None of the resident fox news sheep who like war care to comment.
What a surprise.

One of most disappointing things about the Obama administration is they did not press for indictment of Bush and Cheney and the rest of the thugs that lied to the world and let us to war.

Being wrong is not a crime. It's just not good politics.

What is there to comment on?

The best you could do was a troll post.

THIS. While I do understand the desire to see the last administration held accountable for past decisions, as zz0468 says, it is not good politics. It sets a political bias precedent that is very dangerous. Rumsfeld, Bush, Cheney and all will hopefully be held responsible
for their actions in the afterlife (if there is one)...that is the best that we can hope for.

Torture is illegal. They have been convicted in absentia for this.
They also weren't wrong, they lied for the reasons for going to war.

Plausible deniability.

All they have to say, and did say, is that they were misinformed.

By a court with no jurisdiction... does that really count for anything other than a publicity stunt merely intended to make a point?

This is where you'd have a hard time being able to prove anything. And if you want criminal charges to be filed, your case has to stand up to certain legal standards. At this point, there's nothing but opinion and conjecture.

I stand on my original comment: Being wrong is not a crime.

The president is just a puppet head for the global elite and six mega banks that really call the shots.
The last president that tried to go up against the elite was JFK- ... and we all know what happened to him.

Easy to prove. Just look at all the no bid contracts, and who stood to gain from the war.
Besides, when did evidence become necessary? We led a multiple nations to war in Iraq without any evidence.

Agreed.
