Prosecution? George Bush was a great man who served his country honorably. He did many things for his country and is a credit to all Americans. The world would be much better & more peaceful place if there were more politicians with profound insight & leadership skills possessed George Bush in other countries. Frankly to even mention prosecuting him is treasonous to say the least! I hope he sues all concerned for liable/deformation. A great man should not have to put up with this rubbish!

So I guess Vietnam was justified. JFK, and Johnson did not commit the same crime. A bunch of left wing idiots that do not look in the mirror and see they committed the same crime 3 decades ago.
the war in Iraq was not Illegal! Congress authorized it.
Look behind the curtain to see the reality.

Clinton wasn't impeached. he was tried and convited in the house for lying about his affair and all that. But the senate did not vote to impeach him! you might not think there is a difference but there is. to be impeached means he would have been removed from office. and since he served out both his terms in office he wasn't impeached!edit on 11/16/2010 by Mercenary2007 because: (no reason given)

Good point. If one looks very closely you will see it is the muslim extremists who are trying to taint the good image of Mr Bush! You are so right. Look hard & you will see it.

I think this is absolute BS to be honest. If you are going to prosecute Bush for all those lives lost in Iraq, you have to also prosecute every living president for any lives lost under their administration. As well as every member of congress who authorized those military actions, all military generals, commanders, soldiers, etc.

The way i see it, a leader is a representation of your country.
He or she represents your psyche, so you people in america really do have some bad leaders.
What does that say about your society as a whole.edit on 11/15/2010 by andy1033 because: (no reason given)
I love how this guys says Sadam didn't have any weapons of mass destruction. I guess he didn't get the memo.
So IF this guy wants to try GWB then he better get a bunch of grand juries ready because he will have to put the ENTIRE CONGRESS on trial as well!

As well as every member of congress who authorized those military actions, all military generals, commanders, soldiers, etc. Bush was given false intelligence, and made decisions based on the information he was given. Congress authorized action, the Secretary of Defense set it in motion, the generals ordered the missions, the commanders led those missions, captains followed out the orders with their men, soldiers did what they were told. All on congress's authority. The truth didn't come out until later. That is not Bush's fault. Quit grasping at straws and trying to find ways to blame Bush for stuff that isn't his fault.
Vincent Bugliosi is an American attorney and author, best known for prosecuting Charles Manson and other defendants accused of the Tate-LaBianca murders. His most recent book is "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder."
Vincent spoke before a Tent State University / Alliance for Real Democracy event held at Cuernavaca Park in Denver, Colorado during DNC.
The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder is a 2008 book by former prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi. It argues that George W. Bush took the United States into the invasion of Iraq under false pretenses and should be tried for murder for the deaths of American soldiers in Iraq when he leaves office in 2009. The book was virtually ignored by the mainstream media but still sold over 130,000 copies within its first three months of release.
Bugliosi argues that Bush intentionally misled Congress and the American people about the evidence that he said mandated going into Iraq and overthrowing Saddam Hussein. Therefore, Bugliosi argues, the deaths of over 4,000 American soldiers and 100,000 Iraqi civilians since hostilities began (as of spring 2008) amount to murder. He further states that any of the 50 state attorneys general, as well as any district attorney in the United States, has ample grounds to indict Bush for the murder of any soldier or soldiers who live in their state or county. Bugliosi says that if he were prosecuting the case, he would seek imposition of the death penalty, and that impeachment alone would be "a joke", considering the magnitude of Bush's alleged crimes.
The strongest evidence against Bush, Bugliosi says, is a speech on October 7, 2002 claiming that Iraq posed an imminent threat to the security of the United States and was capable of attacking America at any time with his stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. However, a National Intelligence Estimate of less than a week earlier stated that while Iraq did have WMD capability, it had no plans to use it except in self-defense. Moreover, according to Bugliosi, the president and his administration edited the "White Paper", or declassified version of the NIE released to Congress and the public, in a way that made the Iraqi threat seem more ominous than it actually was. In addition, Bugliosi says that the Manning Memo shows that, far from making serious efforts to avoid war, Bush considered the possibility of provoking Saddam into starting a war by sending U2 reconnaissance aircraft, falsely painted in UN colors, on flights over Iraq along with fighter escorts. He also argues that Bush pressured intelligence agencies to find proof that Saddam somehow helped al-Qaeda plan the 9-11 attacks.
