Evidence for Prosecuting Bush for War Crimes

~

Bush was guilty of committing the basic war crime of aggression.

That included the waging, threatening, planning and preparing for wars of aggression in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

It's also illegal to aid rebels in a civil war and to produce propaganda for a war, notes Paul J. Balles.

Following the antics of George W. Bush during his eight-year presidency was something of a roller-coaster ride at times.

Believing that it was right to invade Afghanistan after 9/11 to locate, capture and prosecute Osama bin Laden made sense.

However, that sensibility went downhill when it seemed the coalition forces weren’t even looking for bin Laden.

At other times, Bush’s arrogant aggressiveness in foreign policy was simply disgusting, leading me to write numerous articles critical of his foreign policy.

There was no doubt in my mind that Bush was a war criminal. Now, a notable scholar has written a great book giving credence to what I simply believed.

In the Bush administration, the US lost its traditional respect for the rule of law. In his book George W. Bush, War Criminal, Michael Haas makes the case for prosecuting Bush for 269 war crimes.
