Tony Blair Faces War Crimes Accusations - Are Obama And Holder Taking Aim At Bush/Cheney?
David Horowitz's NewsRealBlog.com ^ | January 27, 2010 | John L. Work

A twisted drama is playing out in England. The Chilcot Inquiry into the legality or illegality of Britain’s entry into the Iraq War grows uglier by the day. The words “War Criminal” and “War Crimes” are being waved about by Members of Parliament, anti-war activists and British journalists, all directed at former Prime Minister Tony Blair. Blair is scheduled to take the witness stand on Friday.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) always waits just across the English Channel in The Netherlands.

Members of the Obama administration must certainly be following this Inquiry very closely, especially Attorney General Eric Holder’s Office. It is no secret that Holder and the American Left relish the prospect of prosecuting the Bush Administration for its actions in the waging of war in Iraq. The European Left, hand in hand with Islam, wants retribution for England’s role in that war. If Blair ends up on trial at The Hague for War Crimes, how long can it be...

Hard to believe even Obama is stupid and arrogant enough to allow Holder to pull something like this.

Holder is insane enough to try it - left to his own treasonous lunatic anti-American devices.

I would guess that Obama is all for it, although he would want to keep his support quiet.

Many folks don't like the idea of the Iraq war, but war crimes? Talk about clueless leftists. There could be BIG TROUBLE if anyone in the current administration tries to have War Crimes Trials against George Bush, or others...

And, in the immediate term, one ought to try to find a place for asylum for Blair & his family if it is needed.

I guess in turn the next republican President will need to prosecute Obama for waging war in Iraq and Afghanistan...

Someone please explain why Obama and Holder let the terrorists go/give them American citizen’s rights?

And prosecute our troops and probably go after Bush/Cheney etc...

Islam taken over, and we just won’t admit it?

This could start a Civil War right here if pushed.

If Holder or anyone else tried to put an American President on trial for destroying Saddam Hussein, they had better be ready to fight in the streets of Washington.

IF this were to happen, the whole shebang will collapse. All the rules will change, and you’ll see some massive upheaval. Personally, despite the grumblings and rants of a few leftist nutjobs, I don’t think that it will happen. Even Obama knows he’d be raising the stakes so high that he would, ultimately, be placing himself in serious jeopardy.

If they pursue charges against Bush/Cheney, I will be the one that fires the first shot in retaliation.

Let Jack Squat pursue such, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching his implosion and will enjoy watching it implode further if he goes down this route or is found to be connected in any way with such a route.

RIGHT NOW FRED AND GERRY THOMPSON ARE YUCKING IT UP ON NEIL CAVUTO’S SHOW. TALK ABOUT WEAKENING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, OLE FRED VOTED TO DELETE THE GO P’S CONTRACT WITH AMERICA, DISSING THE PARTY’S CONSERVATIVES. WHY FOX NEWS GIVES SO MUCH AIR TIME TO THE MAN WHO MADE SURE MCCAIN/FEINGOLD WAS PASSED IS BEYOND ME. (THANK HEAVEN THE SCOTUS JUST PRONOUNCED IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL.) THEY PUT HIM UP AGAINST OBAMA BECAUSE OF HIS ‘STAR QUALITIES’, BUT HE DROPPED OUT A FEW DAYS AFTER DL HUNTER THREW IN THE TOWEL. THE ONE WORLDERS WERE IN CHARGE DURING THE CLINTON ANDBUSH YEARS. AND THEY ARE IN CHARGE NOW. I THINK THEY WOULD GAIN NOTHING BY CRIMINALIZING BUSH/CHENEY.

Obama would have two motives: He hates the English, and he hates Bush.

But the Brits are doing this on their own. So, why should obama pitch in? I would expect him to just sit there and watch.
