In reply to the discussion: How can Obama & AG Holder stick to the ludicrous "look forward not back" on WAR CRIMES today? [View all]Takket
(21,563 posts)I understand at the time Obama took over he had to worry about how he was going to fix this DISASTER bush left him, but the fact no move was ever made to prosecute Bush and his team for war crimes is something that has really hurt this nation. Now we have rethugs holding both houses of congress and the supreme court.
A trial could have exposed everything they did in a forum the whole public would have seen. we've had more testimony of Clinton's blow job than we have on a false war that lead to thousands of dead soldiers and hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis. and no one seems to care. if the public had seen the true evil of the rethugs on trial we probably could have guaranteed progressive control for a generation. instead they were allowed to all simply get away with it.
Even today... when we have a chance to show how we differ from the rethugs, are leaders are more concerned with protecting the "good name" of the GOP. why? Can you even fathom if the roles were reversed????
