After all, that's exactly what you wanted when Bush resumed a war in Iraq (yes, "resumed", since a ceasefire had been in place since 1991, contingent on certain terms which Hussein...Saddam, not Barack...grossly violated).
You called it (and still do) an "illegal war of aggression", didn't you? (Yes, you did...and do).
What you never bothered doing, though, is to define "illegal". How, exactly, was the return to hostilities in Iraq an "illegal" act? It was sanctioned by the UN (not that that matters). It was even sanctioned by the United States Congress, who is tasked to declare war. (Article 1, Section 8).
So why aren't you Liberals filing war crime charges against Obama? He hasn't obtained Congressional approval for this action. In his own words, he admits this, suggesting, instead, that he "consulted Congress" on the matter (which, BTW, Barney Frank contradicts).
As I recall, you also included on the Bush list of "war crimes" the incident at the Abu Ghraib prison. Concluding that Bush, as the Commander-in-Chief of the military, was ultimately responsible for the actions of his troops.
Well, if that is the case, again: where are the calls for a war crimes commission for Obama? It was revealed that soldiers under HIS command murdered civilians, then took pictures posing with the dead.
I know that those calls will never happen, because your beloved Obama can do no wrong (as far as you are concerned). Bush, on the other hand, could do no right...again, as far as YOU are concerned.
Intellectual honesty..........not so much.
Hirota: out.
