In the conduct of the office of President of the United States, George Walker Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has prepared, planned, and conspired to engage in a massive war and catastrophic aggression against Iraq by employing methods of mass destruction that will result in the killing of hundreds of thousands of civilians, many of whom will be children. This planning includes the threatened use of nuclear weapons, and the use of such indiscriminate weapons and massive killings by aerial bombardment, or otherwise, of civilians, violates the Hague Regulations on land warfare, the rules of customary international law set forth in the Hague Rules of Air Warfare, the Four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and Protocol I thereto, the Nuremberg Charter, Judgment, and Principles, the Genocide Convention, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and U.S. Army Field Manual 27-10 (1956). In all of this George Walker Bush has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.

What a horrible thing to say! In no way is G.W.Bush comparable to ANY mass murderer. Bush is not an evil man at all! I am definitely NOT a liberal...but questions like this just make my blood boil !!!!!!

Hmm. Bush--the Aborter of Justice! That has a certain ring to it...

Gee....could it have been Saddam Hussein?  He did kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians and openly threaten both the United States and Israel.  How can you blame George Bush for starting the war?  I mean, can you blame the cop for arresting a murderer?  Nope, you blame the murderer!

Not quite so, here we think that the general international policy of the United States for the past century is criminal, no matter who the president. Bush just happens to be worse than the rest. Look at it this way, he has robbed from his own people with his tax reforms. So, he is not only war criminal (like most US presidents) he is also a regular criminal-- thief :) cocaine abuser and many other things you and I will never know about.\nSpain

Bush really enjoyed signing death warrants when he was governor too.  Kind of a serial killer.  I expect nothing less from this war president.

Im a leftist and I don't hate Bush.  I disagree and dislike him but hate is a strong word.\n\nGoing into the war isn't necessarily the war crime.  War crimes can be mutliple things.  Look up all the laws of what constitutes a war crime, or search: GEORGE BUSH'S WAR CRIMES to get a list.  The site will be biased but that's where the people are coming from.

IT IS LIKE CHOOSING BETWEEN EVIL AND EVIL..\n\nboth have excelled as criminals and are actually muderers responsible for the death of uncountable innocent people..\n\nbut yes george bush is better because he doesn't believe that other religions are religions of kafirs and that shariyat should be established..  \natleast his jehad has a motive (oil...oil...oil in iraq)\nosama's doesn't make sense..

Yes.  He murdered four people in cold blood.  Volumes of evidence were presented proving his guilt.  Even the 9th Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, proven to be the most liberal, anti-death-penalty court in the nation, could not find sufficient cause to nullify the verdict.  He received his fair trial, his fair appeals process.  He continuously professed his innocence to delay (for nearly 30 years) his sentence, nothing more.  He capitalized on the fact that American society, with it's EXTREMELY short attention span, would forget the horrific crimes he committed.  He gambled on the possibility that we would forget what he did, become desensitized to it, and dismiss the jury's decision overly harsh.  Some arguing in his defense tried to portray the jury as a bunch of racist white rich folks intent on "murdering another innocent black man" (it wasn't all-white, check the record).  Fortunately, all of the right people saw through his charade, and ended his shennanigans, permanently.

Actually I'm not sure people have thought this one through, while Hitler's extermination of the Jews can never be forgiven. Bush is probably responsible for more misery and death globally than Hitler was. His cowardice in exercising his legal obligation to prevent genocide in places like Somalia (Colin Powell said it was genocide - you pro-Bush folks) and other areas of the world. Combined with the onslaught of violence in Iraq and Afghanistan (which never had anything to do with Al Qaeda but everything to do with oil, otherwise he would invade Saudia Arabia and arrests Osama's family).\n\nHis inability to treat the third world as equals, causing US companies to feel OK about using child labour in India, China, The Phillipines etc. perpetuates misery, poverty and death on millions.\n\nHis inability to tax the rich like they should be taxed and reorient some of the obscene wealth to improve the lives of billions, is a crime against nature itself. The richest 3 men in the world are worth more (in money) than the 15 poorest nations on earth. Over 1 billion people survive on less than 1 US dollar a day. Over 2 billion people still do not have access to clean drinking water.\n\nAnd his many other crimes are at least as appalling as that of the German regime.\n\nDo I think Bush makes Hilter look like Mary Poppins? No. Do I think there's a good case for them being considered equally awful - you bet.

It's funny you mention this because a while back I thought of the same concept... They both are criminals in a way, but what Bush did cannot be forgotten nor forgiven... What Clinton did,  millions of people do all the time. Adultery is everywhere...  It's not right, but people make mistakes! Screwing the world is discusting and I hope that somewhere in the future Bush will be punished and will suffer for what he did!

seriously?  the answer is obvious -- Osama is the one who killed thousands of innocent people who were just on their way to work for no (good) reason.  you may not like bush for political reasons (and it is a free country so you are entitled to your opinion), but he is trying his best to lead our country in trying times.  It's ok to be critical of the man in power and question his policies -- but you should also respect the office and how difficult it is to lead this country.  I know I couldn't do it.   You should be ashamed of yourself for even posting this question and promoting violence against the leader of our country -- who was elected in our democratic system, I might add.

Yes he IS the "Decider" and there in lies the problem. His pizz-poor decision making skills have turned our great land into the "laughing stock" of the world. Also let's briefly examine the damage done by Bush and his criminal administration; an unjust war, racial/cultural polarization, HUGE national debt, violation of constitutional rights, you get the idea. The criminal administration should be put on trial for their crimes against America and humanity.

GW Bush is a bad president.He is conceit and a great liar.He has slandered the Sadam head of the government of Iraq.He instructed his arm forces to attack Iraq by accusing they had mass destruction weapon but in fact Iraq has no that weapon.\nThey are many innocent casualties by his attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan.There are many orphans,widows and handicapped people in Iraq and Afghanistan.They destroyed many historical buildings in Iraq and Afghanistan.Almost everyday its victims are added. in those 2 countries.Bush supported Israelis government for killing and attacking Palestian muslims and christians in Libanon and Gaza almost everyday there are many casuallties\nGW Bush is criminal of war. and a great terrorist  in this world.He should responsible fpr that.Many prisoners of war were tortured in jails by his soldiers.This act is against with mankind and humanism and the principles of human rights.He should be taken into international court for his criminal acts to other people of other countries.He is a big agressor.He could  not manage his goverment in a good governance.During his administration there are many corruptions and unemployment increased..He used many millions of dollar from the tax payers for killing other people in other countries..

None...that's absurd to say he has. To my knowledge President Bush has never personally killed anyone.\n\nRemember, Congress has to approve everything he does (at least majority vote). So why just point the finger at Bush? Seriously, it's getting aggravating. All the questions on here always have the same theme.
