Should Canada Indict Bush for War Crimes?

Not if they want to have an economy.

 

not if they want an independent nation...

 

Sure, worked well in Belgium.

 

People getting worked up about writings from The Red Star?

Sheesh...

 

No, Mel is.

Everyone else is getting worked up by Mel.

I was thinking...I know that is a bad thing, but hear me out.

Would the Pres sec service even allow anyone to detain the POTUS?
That would be a nasty showdown, high noon.

 

Good question. A friend of mine works for the Secret Service, and I'll be glad to ask him. (He was on Kerry's detail the last 2 weeks prior to the election, and I've been dying to ask him about the goose hunt, anyway).

I actually think Canada should indict Bob Goodenow and Gary Bettman for being the two most inflexible human beings on the planet.

 

The only reason they would detain Bush would be a leverage for a better exchange rate.

You know, I am beginning to think Mel is certifiable.

 

Exchange rate?

This must be the international monetary response to "stadium smack" or "spelling smack" because it always backfires.

You know, when Mel comes to visit the USA, his Euros make the US seem rather cheap. Yea, crazy like a fox.

 

Got the word back from my friend in the Secret Service (I was going to abbreviate that to "SS" and realized that might open a whole new can of worms).

Anyway, he told me that, first, if there was any chance at all for an incident like the one described to happen the trip would never leave.

Secondly, the Secret Service would in no way, shape, or form allow any foreign law enforcement officer to get remotely near enough POTUS to attempt to detain him.

 

British Pounds, actually. But the point stands.

 

I have trouble taking Canada seriously! I mean... this whole northern nation is about one more insult away from becoming the world's largest parking lot! I think we here in the United States need to start pumping our raw sewage north, as Canada seems to have lots of cesspools!

 

They can indict him without detaining him, can't they?


In any event, it ain't happening.

 

The Secret Service (they need a new name as they're not really secret) vs.


My money's on the guys guarding the president.

So what was up with the goose hunt?

 

Funny you should mention that. He was there, and he told me he'd let me know about it after he gets back from "Thanksgiving in Crawford". He's on the perimeter detail for the ranch, but this will be his first time assigned to anything having to do with the President. He's too far down the pecking order to be considered for Bush's personal detail so he's actually looking forward to it.

A funny aside: my friend is a HUGE Red Sox fan, and he was in the hallway when Kerry came out of his hotel room to "high five" his secret service guys, but he missed my friend! Not missed him as in "missed his hand", but missed him as in "he gave everyone else one but me".

 

That's it....obviously our neighbors to the north are not very patriotic. I say we force the UN to change Canada's name to Al-Qanada, and then we let the nukes fly.

 

If he's searched by the international court and CA would turn him over it would be legal...

 

I like that! Al-Qanada... fitting and appropriate!

 

Canada acted in excessive force in Serbia and Somalia. Even tortured civilians in Somalia itself. Yet, the soldiers got a hero's welcome home in there CFB's....aren't they under the ACT of crimes gainst humanity?

 

Well, why should Canadaians act like it'd seem patriotic to you? patriotic in your terms means that they do what is best for them, not what is best for the US...
btw, beeing patriotic would be considered something bad here in germany, I am proud to call me not patriotic as I don't put Germany above other countries in my mind...
I've seen lists of what would be essential for world-peace saying: abolishing patrioticy...

 

i didn't read the original post.

but if the Hague, the US Congress, the Supreme Court or the American people don't indict Bush for War Crimes, then the Canadians should. why not? he's a criminal after all...

 

I think the secret service could pretty much fend off Canada's military in its entirety. In the event that the Canuckle heads tried to detain our leader, we would just take him back.

 

A better question to ask is "Who's leg do I have to hump around here to get Mel indicted?".

"What's the charge, officer?"
