If you don't agree with me, then provide a decent argument. Is that really so hard for you rhett o rick Jun 2015 #19
War criminals belong in the dock at the Hague DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2015 #20
So you agree with me? nm rhett o rick Jun 2015 #23
No, I do not believe that Barack Obama is a war criminal and belongs in the dock at the Hague. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2015 #27
So give me your justification for killing people including innocent children with drones. nm rhett o rick Jun 2015 #52
No, the requirement is for you to provide the international law that was broken. stevenleser Jun 2015 #71
Well... MannyGoldstein Jun 2015 #83
Thanks for the link Manny. And Amnesty International isn't the only one that believes drone rhett o rick Jun 2015 #101
None of those things you mentioned are war crimes. You want them to be, but they aren't. stevenleser Jun 2015 #32
Thank you Steven. nt sheshe2 Jun 2015 #61
Surprise Surprise.. those going off the deep end don't know what they're talking about. Cha Jun 2015 #64
It's a wonder how people can construct things in their minds treestar Jun 2015 #78
Exactly. See my #88 below. This is one of those things that a certain Progressive segment has stevenleser Jun 2015 #89
True, we had legitimate reasons to go into Afghanistan. None for Iraq. Rex Jun 2015 #119
I suspect that Amnesty International has the address MannyGoldstein Jun 2015 #84
It might expedite the process if you made the complaint and copied it here for maximum attention DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2015 #86
Hey Rhett. sheshe2 Jun 2015 #12

Perfect. sheshe2 Jun 2015 #16
Sorry but this was posted in GD. He has a nice smile, a nice family and nice dogs. rhett o rick Jun 2015 #22
See my #32 above. What war crimes? List the specific International statutes he broke or stevenleser Jun 2015 #34
LOL. As expected, there's no response. greatauntoftriplets Jun 2015 #87

Ask Bernie if he plans to prosecute any Bush, Cheney or Obama if he is elected. Sheepshank Jun 2015 #97
Do you support the President's drone killing program? Where we kill 49 innocent people for every rhett o rick Jun 2015 #100
that isn't an answer...its a deflection with another question. Sheepshank Jun 2015 #102
So I assume that you support drone killing. Can you provide any justification at all? nm rhett o rick Jun 2015 #110
Clearly, you forgot to find out if Bernie intends to prosecute for war crimes if elected? Sheepshank Jun 2015 #111
I was discussing drone kills. You refuse to commit to whether you support Obama's position. rhett o rick Jun 2015 #112
ahh the committment/purity test? Typical tactic for deflecting Sheepshank Jun 2015 #114
If you wish to know how Sen Sanders stands on a certain issue, you are free to look it rhett o rick Jun 2015 #115
too bad you think tht asking for Bernie's stand is attacking Sheepshank Jun 2015 #116
Now I get it. You really do take stands on issues but keep them secret. rhett o rick Jun 2015 #120
of course you're done....Bernie has let you down. He won't prosecute war criminals Sheepshank Jun 2015 #121
I figure if you will not discuss issues I won't bother with you. Go try your silly rationalizations rhett o rick Jun 2015 #122
you are the one who raise the issue of prosecuting war criminals Sheepshank Jun 2015 #123
Great question. sheshe2 Jun 2015 #107

The point is that we talk about trashing the president instead of holding him accountable for his rhett o rick Jun 2015 #45
Bernie Sanders said he would probably still use drones as President, but not as much. phleshdef Jun 2015 #47
Really? "he would probably"? Wow. That is powerful. If he does illegally use drones and kills rhett o rick Jun 2015 #50
has he objected to Obama using them ? JI7 Jun 2015 #53
If you want to have a discussion, give me statements and not questions. How do you feel rhett o rick Jun 2015 #55
if the President is murdering innocent people shouldn't Sanders call him out on it ? JI7 Jun 2015 #57
The President admitted that some innocent people were being killed via his drone rhett o rick Jun 2015 #91
" if the President is murdering innocent people shouldn't Sanders call him out on it ?" Sheepshank Jun 2015 #104
And I asked if you supported the drone killing program with a 2% kill accuracy. rhett o rick Jun 2015 #109
Exactly. This whole drone thing is ridiculous. treestar Jun 2015 #79

I can't wait until he is asked whether he would use them against ISIS or Al Qaeda stevenleser Jun 2015 #72
Do you think the president is authorized to unilaterally kill people he believes are members rhett o rick Jun 2015 #90
Al Qaeda has attacked us and the UN has designated both Al Qaeda and ISIS as criminal entities. stevenleser Jun 2015 #92
The UN confirmed that those groups are criminal entities. That does not authorize rhett o rick Jun 2015 #94
Once again, since the UN declared those groups criminals, it's not unilateral. Second, who says stevenleser Jun 2015 #95
Again the UN has designated the groups as criminal. They do not, as far as I know, rhett o rick Jun 2015 #96
The UN depends on member states to carry out their resolutions. The UN has no army or police force stevenleser Jun 2015 #124

Will you explain why you don't want international law to have any weight or meaning? stevenleser Jun 2015 #127
I do not support Pres Obama's drone killing program. Why would you? Do you have rhett o rick Jun 2015 #133
