his statement, " the fear of soiling ourselves by entering is not virtue, but a way of escaping virtue."
The most unethical of all means is the non-use of any means. It is this species of man who so vehemently and militantlyparticipated in the classically idealistic debate at the old League of Nation on the ethical differences between defensive and offensive weapons. Their fears of action drive them to refuge in an ethics so divorced from the politics of life that it can apply only to angels, not to men. The standards of judgment must be rooted in the why and wherefores of life as it is, not our wished for fantasy of the world as it should be.


Just stick to the romance novels and let men of action protect your culture. You have neither the brains, the experience not the guts to make a positive impact on the world.
