George Bush and Tony Blair Found Guilty Of War Crimes
George W. Bush and Tony Blair were both found guilty of War Crimes, in a Malaysian War Crimes Tribunal. The Kuala Lampur War Crimes Tribunal, as reported here by Ottawacitizen.com, issued a statement in which they said…’The Tribunal deliberated over the case and decided unanimously that the first accused George Bush and second accused Blair have been found guilty of crimes against peace”

This comes after two years of investigation in which it was found… “The evidence showed that the drums of wars were being beaten long before the invasion. The accused in their own memoirs have admitted their own intention to invade Iraq regardless of international law”

The war crimes tribunal was initiated by Former Malaysian Premier Mahathir Mohamad, who is a fierce critic of the Iraq War. The hearings took place over a period of four days and the guilty decision was a unanimous one. The seven member panel chaired was by former Malaysian Court Judge Abdul Kadir Sulaiman. The panel also consisted of five judges who have Academic backgrounds. The prosecution team was headed by two prominent legal personalities with strong professional legal credentials: Gurdeal Singh Nijar and Francis Boyle.

Bush’s and Blair’s names should now be entered in a register for war criminals. The Tribunal will also pursue their being tried by the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Kuala Lampur Tribunal is being hailed in many quarters as being a champion for the cause by it’s great courage in standing up to powerful Western interests who have downplayed the crimes of Bush and Blair by not prosecuting them in their respective countries.

1. Good, when do they start serving their sentences?
;-)

Well, at least it looks like they won't be vacationing in Malaysia.

Meanwhile, the U.S. and the U.K. should be ashamed.

2. Being ashamed is not a problem for corrupt politicians.
As long as the big checks keep coming in.

They.Don't.Care.

A good thing, but I doubt Mr Blair, and Mr Bush will be anymore near a prison cell even after this trial.. And I doubt Blair and Bush will be any near Malaysia anytime soon after this verdict..

But it is a start, and i hope ICC will get their hand on this case and maybe get the case wide open, so everyone can get to understand it better.. And that it might end up in a verdict at ICC also.. A wet dream of me, for many years, have been to hear the verdict of mr Blair and Bush.. In ICC

4. not investigating/indicting Bush is one of Obama's largest failures
and makes him an accessory to those war crimes he chose to ignore.

5. Dereliction of Duty, not just failure.
And Ms. Off-the-table Pelosi is guilty as well.
