Canadian Protesters Demand George W. Bush’s Arrest
The Blaze ^ | Oct. 21, 2011 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Posted on 10/21/2011 4:32:17 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

About 200 Canadian protesters gathered to demand George W. Bush’s arrest Thursday when the former president attended an economic forum near Vancouver, Canada’s CTV reported.

Protesters repeated familiar cries, calling Bush a “war criminal” and accusing him of torture. They linked arms outside the forum site and chanted to the watching police officers: “Do your job and enforce the law!”

Demonstrators shouted “shame” as Bush came and went from the summit, which was also attended by former President Bill Clinton. The duration of the forum passed without incident, though that didn’t put a damper on protester theatrics, some of whom were dressed in orange Guantanamo Bay jumpsuits or covered in fake blood.

Others wore Halloween masks of Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, according to CTV.

Another demonstrator waved a single shoe in the air, a reference to the 2008 incident where an Iraqi journalist threw his shoe at Bush as a sign of disrespect.

“I find it atrocious that our mayor would bring a war criminal into our city,” student Karsten Cattrell told French news service AFP, referring to Surrey mayor Dianne Watts who organized the conference.

Last week, Amnesty International called for Canadian authorities to arrest Bush if he entered the country and either prosecute him or extradite him for war crimes.

Not even Canada gets involved in this kind of hippie jihad.

There is not enough rope in Canada and the US to string up the many involved in this countries destruction.

If they believe in this so much, why don’t they go make a citizen’s arrest?

It’s not like the US government would do anything about it. :)

I can’t imagine the Pentagon sitting on their hands if Bush were arrested.

If they’re mad at W for torturing a couple of the enemy, they must really be p!ssed at Obama for killing several of them.

It’s a scary thought but there may come a time when our politicians are treated like Kaddafy. Of course, we true patriots will do everything we can to stop it.

Which begs the question, what would you do if a group of OWS took one of our leaders and were planning on stringing him up and the feds were nowhere to be found.

“I stick my neck out for nobody”. There is no one currently in office for whom I’d risk my life. If this offends I regret it, but there it is.

They ain't messin' with Texas. They saw the video of W in Chile retrieving his Secret Service agent and want no part of that.

To be fair, we exported a lot of nuts to Canada in the sixties.

If Bush followed the Onbama model he would have just killed those terrorists with missles fired from drones instead of waterboarding them.

Then the Canadians, and all the limp-wristed Europeans would love Bush as they love Obama.

Why aren’t they calling for the capture of the Islamist who murdered the imprisoned Gaddafi? Now THAT’s a warcrime and Obama let it happen and Hillary is cheering about it.

Was that with the nearly obligatory drum circle?
