(14,449 posts)How on earth could president busy get arrested and charged in a place we have nothing to do with? Impossible! I see this all the time but many will be disappointed over and over again.

(14,570 posts)Here's a link from politifact, which points out that it is very unlikely Bush and Cheney would be arrested overseas due to fear of backlash in US foreign policy, and asserts there are NO outstanding warrants for the arrest of either of these amoral lizards.

However, the article also points out that 'In 2005 Donald Rumsfeld nearly pulled out of a conference in Germany until receiving prosecutors assurances that he wouldnt be arrested, according to the Guardian.' So it isn't that far fetched, though Rumsfeld is admittedly a lesser lizard.

(28,498 posts)Really? I imagine security will be extremely tight. Or there'll be paid actors portraying happy Iraqis dancing in the streets and throwing flowers.
I don't see a visit to GitMo on his itinerary.

(12,863 posts)What I'd say to his face if I could:
I'd tell you to go fuck yourself
But that is much too kind
Because if you could perform that feat
You'd take pleasure in your behind
I'd like to say eat shit and die
But you deserve much more
You should suffer all the grief and pain
Of your misbegotten war
Though I could never make you think
Or feel, or understand
I'll take solace when I hear your name
Cursed throughout the land
From inside a lonely prison cell
Dark and bare and cold
Where every day you pay for your crimes
Until you're sick, heartbroken, and old
Then when you finally leave the Earth
You fucked over oh so well
If there is a God and afterlife
You're going straight to hell
