-->Bush Seeks Retroactive Laws to Protect Himself from War Crimes Prosecution

By Paul Craig Roberts

08/29/06"Information Clearing House" -- -- When I was a kid, John Wayne war movies gave us the message that America was the good guy, the white hat that fought the villain.

Alas, today the US and its last remaining non-coerced ally, Israel, are almost universally regarded as the bad guys over whom John Wayne would triumph. Today the US and Israel are seen throughout the world as war criminal states.

On August 23 the BBC reported that Amnesty International has brought war crimes charges against Israel for deliberately targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure as an"integral part" of Israel’s strategy in its recent invasion of Lebanon.

Israel claims that its aggression was"self-defense" to dislodge Hezbollah from southern Lebanon. Yet, Israel bombed residential communities all over Lebanon, even Christian communities in the north in which no Hezbollah could possibly have been present.

United Nations spokesman Jean Fabre reported that Israel’s attack on civilian infrastructure annihilated Lebanon’s development:"Fifteen years of work have been wiped out in a month."

Israel maintains that this massive destruction was unintended"collateral damage."

President Bush maintains that Israel has"a right to protect itself" by destroying Lebanon.

Bush blocked the attempt to stop Israel’s aggression and is, thereby, equally responsible for the war crimes. Indeed, a number of reports claim that Bush instigated the Israeli aggression against Lebanon.

Bush has other war crime problems. Benjamin Ferenccz, a recently said of Nazi war crimes at Nuremberg, recently said that President Bush should be tried as a war criminal side by side with Saddam Hussein for starting aggressive wars, Hussein for his 1990 invasion of Kuwait and Bush for his 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Under the Nuremberg standard, Bush is definitely a war criminal. The US Supreme Court also exposed Bush to war crime charges under both the US War Crimes Act of 1996 and the Geneva Conventions when the Court ruled in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld [ PDF] against the Bush administration’s military tribunals and inhumane treatment of detainees.

President Bush and his Attorney General agree that under existing laws and treaties Bush is a war criminal together with many members of his government. To make his war crimes legal after the fact, Bush has instructed the Justice (sic) Department to draft changes to the War Crimes Act and to US treaty obligations under the Geneva Conventions.

-->nur Interviews mit Weber, dass das Gold der BRD"sicher" sei?

Kein Gold weltweit ist soo unsicher, wie das der BRD, über 90% im Ausland
(und zu blöd oder USprogrammiert es still heimzuholen Etwa dort verkaufen und verdeckt im Osten Lieferung Ffm zurückkaufen.

Die BRD kann und wird - solange die Abhängigkeit fortdauert - nie von sich aus einen Goldstandard fordern, es sei denn, sie werde dazu aufgefordert.

Oder: Der Rechtsnachfolger der BRD bemühte sich ggf. darum, weil sie bereits untergegangen ist.

Die Wahl bei den Alternativen mag jeder nach seinen Zukunftserwartungen fällen.
Danke und
beste Grüsse
