oh there were blunders. but a sham and pack of lies? no, sorry. and please look up the definition of genocide. you seem to be confused if you think it occured in afganistan or iraq (although it did happen under Saddam's rule)
check your facts mr complainforthesakeofcomplaining
i understand the exact definition of the word "Genocide", do you?
[spoiler]he international legal definition of the crime of genocide is found in Articles II and III of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide.
Article II describes two elements of the crime of genocide:
1) the mental element, meaning the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such", and
2) the physical element which includes five acts described in sections a, b, c, d and e. A crime must include both elements to be called "genocide."
Article III described five punishable forms of the crime of genocide: genocide; conspiracy, incitement, attempt and complicity.
Excerpt from the Convention on the Prevention and
Punishment of Genocide (For full text click here)
"Article II: In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.[/spoiler]
you don't have to wipe out the whole nation for genocide to have been committed. genocide is an act that every president has been party to since and including-LBJ right upto GWB and most likely, the next president will have his own enemy of freedom and liberty to deal with. (LBJ for those who dont know is Lyndon Baines Johnson).
every single president uses the same rhetoric, we are going in to safe guard american lives and restore democracy...what the hell does a president of a republic care about democracy?!?!
when a president says "safe guard american lives" what he's really saying is "killing a bunch of civis".
people have VERY short memorys, anyone know what happened in panama during bush seniors presidency, anyone know how many civis were killed and which parts of panama were targeted by the US military???
anyone know how the conflict in serbia/kosovo started (when i ask "do you know how the conflict in serbia/kosovo started" i am NOT talking about the bullcrap that came from the media), anyone know how many civis were killed by clinton??
you "naysayers" fail to learn anything because you do not recognize anything from the past even if its resent memory.
i say GWB all his top staff as well as Tony Blair and all his cabinet are guilty of the following:
Article III: The following acts shall be punishable:
(a) Genocide;
(b) Conspiracy to commit genocide;
(c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide;
(d) Attempt to commit genocide;
(e) Complicity in genocide. "
and as for a pack of lies...if you've seen some evidence that either/or afghanistan, iraq or bin laden was involved with 9/11 (that is the reason we are there...yes?) then please share it with the world!

that was Neville Chamberlain mate, and recently i've come across evidence that Chamberlain was doing as he was told, meaning others behind the scenes were pulling the strings on appeasement in order for the world to be fooled into thinking that everything short of war had been tried and failed and thus give even more righteousness to the war.
its not 100% and its only from 1 source so don't take it as i am saying its 100%, its NOT.
and no mr liquid, i do not complain simply for the fun of it, if i complain its because i have VERY good reason to complain
