All Bark, No Bite

After a long spell away from the blog, I had a spare moment yesterday to check some of my weird and whacky news sources. Imagine my surprise (NOT) at this discovery, the very first site I chose to look at. If you are not slightly disturbed by the following, DO be, as this is what the moonbats worldwide will endorse with vigour:

WTI Demands Bush And Blaýr Indýctment At ICC
Tuesday, 2 August 2005, 12:54 pm
Press Release: World Tribunal on Iraq
World Trýbunal On Iraq Demands Bush And Blaýr Indýctment At Internatýonal Crýmýnal Court

Interesting headline, don't you agree?

1 August 2005, Istanbul, Turkey – The Final Statement by the Jury of Conscience of the World Tribunal on Iraq calls for the International Criminal Court (ICC) to indict, prosecute, and punish the perpetrators and collaborators for the aggression against Iraq and the related international crimes arising from the subsequent occupation of the country. The statement lists the violations in international law committed during and after this war and also provides recommendations for the prevention of future illegal and illegitimate action.

Now that I have your complete attention, would it not be more sensible for both President Bush and Prime Minister Blair to start taking real affirmative action to justify the actions by groups such as this? My humble opinion may mean absolutely diddly squat, however, at this point, both mens careers being final terms for both, let them stand up and be recognised in history as saviours of freedom, not squanderers of power. The political party animal attitude has to go. They both have nothing to lose but their belief in their cause, and if they don't have the balls to do the job right they should both never have attempted to free the Iraqis in the first place. Why do they not say or act with the attitude of, "WE have nothing to lose now but the right course of action , so let's do the job properly?" MSM and liberals be damned; there is only one way to secure control over these Islamic murderers.

The Statement relies upon the extensive testimony given in written and oral form by international law experts during the Culminating Session of the World Tribunal on Iraq (WTI) in Istanbul between 23-27 June 2005. It also reflects the testimony and submissions on related issues of war crimes and the failure of the United Nations to protect Iraq against aggression.

Laughable, is it not? Crimes to protect Iraq against whom? Where were these fucktards when 10's of thousands were being murdered by Saddam? To hold themselves as being capable (their own minds may regard their superirority, me, NOPE) of being able to discern injustices is ludicrous.

The Chair of the Jury of Consience in Istanbul, Arundhati Roy, said in India “We, the Jury of Conscience, hope that the scope and specificity of these recommendations will lay the groundwork for a world whose future cannot be shaped by multi-national corporations and Heads of State in violation of the explicit and stated will of the people they claim to represent, where journalists and intellectuals will not remain mute, where human security will prevail over the drive for political, economic and cultural hegemony, the insatiable greed of the military-industrial complex and the quest for corporate profit.”

And, as usual, the typical spouting of corporate gain and allied country leaders wanting to be dictators is used as a mantra. However, the word "oil" is not mentioned here. Why? Could it be that, without oil, there would be little or no wealth at all held by any middle eastern country or citizens? How many millionaires and billionaires of Islamic descent are there due to the fact that the western corporations taught them how to mine their liquid gold? As for the MSM and intellectuals being mute, this statement to me is the most disturbing of the above. Since Vietnam, the MSM/intellectuals/actors/actresses have been on a roll, crushing all forms of patriotism and belief in their countries, fighting wars for any against their governments, both vehemently and deceptively corrupting right to wrong, wrong to right, portraying scenarios to their audiences that corrupt morality from within. I found a few of the Jury named at the World Tribunal site along with the supposed charges and courses of action they want. Go read it in all it's glory.

I. Overview of Findings:

1. The invasion and occupation of Iraq was and is illegal. The reasons given by the US and UK governments for the invasion and occupation of Iraq in March 2003 have proven to be false. Much evidence supports the conclusion that a major motive for the war was to control and dominate the Middle East and its vast reserves of oil as a part of the US drive for global hegemony.

2. Blatant falsehoods about the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and a link between Al Qaeda terrorism and the Saddam Hussein régime were manufactured in order to create public support for a �preemptive� assault upon a sovereign independent nation.

3. Iraq has been under siege for years. The imposition of severe inhumane economic sanctions on 6 August 1990, the establishment of no-fly zones in the Northern and Southern parts of Iraq, and the concomitant bombing of the country were all aimed at degrading and weakening Iraq�s human and material resources and capacities in order to facilitate its subsequent invasion and occupation. In this enterprise the US and British leaderships had the benefit of a complicit UN Security Council.

4. In pursuit of their agenda of empire, the Bush and Blair governments blatantly ignored the massive opposition to the war expressed by millions of people around the world. They embarked upon one of the most unjust, immoral, and cowardly wars in history.

II. Charges

On the basis of the preceding findings and recalling the Charter of the United Nations and other legal documents indicated in the appendix, the jury has established the following charges.

A. Against the Governments of the US and the UK

1. Planning, preparing, and waging the supreme crime of a war of aggression in contravention of the United Nations Charter and the Nuremberg Principles.
Evidence for this can be found in the leaked Downing Street Memo of 23rd July, 2002, in which it was revealed: �Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.� Intelligence was manufactured to willfully deceive the people of the US, the UK, and their elected representatives.

2. Targeting the civilian population of Iraq and civilian infrastructure by intentionally directing attacks upon civilians and hospitals, medical centers, residential neighborhoods, electricity stations, and water purification facilities. The complete destruction of the city of Falluja in itself constitutes a glaring example of such crimes.

Finally, after all these crimes, causes, and justifications from this group, they post an explanatory note. Why? To confuse, of course. If you read it, they are using the laws of International peace as being their justification, however, note in the second paragraph an ad-hoc disclaimer of their not being a body composed of jurists and international law experts; and ask yourself, "Who are they to be laying such claims against the USA and United Kingdom or President Bush or Prime Minister Blair?" Their group is in place to smear and lay blame on everyone but the terrorists that are doing 99% of the killings of Iraqis in Iraq.

International Law Appendix
Explanatory Note

This international law appendix is intended to back up the Jury Statement that rests its assessments primarily on a moral and political appraisal of the Iraq War. The Statement relies upon the extensive testimony given in written and oral form by international law experts who have a world-class scholarly reputation during the Istanbul Culminating Session of the World Tribunal on Iraq (WTI). It also reflects the testimony and submissions on related issues of war crimes and the failure of the United Nations to protect Iraq against aggression.

The Jury of Conscience was not a body composed of jurists or international law experts. It did not hear arguments supporting the legality of the invasion of Iraq as would have been made before a judicial body under the authority of either the state or an international institution acting on behalf of the international community. The World Tribunal on Iraq throughout all of its session proceeded from a sense of moral and political outrage of concerned citizens from all over the world, with respect to the war. The Tribunal was not interested in a debate solely as to legality. The legal issues were relevant to the extent that they added weight to the moral and political purpose of the Tribunal, which was to expose the Iraq War as the crime it is, appealing to and drawing upon the deep bonds that link us all in our humanity. Therefore the Tribunal sought testimony and evidence to call into question the mantle of respectability thrown over the Iraq War by the aggressors, and the false impression disseminated by mainstream media, that the Iraq War was in any sense justified by political circumstances, moral considerations, or legal analysis.

So what does it all mean? Absolutely nothing. There is one element missing from the "plan:" They have no army to enforce their "rulings." Only the moonbats will wail triumphantly, "Gotcha!" But court rulings only have weight when there are men with guns to back them up. So this is nothing more than an exercise in mental masturbation, something the Left is VERY good at.

One thing is certain, however: Their "sympathy for the devil" attitude will most certainly embolden the enemy further, resulting in more deaths of Allied troops and innocent Iraqis.
