Is it possible for a President of the United States to be sent to the Hague to be tried for war crimes? What would be the procedure for doing this?

Okay, who doesn't know that the Plame leak was a setup? Pure entrapment! I'm not naming names - but feel free to guess. If you haven't figured this out yet, say "duh" now.

Who is a Real sniper????? And not a terroist??

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend by the name of Common Sense who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. he will be remembered as having cultivated such value lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm and that life isnt always fair. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (dont spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting stategies (adults, not kids, are...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- More than half of North Carolina military members surveyed in the latest Elon University poll disapprove of President Bush's handling of the war in Iraq and his overall job performance. Nearly 53 percent of military members said they strongly disapproved or disapproved of Bush's handling of his job. And just more than 56 percent of that same group strongly disapproved or disapproved of how he has dealt with the Iraq war. Overall, 53 percent of those surveyed for the poll released Friday did not approve of Bush's job performance, while 57 percent did not approve of his...

Could all problems cause move by US to take aggressive action. Could problems justify such moves? Maybe.

<p>What do you fellow Freepers think of these Gas Prices?</p> <p>I don't wanna blame Bush but It's getting to the point where I can't pay my bills.</p> <p>I oppose Abortion, Divorce on Demand, & Gay Marriage & Ithink taxes should stay low for everyone but I CAN'T AFFORD THESE HIGH GAS PRICES.</p>

<p>The disaster efforts are a disaster itself.Why did it took 4 days of suffering four these people to get any aide till it was sent to them?It was now a week of this BS!!If Rudolf Guiliani is mayor he would've done it a better job than this.This was acceptable!! It's was partly to blame on both the Clinton and Bush administrations for cutbacks of the funds for to fix the leveys of New Orleans.I thought these folks would've had a better chance of survival if the leveys were fixed like they were supposed to.Instead,the money was rerouted to fight the Iraqi War and hailliburton!To hell with wars as far as I'm concerned.The evacuees of New Orleans,Mississippi and Alabama are more important than human life is more important right now.We've got people dropping dead out there and more to come man!This is a disaster of the bible's proportions and one that residents of Louisiana had feared for years would happen.There nightmare has now reached the fruition and their are still peeple in that god-forsaken superdome still waiting to get out of that cesspool,hellhole that is full of human boddies with the unbearable stench of dead bodies,human waste and mold.How the hell can the National Guard force the remaining 10,000 peeple to remain in such an environment?This is excusable!! They should let those people sleep outside in the open-air where it's much better than inside that disease-brewing superdome.What do they intend to do if a disease pandemic results from this?They obviously don't think about that.Somebody has to be accountable for the dead.If theier is people looting in the streets of New Orleans it's because they do that to survive.They are starving for Christ's sake.Do you blame them? What is wrong with looting?!?! When it comes down to stealing you gotta do what you gotta do to do-even if it means breaking some laws.There's still peaple in flooded areas still waiting to be saved.By the time help comes their way,more will be dead.There's no cents in rebuilding this town because it is built in a stupid way by 3 bodies of water.Who the hell in their right mind would want to take another chance and go back to that?So what if they rebuild the city.It's still in danger of being wiped out again of Katrina!Anyway,this is one big flop-up that will be on the minds of voters next election.Keep your eyes glued to the TV because more dead are on the way and it's all BUSH'S FAULT!</p>

90" Plasma will give one all the "Beautiful Landscape" one needs...We now have the ability to clone any animal we want...Maybe, if we're lucky, it will get warm enough to build condos where the ice now lay...We can set up industry and start scraping the ground for BLACK GOLD!! We OWN the land...52 states baby!! Why not just buy Mexico?

Body of Thread. body of thread.

The Fanatic Right defines words like democracy, communism and terrorism quite differently than I do. When the Shah, Marcos, Suharto, Pinochet, and other similar tyrants were in power the U.S. described the governments they headed as democracies... and the labels communism, terrorist, or terrorist supporter were slapped on the governments of Sukarno, Allende, Castro, Mugabe, and Hussein. My definitions are based on what I assume those words were intended to mean and not how they have been used or interpreted over time. I think Lincoln's definition of democracy as "a government of the people, by the people and for the...

<p>Bush and his oligarchic companions sabotaged American democracy so they could pillage taxpayer resources.</p> <p>Bush and his cabal of henchmen lied to the American people about Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, and they continue to obfuscate the truth while their companies cash in, Iraqis suffer and American soldiers die.</p>

Do you have a "Support the Troops" sticker on your car? How do you support our troops? What do you do differently since the war started? Has your suffering increased the way it has for our troops and Iraqi citizens in harm's way? Ask your grandparents what did they did when WW2 was going on? Did their president ask them to take more vacations to Disneyland to help our economy after Pearl Harbor was bombed? If you believe we are in Iraq becasue Al Queda hates freedom, I've got some land in FL to sell you. If you really want...

Edward FORBES Smiley of Edgartown MA not related to John FORBES Kerry? How is this possible? What's your middle name, I'll bet it's not FORBES. http://liveshot.cc/

I am concerned about the demise of the Democratic Party. Because of their incredible stupidity and gay ways, the checks and balances of a two-party system is in jeopardy. I am thinking about voting for Hillary so I can keep the Republicans honest with a loyal opposition. Does anyone have any thoughts on this matter?

The All-Volunteer Force (AVF), arguably the most successful and widely hailed federal program of the past thirty years, is failing. The conditions that enabled the AVF to thrive through the 1980s and 1990s no longer pertain. The erosion of those conditions, greatly accelerated by the Iraq War, is exposing as false the great unspoken assumption undergirding U.S. policy since the end of the cold war, namely, that the United States can enjoy the prerogatives of being the world’s sole superpower on the cheap.

A small town in Indiana and a brief filed saying that Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided are entirely positive signs on first inspection, but the second reveals only a leaning and not a falling off on one side or the other. This is, of course, by White House design for the public understanding of Judge Roberts. Bush has exhibited his recurrent traits and examining G.W. Bush right now is the only way to know what really is in the heart of Judge Roberts. Roberts is deliberately without much record. He is deliberately congenial and with friends all around. He...

America is very very bad country. Horrible country. Shame on you freepers for not including afghanistan and iran and iraq and all the other middle easterns countries on the list you segregationist. You got to be ashamed. Cause were brown, One day we browns will come and get you racist.

Ray McGovern a 27-year senior CIA intelligence analyst has exposed the lies of the Neocons and the Israeli-controlled foreign policy of the United States. The session took an awkward turn when witness Ray McGovern, a former intelligence analyst, declared that the United States went to war in Iraq for oil, Israel and military bases craved by administration “Neocons” so “the United States and Israel could dominate that part of the world.” He said that Israel should not be considered an ally and that Bush was doing the bidding of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. “Israel is not allowed to be...

dude... like Jackie Gleason was a brother.
