[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 5239667, member: 56035"] Ralph Nader: And then the accountability issue. Like, now they're talking about bringing Putin before the International Criminal Court, accusing him of war crimes, which he committed of course, but there was no accusation against Bush and Cheney and his successors in terms of war crimes. The International Court, the New York Times, and the Washington Post don't even mention it because the parlance on Iraq is, yeah, it didn't turn out the way we wanted it; it was, quote, "a mistake". That's what Hillary Clinton calls it, a mistake. She voted for the Iraq war--a mistake. And of course a lot of the slaughter occurred in Afghanistan as well. People forget that in the first move against Iraq under George Herbert Walker Bush, where they drove the Iraqi soldiers out of Kuwait and back to Baghdad, they went overboard. They blew up the electrical system and drinking water system. And then during these air raids, over 600 huddling children, men and women, were in a shelter, an air-raid shelter deep underground, and the precision munitions of George Herbert Walker Bush somehow found a missile and it went right down the chute and incinerated over 600 people. Of course, that's forgotten. Chris Hedges: All the shock and awe. It was 3,000 bombs dropped almost exclusively on civilian areas that killed over 7,000 non-combatants in the first two months of the war. Yeah, it's all forgotten. And in fact, it's even worse. Condoleezza Rice was on Fox News and this host, Harris Faulkner, argued that when you invade a sovereign nation, that's a war crime, and Rice answered, “it's certainly against every principle of international law and international order.” And that is why throwing the book at them now in terms of economic sanctions and punishments is also a part of it. This just is almost unbelievable given the fact that of course preemptive war; when Russia does it, it's a war crime, but we did it so overtly. And I just want to add that the invasion of Iraq was based on lies and falsifications. The expansion of NATO, and I was in Eastern Europe in 1989 as a reporter covering the breakup of the Soviet bloc and the USSR, that the expansion of NATO is not a lie. The expansion of NATO is a direct provocation.
