| Why the HELL do they feel they have to "fix" the Geneva Conventions? |
|
Seriously, why do they feel they have to fix the conventions that have been workable for 50 yrs EXCEPT to give the president dictatorial powers and to make sure they will not get prosecuted for war crimes? Is there another reason? Wild rhetoric aside, is there?

I call GW Bush the "All of a Sudden" President
Because, all of a sudden, the UN is no good and bad all of a sudden, the Geneva Convention is not good for the US all of a sudden, (Back in 2001) oil prices skyrocketed all of a sudden, Social Security needs to be fixed all of a sudden, Iraq was a threat,(2003) all of a sudden, Iran is now a threat all of a sudden, terror is everywhere, and we need a "war on terror" all of a sudden, torture is a good thing
