Now THAT'S a War Crime
It's interesting reading some progressives/liberals/democrats take on the bombing of the hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan.
Many of those on the left that support War Criminal Obama and potential war criminal Bernie Sanders, both of whom have supported the Afghanistan war, are calling it a war crime, rightly so.
Here's a typical sentiment from the moderate left:
"From what we know now, I believe the bombing of this hospital was a war crime and everyone in our military who was involved should be prosecuted for it. I believe there should be an objective investigation and if the evidence gathered continues to support the fact that our military knowingly bombed a hospital, those involved should be prosecuted and punished. No one person or country should be above the law.
I don't know how we make that happen, but I believe that is the right and just thing."
What these people have never understood or acknowledged is that the entire Afghanistan war has been a war crime since the beginning and has been filled with individual war crimes since then. How many wedding parties have been bombed by the U.S. in Afghanistan?
They won't talk about holding Obama accountable for war crimes, just the lowly soldiers who carried out the orders and maybe even their superior officers who gave the orders. They don't talk about holding Bush accountable for the Afghanistan war because it's the belief of the moderate left that 9/11 wasn't a false flag, the War OF Terror IS necessary as was attacking Afghanistan and staying there for 14 years and counting. They believe that the Iraq war was a war crime by Bush (again, but not Bush's Afghanistan war and the Neocon's Global War OF Terror based on their New Pearl Harbor) and the neocons only because they clearly lied, and they believe torture was a war crime because well, torture is torture. Duh.
Bush is a war criminal but nothing Obama has done in their eyes makes him a war criminal, not even bombing a hospital in Afghanistan, the country which Obama has chosen as Commander in Chief to continue. It doesn't even fucking occur to them.
They don't believe the Syria war is a war crime committed by Obama, or that the Libya war was a war crime committed by Obama, and that U.S. imperialism in general is one giant war crime.
But bomb a hospital with a western organization like Doctors without Borders and that will get them calling out a war crime against the soldiers that committed it.
On to the next war crime.
