Ultimate Hypocrisy

Bush says that this is happening now in Iraq because there's a rule of law there, thanks to him . (That's that pesky thing in the U.S. that Bush has broken repeatedly ie, spying on citizens without a warrant, falsifying intelligence to start a war etc.)

This is a complete joke and an insult to the noble concept of a crimes against humanity court.

A crime against humanity, for which he was hung is a crime against all of humanity. He should have been tried in the Hague , a place set up for these crimes for a reason, so all could see the evidence, the crimes and the punishment, so hopefully would be dictators world wide would see the consequences of these actions and stop this behavior. Would be dictators like George Bush.
That transparency at the Hague court was not possible for Bush because Hussein's crimes were encouraged and facilitated by the U.S. 100%
It would have made more sense to hand Saddam over to Iran who suffered the most by this U.S. puppet dictator.
So Iraq is sovereign with a rule of law? That's why 5 hooded thugs are hanging Saddam. They look like the terrorists who beheaded Nick Berg.

Iran knows why Saddam is being executed in a private sham trial and in the safety of the U.S. controlled Green Zone.
"Investigation into the Iraqi invasion of Iran(1980-1988) and in Kuwait(1990)could have disclosed the U.S involvement in Saddam's crimes and therefore the Americans preferred to close the case earlier"

Would someone like to ask Bush at the next opportunity,
1) What is the purpose of the Hague court for crimes against humanity? Why don't you support it?
2) Was the White House concerned about a longer trial that would have brought out U.S. involvement in facilitating most of Saddam's crimes?

So good riddance to an evil dictator but don't talk about rules of law when the people who facilitated these horrible crimes are preaching their own goodness today and not acknowledging their complicity.

The pic below of Rumsfeld was taken shortly after Iraq started using chemical weapons and committing these heinous crimes against humanity, chemical warfare whose components and logistics were supplied by another Republican government. Nothing was said then? Why is that not a crime then or now? Saddam was hung for crimes from 20 years ago...since there appears to be no time limitations for Republicans, who's next, to stand trial for past crimes against humanity? We could quickly start a list of crimes, if that's helpful?

That'd be a long list... if Saddam had been tried at the Hague, he could have started it.

What a tacky, tawdry joke of a situation. A trial and execution made for TV.

It's a crime that more Americans don't know what their governments have done around the world, things that would hopefully offend their sense of morality.
