Democrats, is Obama a war criminal?

Question

The list of leftists who have called Obama a war criminal is growing. Let's see, Andrew Sullivan:

The cloak of secrecy he is invoking is not protecting national security but protecting war crimes. And this is now inescapably his cloak. He is therefore a clear and knowing accessory to war crimes, and should at some point face prosecution as well, if the Geneva Conventions mean anything any more.

Chomsky, of course:

He’s involved in war crimes right now. For example, targeted assassinations are war crimes. That’s escalated quite sharply under Obama. If you look at WikiLeaks, there are a lot of examples of attacks on civilians.

And most recently, Ralph Nader:

"Why don't we say what's on the minds of many legal experts; that the Obama administration is committing war crimes and if Bush should have been impeached, Obama should be impeached,

Dennis Kuccinich is also calling for impeachment although he seems to have avoided "war crime" rhetoric. This is all extremely illuminating and illustrative of the malicious nonsense that is often directed against Israel. There is a saying that the fifth book of the Shulchan Aruch ("The Code of Jewish Law," in four volumes) is common sense. Common sense is, or should be, one of the articles of the Geneva Conventions also.

Now the UN

UN human rights boss questions U.S. on legality of bin Laden killing
Canada.com ^| May 3, 2011 | Steven Edwards

UNITED NATIONS — The UN's chief human rights official led calls by rights activist organizations on Tuesday for Washington to explain whether U.S. forces lawfully killed Osama bin Laden. The request by Navi Pillay, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, came even as the world body continues to falter over its multi-year bid to define terrorism...

On the U.S. action in Pakistan Sunday, Pillay agreed that bin Laden was a "very dangerous man" ... But she also said the United States had always "clearly stated they intended to arrest bin Laden if they could."

Admitting that taking bin Laden alive was "always going to be difficult," Pillay nevertheless signalled the United States needs to explain more about what happened in the compound....

Amnesty International said it was seeking "greater clarification" about what went on, while New York-based Human Rights Watch said "law enforcement" principles should have applied.

"If he wasn't shooting at the soldiers, the killing should be investigated," Brad Adams, Human Rights Watch Asia director, said in Bangkok at the launch of a report on Thailand.

"People are saying that justice has been done, but justice has not been done. Justice is when you arrest someone and put them on trial."...

Answer 1

he is just a plain old fool..

Answer 2

Anyone that believes that Obama is a criminal or a "fool" might as well be in the same camp as Al Qaeda. Bin Laden was the one that declared war on the US. We just happened to finish one of the battles that will soon terminate that terrorist organization from the face of the earth. Obama should be praised for his leadership, much in line with the praise he has received worldwide with the exception of the terrorists and their sympathizers. Good riddance, Osama.

Answer 4

"There is a saying that the fifth book of the Shulchan Aruch ("The Code of Jewish Law," in four volumes) is common sense. "



Funny, I was once taught by a rabbi who cited the 5th section of the Shulchan Aruch as a way of saying that some people just make up things as they go along (i.e. "That law can be found in the 5th section of the Shulchan Aruch").



Pretty much like the people you cite here.

Answer 5

The exact same liberal jerks that called Bush a war criminal are now using similar terms on Obama.

They talk about violating Pakistan's soverignty and shooting an unarmed amn rather than bring his to trial in a civilian court.



Will Obama and Biden be able to leave the country wilthout the risk of arrest?

Answer 6

CONnies and there mind's eye, for the final time, Barrack Hussein Obama isn't the 2d coming of christ. he's merely the President of the USA. sure, i visit in easy terms stand with the aid of using fact the UN accuses Obama of being a conflict criminal. If he broke the regulation he has to pay the fee. merely like everyone else. staggering link with the aid of the way. LOL

Answer 7

They're not wrong. But unfortunately in this case the ends justify the means. Also you can't arbitrarily enforce rules. If Bush gets away scott free for lying to the world and waging an unjust war that resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands all to benefit his military corporate interests then Obama shouldn't have to answer for taking out the head of a the terrorist organization behind 9/11.

Answer 8

He definitely is a war criminal,

Answer 9

President Obama is a gutsy hero.

Answer 10

Nope. Bin Laden killed 3000 innocent people on 911, in case you shrill, bug-eyed conservative trolls have forgotten.



Next question.
