KUALA LUMPUR — Former U.S. President George W. Bush and British ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair have been found guilty at a mock tribunal in Malaysia for committing “crimes against peace” during the Iraq war.

The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal, part of an initiative by former Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohamad — a fierce critic of the Iraq war — found the former leaders guilty Tuesday after a four-day hearing.

“The Tribunal deliberated over the case and decided unanimously that the first accused George Bush and second accused Blair have been found guilty of crimes against peace,” the tribunal said in a statement.

“Unlawful use of force threatens the world to return to a state of lawlessness. The acts of the accused were unlawful.”






.
Mahathir, who stepped down in 2003 after 22 years in power, unveiled plans for the tribunal in 2007 just before he condemned Bush and Blair as “child killers” and “war criminals” at the launch of an annual anti-war conference.

A seven-member panel chaired by former Malaysian Federal Court judge Abdul Kadir Sulaiman presided over the trial, which began last Saturday, and both Bush and Blair were tried in absentia.

“The evidence showed that the drums of wars were being beaten long before the invasion. The accused in their own memoirs have admitted their own intention to invade Iraq regardless of international law,” it said.

The verdict is purely symbolic as the tribunal has no enforcement powers.

The tribunal is also expected to later hear torture and war crimes charges against seven others, including former U.S. Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld and former Vice-President Dick Cheney.

OK then, I will assert that my response was on topic. Also I will
say that I am against the inane verdict of the Kangaroo Court.
Furthermore I am against this ridiculous tribunal because they
and the (denial-of-)truthers sound just like Butters from South Park
in the aforementioned comedic clip!!!

laugh laugh laugh

Fortunately not everyone agrees with Eric Cartman. Just Butters
and the denial-of-Truthers and the radical Islamists and the
Kangaroo Court!

laugh

Finally I note that your big rebuttal and defense of the
obviously unjustified and dumb attempt to blame the 911 attacks
on President Bush instead of the radical Islamic terrorists who
were actually piloting the planes amounts to "calling me names".

It is amazing how people cling to stupid things like this.

Malaysia executes people for drug possession and somehow their court system is now the envy of the world over a non binding kangaroo decision..

I wonder if this court will try Obama for ordering drone strike assassinations.

For some reason I doubt it..

Its no wonder most of the world thinks americans are ignorant.

This is an international forum if y ou havent noticed and many of you make americans seem ignorant and stupified.

I for one am ashamed at my fellow americans.

While many suffer without healthcare or jobs or a future that is meaningfull they find the time to ridicule another country they know little or nothing of.

They are not the ones who started wars based on lies and killed and displaced millions of men woman and children.

Just so you know.


Healthcare in Malaysia is mainly under the responsibility of the government's Ministry of Health. Malaysia generally has an efficient and widespread system of health care, operating a two-tier health care system consisting of both a government-run universal healthcare system and a co-existing private healthcare system. Infant mortality rate – a standard in determining the overall efficiency of healthcare – in 2005 was 10, comparing favourably with the United States and western Europe. Life expectancy at birth in 2005 was 74 years.[1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Malaysia

It seems they have better healthcare than most of us.

me too.. especially when some keep posting false crap about our former president... from an article i read:


Now I know that a lot of people on the left — disappointed by his banker-friendly, PATRIOT Act-renewing, indefinite-detention-enabling, American-citizen-assassinating regime — are searching for any reason to vote for him, and plausible reason to defend his record. That’s the nature of tribal politics — “anti-war” Democrats will happily protest the Bush war machine, but they seem quiet when Obama is the one using drone strikes to assassinate American citizens without trial

When it comes to civil liberties, Obama has always talked a good game, and then acted more authoritarian than Bush. He talked about an end to the abuses of the Bush years and an open and transparent government, yet extended the Fourth-Amendment-shredding Patriot Act, empowered the TSA to produce naked body scans and engage in humiliatingly sexual pat-downs, signed indefinite detention of American citizens into law, claimed and exercised the power to assassinate American citizens without trial, and aggressively prosecuted whistleblowers. Under his watch the U.S. army even produced a document planning for the reeducation of political activists in internment camps. Reeducation camps? In America? And some on the left are still crowing that talking about being in favour of gay marriage makes him “pro-civil liberties”? Is this a joke?

Ignorant? I am not the one who ignored the question. You have a lot of contempt for ol' Jr., but the beloved liberal Obammy is chipping away hard at our constitution. So how's that "change" he promised working out for the Libs? Or are ya'll still too busy crowing about his ENTIRELY POLITICAL move to endorse gay marriage to notice?
