  Yes, Obama three days in and already a war criminal. Let’s hope it doesn’t take so long to put him and his cronies on trial. These people have to stop.

Kuala LumpWHO?

Ya’ll would do best to continue waving your tourism banner and keep your collective (and ignorant) nose out out of places where you have no idea what you’re talking about…

      I am a proud and patrotic junior officer of the US military (USMC) and what you just said is so mindnumbingly offensive as to defy explanation. Whether or not Bush is guilty of these charges is the question at hand.
      
      YOU are a MAJOR reason why people keep shooting at us.
      
      I suppose it’s a good thing you don’t have to face down the outrage simpletons like you induce. ‘Cause that would be my job. Sir.

        And proud and patriotic officers are the third reason why people keep on shooting at you. The second reasons are your politicians, corrupted to the bone marrow. People like Mikey help them to grab power. All it takes is a nice suit with a cowboy hat, a big show and a nice patriotic talk, which they forget as soon as they are in office. Then those politicians send proud and patriotic officers and proud and patriotic soldiers to other people’s countries in the interest of humanity (=petrol, ore…) and democracy (=more petrol, ore…). There you kill whatever moves in sight, maim thousands who happened to be around, create mess comparable to Berlin at the end of WW II with the Red Army looting what didn’t burn down and then you wonder how comes that no one loves you.

  The fact that you do not know where Kuala Lumpur is proves you are an idiot and so does your misspelling of “y’all” – they are ALL war criminals and should be tried as such. If you commit murder, you should pay for your crime, regardless of your title or how much money you have.

Mr Am Erican,
Do you believe that evidence that has been in the public arena for years now (and not just in the United States) leaves people in Kuala Lumpur “ignorant”? Are they ignorannt by virtue of not being “American”? Or are you just one of those boring people who go on and on about American exceptionalism? So sorry, didn’t mean to ask the same question twice. I must be VERY ignorant.

Would you have liked Pinochet to live next door to you, because the rest of the world, by virtue of being “the rest” is definitively ignorant and should therefore ignore crimes against humanity? Maybe you and Augusto would have gotten on well. Maybe he’s fun to have a beer with, no matter how many people he killed.

Well bless the Malaysians for having the courage to be the first to take this long overdue step. I have been calling out to the virtual community on multiple web sites as well as my friends in private for this to happen while the Bush administration was still in power.

People told me I was crazy, it was unprecedented and it could never happen. Finally a law professor in France came out and said the same thing in the international press and I felt vindicated for about ten minutes. Nothing could improve the stature of the United States as a democracy and a just nation around the globe, but especially in the Middle East and South Asia. These war criminals do not represent the views of myself and millions of other Americans. I have been to Kuala Lumpur and toured the country. My hat goes off to you.

I’ll give you guys a hint. AE911 truth is the second layer of the 911 cover up. Keep researching, the answer is available and if you research your little butts off you’ll find it. And by the way, it ain’t pretty.

Long overdue! It is unfortunate that our Commander in Chief didn’t have the courage to go after Bush and company. Especially after his speech that no one is above the law, and those who broke the law would be held accountable.

Good. At least someone has sense. G.W. was the first president to make me feel ashamed to be an American. We are no better than al-Qaida if we think torture is a viable option. A “confession” obtained by torture is not a confession.

I knew it. I had heard it mentioned on the mainstream media. I think it was MSNBC or CNN. It was just a fly-by- nighter, catch it if you can announcement, and then I’m sure the cable news editors and managers told them NOT to say it again!! You know somebodys head probably rolled for it even being announced in the first place!! You know they’ve got to keep old former President Bush, the white man, looking as good as possible!! Even though the truth has come out of what happened!! However, they are allowed to do whatever they want to do to “lynch” the black man, the actual sitting President of the United States!! He should have gone right in and pressed charges against those clowns in the first place!! I bet we wouldn’t be hearing half the BS we’ve been hearing against Obama right now!! The rest of the haters would be keeping their mouths shut, hoping not to get implicated themselves!! Oh, they’d all be working so nicely with the President and everything he’s doing or trying to do would have been just fine. Oh, everything would’ve been what the nation needed!! He wouldn’t have been able to do ANYTHING wrong!! They are a bunch of racist cowards. The media are instigators and should be censured. If they didn’t keep this much controversy and vitriol going on when those three stooges Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld was sending us down this rabbit-hole, they should shut their mouths up on ANYTHING this President does to try to bring us up out of the hole!!

They just should have used Neutron weapons on Afghanistan and Iraq and went on and cleaned it up and repopulate the region.
