The War Crime Trial Continues

The war crime trials of George W. Bush, Richard Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld continued today with the prosecution siting the number of deaths that resulted from the invasion of the sovereign nation of Iraq at being over 100,000. This is the figure just for collateral damage inflicted by the US military, not siting the deaths that have occurred because of the civil war that has erupted in Iraq because of the U.S. invasion. An invasion that broke not only international law, but United States law also! The prosecution also went on to site the U.S. military deaths that have occurred in Iraq at nearing the 3000 mark! All of this lost of life was brought about by the willful plan to mislead and misinform the American public, and by ignoring the laws of the United States. When questioned directly by the prosecution, Bush, the defendant, sat with a quizzical look upon his face, while his lawyer whispered in his ear, he offered, at first only a few vague half-sentences, when finally his lawyer stepped in saying that the defendant had no immediate response to that question. His lawyer, also stating that if this trial were being held in the United States, that he, George Bush, would plead the fifth amendment to the Constitution. However, the prosecution objected, stating that even if the Trial were being held in the U.S. the fifth amendment had been revoked by Bush and the Republican Congress and therefore would be of no consequence. Cheney and Rumsfeld, sitting at a table together, conferred, when asked the same questions about the high death tolls and the illegal invasion, answered that the public just did not understand the complexities of the situation and that only the elite among them had an insight into the necessary steps in removing terrorists. At which point the Judge ordered a recess to the trial….to be continued.
