Senate Bill Would Allow Prosecution of Bush for Iraq War 
 Senators Dick Durbin, Russ Feingold, and Patrick Leahy have introduced a bill in the United States Senate (S. 1346) ...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x5960435

...so on and so forth.

What follows are a couple dozen K&Rs uniformly lacking any real consideration of the issue at hand. What no one on that side every considers is:

1) the absolute lack of any evidence that Bush ordered the US military to engage in war crimes. I've been back in for 3+ years and have yet to get my army Field Manual on how to sodomize prisoners.

2) the claims of war crimes aren't even substantiated.

3) if congress has to make a law NOW that must mean there was no crime THEN

4) you cannot criminally charge someone ex post facto

5) the military that supposedly so willingly committed acts of "murder...kidnapping...aggravated sexual assault...torture...arbitrary detention..." now answers to their messiah

6) if any of these acts occurs under Obama he becomes liable unless he magically rehabilitated the military because I never recieved my army Field Manual telling me we will now be weilding pinwheels and rainbows as we ride in on Skittle shitting unicorns

You know the term "DU legal eagles" is pretty much an oxymoron, right?  Most of them think they've passed the bar because they've seen Jonathan Turley on Keith Olbermann's show.

They still like to hold on to their delusions. It was kind of funny at first, but now it's more of an annoyance. They'll never be over Bush, Cheney, and Lord Rove.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Just because these tools watch every episode of "Law and Order" it doesn't make them qualified to do anything more important then fax pretty pictures in crayon to President Eurkle.

When the government starts trying US soldiers for war crimes en mass, and the Army rises up and slaughters them all, I wonder what the DUmpmonkiez will think of then?
