Well it looks like that our friend Tutu was worried that he did get enough face time for his comments about the TV show “Stars Earn Strips”<\/a> that he going back to the Bush is a War Criminal meme.<\/a> <\/p>\n

He said a war crimes trial “should be and could be held on the basis a crime of aggression has been committed and the crime of aggression was starting the war.<\/p>\n

“It’s now almost certain that the war was illegal because it breached the UN Charter provisions which say that all member of the United Nations must refrain from the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course this is making it’s rounds around Facebook and all the comments you find on DU. Oh it seems our favorite fat man <\/a>decided to comment as well. <\/p>\n

I wanted to say something before the day ended about the call by Desmond Tutu that Bush and Blair be tried for war crimes. Finally someone of note and respect has said the unspeakable. There is no question that these two men should face a judge and jury for invading another country that wasn’t attacking of threatening them or their people. The two of them took their countries to war for a variety of reasons that had NOTHING to do with self-defense. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians lost their lives. These two men knew the evidence was being cooked for them because they asked for their advisers to give them some reason so they could declare war. Military contractors made millions. Billions. Criminal. Let’s ask the World Court to bring these two up on charges – make them answer for this disastrous debacle. No one – NO ONE – is above the law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh according to a commenter it seems that Tutu know more about Iraq then any of us who have been there. <\/p>\n

\nYou’re not necessarily more equipped than Nobel Laurette Desmond Tutu to evalutate the international & historical significance of the US Aggression in Iraq merely because you’ve stood there.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
