sylvester,

"US war crimes case 'going ahead'"

Thank you. I'm glad I only have to argue with idiots like yourself. You're such a bald faced liar. You've completely misrepresented your original post on the subject.

In Post 16801 you said.
"The War crimes court is coming after Bush the fascist lying chimp losses in 04"
Message 18919792

Anotherwards, you were alleging that the a criminal court case would be proceeding against George Bush.

When I challenged you on this assertion you came up with a link with the headline, "A Belgian lawyer is planning to press ahead with a war crimes lawsuit against US General Tommy Franks"

First, this has nothing to do with George Bush. Secondly, this allegation against Tommy Franks is not a criminal trial. At best it amounts to a civil suit against Tommy Franks for monetary damages not criminal penalties. It's apparent that you're not from the USA or you would know that there is a difference between a civil trial and a criminal one.

I might add that the case against Franks is dubious at best. The Belgian law he is being tried under is highly contentious and has no jurisdiction beyond the borders of Belgian. Furthermore, to my knowledge, it is unprecedented to try to obtain civil damages for acts of war. At least it is in the United States.

To top it off, it's not clear what kind of evidence this lawyer will be presenting. At this moment in time his case is an unknown.

So, let's add this up.

1) A dubious Belgian law
2) No legal precedent.
3) Not a criminal proceding
4) George Bush not being tried.
5) 'Evidence' against Franks not made public.

I hope you feel as stupid as you look.
