2017, Exit War Criminal Obama, Enter War Criminal Trump

bampow.jpg

Here's a fact - Obama is a war criminal. He has committed war crimes as President of the United States of America. As Commander in Chief (CINC) of America's military and supervisor of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), he is responsible for crimes against humanity according to international law, according to any law. He is responsible for the deaths of innocent men, women and children, thousands of children. It's called murder in real life, premeditated, first degree murder.

There is no doubt whatsoever. Anyone who argues otherwise is either flat out lying or flat out delusional. We simply have to stop excusing the wars and imperialist actions taken by our government as directed by the President, Congress and others and start saying what they really are, crimes just like any others that must be prosecuted. We also have to stop excusing those who support such actions.

Here's another fact - the Democratic party and the vast majority of democratic party members are morally bankrupt.

"Throughout President Barack Obama's sixth full year in office, an average of 79% of Democrats have approved of the job he was doing."

http://www.gallup.com/poll/181490/obama-approval-ratings-historically-po...

Those are gallop poll figures, most other recent polls have his approval rating among democrats in the 80's.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approv...

Let's round it out to 80% for the sake of discussion. Four out of five democrats approve of a war criminal's job performance. That's a vast majority. These are people who are stating that they approve of Obama's job performance even though he is responsible for the murder of innocent human beings.

Some might say they're approving of Obama's overall job performance but they don't approve of his murdering innocent women and children. That's not unlike saying Jeffrey Dahmer is a good guy but you don't approve of his serial killing. But that's what you'll hear from most of the "approvers". They might be against the wars but they honestly can't connect Obama to war crimes, to murder. They can with George W. Bush though, ya they can.

When is killing children ever something to be balanced out against other actions?

It's no different on the other side of the aisle. George W. Bush received a 70-80% approval rating from Republicans in his last two years on the job. Of course, Bush is every bit a war criminal that Obama is due to his involvement in illegal wars and imperialist actions during his presidency. Donald Trump will become a war criminal as soon as he's sworn into office by virtue of his role as CINC and supervisor of the CIA while illegal wars and other imperialist actions and operations are taking place. You can bet republicans will largely approve of his job performance anyway. Tribal politics does that to people, along with massive propaganda and the unwillingness to face reality.

There's no better evidence that both major political parties and most of their members help perpetuate the American War Machine. Where else can you see such large scale approval for crimes against humanity? Maybe if it wasn't for democrats and republicans we could actually end the wars and U.S. imperialism. Without their approval, how would their leaders justify it?

ended two wars and hasn't started any new ones, even though the Afghanistan war is going on its 16th year, troops are back in Iraq, Libya was destroyed our government, Ukraine is being run by neo Nazis and Syria is being destroyed by the various Al Qaida groups that this country has armed and funded.
I have seen people defending Obamas's use of drones in 8 countries because they say that they keep our troops from being injured or killed.
It doesn't matter how many times I ask them what gives him the right to drop bombs that kill innocent civilians, they are okay with the use of drones.
And as others have pointed out, when Trump continues to use them we will see people saying that he's a war criminal like Bush was.

Excellent article on The Cowards Wars

They are the terror they claim to fight, and they dress it in noble words.

They come; they see; people die. They laugh. Or say it was worth it. Their maps are not a territory inhabited by living beings; they are military targets. They bomb from safe altitudes, no lower than 15,000 feet (Yugoslavia, 1999, for example) to protect their own volunteer warriors. In 38,000 sorties and 22,000 tons of bombs in three months (Yugoslavia, 1999), they never lost a plane. They promise the people their bombs will not harm a hair on their heads; then, they bomb markets and bridges at noon, when people are at their thickest; the say they are as careful at noon as they are at midnight. They claim they have nothing against the people—only against their leaders; then they bomb water supplies, electrical grids, schools, hospitals, churches, libraries, museums. They hold civilians in their power, hostages to their air force, their cluster and phosphorus bombs. They poison the land with depleted uranium and raise whole crops of human cancers for generations. They send drones. They fund, train, and arm cutthroat armies. They terrorize civilians for their political ends. They are the humanitarians of the “international community,” and they have nothing to envy the conquistadores, the exterminators of native people, the enslavers, the imperialists of times gone by. They are the agents of collateral genocide.

The UN Charter forbids wars of aggression. It specifies that breaking the peace to wage a “war of choice” is the “supreme international crime.”

