Rosie O'Donnel was hosting on the View today, and Sean Hannity was a guest...she attacked President Bush and angrily told Sean that Bush is a war criminal, and that he should be put on trial in the Hague. Of course, this is a loony idea from someone who simply hates Bush and says these outrageous, dangerous things about him because she has no real reason to attack him. She complained- ANY president who invades a sovereign nation in 'defiance' of the UN needs to be tried for war crimes.
Of course, Rosie shows her ignorance of the UN and war crimes themselves. Few sane people would consider a nation invading another nation whose leader is a dictator who refuses elections and has his people basically living as prisoners in their own nation as being guilty of any "war crimes." As for the UN and 'defiance' of that body- the US is under no obligation to act only when the UN says it can act. She talks about sovereign nations (like Iraq) as if it's an important idea, yet she seems to not care that the United States is a sovereign nation itself (and we actually ELECT our leaders and are not held captive in the nation by a thug like Hussein.) The US participation in the UN was never intended to be an example of the antion forgoing our right to act, defend, etc. on our own. The UN charter doesn't demand that nations NOT act unless the UN says so either...Her claims are just absurd, and she only makes such offensive claims out of hate for Bush.
Rosie was also upset over Hannity's question- are we better off now that Hussein is in jail, and his rape rooms and torture chambers are closed...which lead to the reply from Rosie that the US is doing the same thing, so no it's not better, and that Hannity was "delusional" (only a leftist Hollywood loony could claim the world/Iraq/the US is better off when Hussein was IN power!!
With her reply, she also claimed that the US military is raping and torturing (maybe even murdering?) prisoners in Iraq. Clearly, another nutjob theory, but whatever...she's a loony, so...
Bush is a war criminal. The U.S. government attacked themselves on 9-11.. it was a modern day "operation northwoods"... do the research... Bush was also funded by the Bin Laden family to start his first oil company Arbusto. He was also investigated for the ritual killing and skinning of 17 of his fellow cult members in Brownsville Texas in the 80's
