Poll question: Will They Actually Prosecute Poll
with the UN chief calling out rummy, and another subpoena being issued for KKKarl, who here actually believes there is a slim chance that they may actually pursue any sort of war crimes prosecution/indictments/etc.?

1. I doubt the US gov't will prosecute but am slightly hopeful that perhaps
we will not block any attempts at international prosecution.

2. Prosecute who?
Bush? Cheney? Their cronies? Those who carried out the crimes?

If it ever gets near Bush and probably Cheney, Obama will pardon them.

Who else?

Obama would allow a former President and Vice President be prosecuted, creating the biggest trial in world history?

8. that's why i was wondering, because it appears
there are some things in the works. i don't think the world community will let us slide this time. my brain says nothing will come of this. my gut says there's a chance, a realistic chance.

curious how folks here are reading into this.