The Nuremberg trials said that it's a war crime to invade countries that haven't threatened other countries, but our government say that they need to do this because they have to protect the people who are being attacked by their government.
Obama and Hillary lied to us about Gaddafi using his military to put down the people who were protesting against him and he was arresting journalists.
How is that any different from what happened during the OWS or the BLM protests?

At the DAPL protests, the governor of ND hired the mercenary company called Tiger Swan which used attack dogs to bite the peaceful protesters. How that can be legal in this country is unfathomable, yet many Americans approved of their actions. That should have been considered assault and battery.
I think that was a test to see how Americans would respond to that.

Whenever there is a terrorist attack in our country or in foreign ones, the American people wonder why it happened. They think that the people of the United States had just been minding their business and out of the blue our country was attacked for no reason.
And we know how many people wanted revenge for the attack.

During both the attacks in France the terrorists said that it was payback for France's military's actions in the Middle East and because their military had killed their families and friends.
And they then think that our military should kill the terrorists and their families.
How is that different than what 'happened' on 9/11?

During many of the terrorist attacks, the people who committed them had been under investigation and being watched yet somehow they were able to carry out their attacks.
The person in Germany had been under investigation, as were the underwear bomber whose father actually called our government and warned them about him.
The Boston bombers were had also been under investigation, but were able to carry out the bombings and then we saw a trial run on how Americans would react to martial law. Not well in my opinion.
And after every attack, country's governments tell us that we have to sacrifice our civil rights so that they can keep us safe.
The second attack in France happened after the government put emergency orders in effect. Oops, looks like those measures didn't have any effect.

This video shows the hypocrisy of both Hillary and Obamas's reason for why Gaddafi needed to be removed from office.

I very rarely go to the democratic party sites any more, like Daily Kos, but it doesn't surprise me that many are still defending Obama's wars. Properly propagandized people.
Hell, I saw Obama has his highest approval rating in general, at 57%, now. It's enough to drive an antiwar person nuts.
Not me though, can't get to me, can't get to me, can't get to me.

then they pardon each other.

You can add bombing Hospitals to the list. MSF Kunduz and allies Saudi Arabia for example doing the same in Yemen.

Dirty tricks in Central and South America.

However, as you will have it rammed down your throat, everyone else is worse because they are not exceptional.

Here's another fact - the Democratic party and the vast majority of democratic party members are morally bankrupt.

For the party of the 1%, of the massively wealthy, democrats and republicans are morally bankrupt. All that money, and yet that can never buy things such as a conscience.

It is truly a tragedy what our government does, and even worse the people who cheer it on.

being on the other foot is amazing. Yet our crimes provoke retaliation which in turn provokes our reciprocating retaliations.

Shades of the Hatfields and McCoys. That feud started because a couple of drunks messed up a wedding party and continued for generations. How logical is that? How logical is it that many people still think the old Cold War was continuing, when actually petulant Obama rekindled dormant animosities.

They think that the people of the United States had just been minding their business and out of the blue our country was attacked for no reason.
And we know how many people wanted revenge for the attack.

They hate our freedoms. Really? Who is "they"? (Rhetorical question here at c99).

and let's never forget that Obama went further down the rabbit hole than any of his predecessors. Killing American citizens, and in at least one case, a teenage child of one his previous murder victims.

But Obama is just upholding the grand tradition of war crimes and murder handed down to him by both Bushes, Clinton, Reagan, Nixon, Johnson and so many others.

Dear Dems: You lost the WH, Senate, House, dozens of governors, state level SOS and AG and about 1,000 state legislative seats. Maybe...you're doing something wrong.

he fucking NORMALIZED it. These assassination squads, consisting of an 'off-the-record' military force, are now a permanent part of American Executive Powers. (I wonder how Trump is going to use them.)

Remember Seymour Hersh, before the DKos Demo-rats threw him under the bus?:

Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh describes 'executive assassination ring'

At a “Great Conversations” event (MP3) at the University of Minnesota last night, legendary investigative reporter Seymour Hersh may have made a little more news than he intended by talking about new alleged instances of domestic spying by the CIA, and about an ongoing covert military operation that he called an “executive assassination ring.”

If you had any doubt about the villainy of the Executive branch, read this link. Here is one chilling observation by Seymour Hersh at the end:

Hersh seemed more troubled by the repetitions of the pattern. The “beautiful thing about our system” is that eventually we get new leaders, he said. “The evil twosome, Cheney and Bush, left,” Hersh said. But he also said “it’s really amazing to me that we manage to get such bad leadership, so consistently.”

And that says it all as why we got Trumpenstein versus Medusa.
