proof positive .....................obamas a war criminal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The charge, now the proof? It is understandable the outrage you might be having for Obama's various decisions or indecisions, but calling him a war criminal? Using the term so loosely diminishes the severity of the charge.
not at all and your defending this war criminals inexcuseable and only enables the criminals to further thier wars of choice!
and killed innocent civilians that have done nothing to merit that response. He continues the fake war on terror, and fully supports US military's illegal invasions. 'nuff said.
the proof of your culpabilitys in the fact that if bush was still in charge you and the other botts would be screaming war criminal yourselves, hipocracy plain and simple, the charges stand on thier own merit,
This isn't really the proof, if your looking for a place to find hard proof start with civilian deaths due to drone attacks in Pakistan.
The deaths above are US solders they are sadly at the disposal of the President. I am not sure it is a criminal act for Obama to get them killed. Its more the people he has the dead solders above kill,, there in lays the potential crimes.
The invasion of Iraq was illegal. The continued occupation is also illegal. What part of illegal does Obama not understand?

I'm truly disappointed in his lack of leadership on war issues. I guess he's lazy, but that laziness is deadly.
There needs to be more outrage in this country about the civilians killed by drones.

Obama says Iran war not off the table
Killing pre-emptively for your protection for over 100 days now.
Who the hell even HAS a table anymore?
No room on the table for impeachment or prosecutions, but there's always a place for war!
Have a seat!
no waiting to be served!
War yes!
Prosecutions no!
Obama knows the way,
We don't have to know.
Is this in any way Obama's responsibility yet? Or is there a time that has to lapse before he's offically responsible?
I have got to say, as a liberal, and as a progressive, I am disgusted, shocked and completely p*ssed, reading people defending Nancy Pelosi on this blog of all blogs. The cretin fully supported the Iraq invasion AND publicly supported Bush. And people are defending her of all people? How disgusting. Those that are, are no different than the Neocons and Dickhead Cheney's of the world. Pathetic excuses for human beings. And these people have the audacity to lecture others on here, like they are somehow superior? Not going to mention any names, but it's quite obvious that the internet blogs have been taken over by the Democratic Party's version of Bush supporters, right down to the exact same pathetic partisan bullcrap. Liberals and progressives? I don't think so. Just party faithful paid to spread BS.
In 2008, 27 Gardasil deaths, on top of thousands whose lives have been wrecked by the Merck HPV vaccine.
Baxter is working on a swine flu vaccine with the World Health Organization.
This year, Baxter got caught sending out live avian flu virus, a level-3 bio-hazard, in vaccine materials to a dozen countries, offering no explanation for this virtually impossible breech, citing the need to guard their companies secret production methods.
In the 80's, Baxter conspired with the FDA to quietly dump HIV contaminated blood-products in other countries, but not to sell it in the US.
The body count is really racking up there from the "pro life" administration.
Kucinich wasn't "electable" so we got Obama which was still better than McCain...I think. What did we expect?
and why was he not electable?
Dennis Kucinich is one of the best members of Congress. The problem with Kucinich is he tells it like it is which is why "they" say he is not electable. If its good for the people, then its not good for the establishment in Washington.
Kucinich won't be conned by the elites the way Obama was.

Until American people regain control of elections enabling the ability to combat against the special interests that have corrupted the legislature, things will not change much.
...media made sure he wasn't.
wrong thread
...of our armed forces can be seen in light of the fact that they would even think about sending a 60 year old into combat.
Very sad indeed.
