Desmond Tutu: Bush and Blair Must Stand Trial For War Crimes
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, September 2, 2012, 4:57 PM
No wonder Obama likes him so much.
Far left loon Desmund Tutu called for the trial of George W. Bush and Tony Blair for liberating Iraq from the Saddam Hussein regime… 9 Years ago. Tutu wants them tried in The Hague.
Leftist loon Desmond Tutu pulled out of a peace conference this week in protest of Tony Blair’s participation.
Iranian Press TV News reported:
South African Nobel Laureate Desmond Tutu has called for the trial of former US President George W. Bush and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair for their role in the Iraq war.
“The immorality of the United States and Great Britain’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003, premised on the lie that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, has destabilized and polarized the world to a greater extent than any other conflict in history,” Archbishop Desmond Tutu wrote in an article in The Observer on Sunday.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner called for the trial of the pair at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.
Tutu added that, instead of recognizing the sophistications and issues of the world, “the then-leaders of the US and UK fabricated the grounds to behave like playground bullies and drive us further apart.”
He further argued that, the suffering and loss of the victims of the war were beyond the killing fields, “in the hardened hearts and minds of members of the human family across the world.”
Tony Blair, however, responded to Tutu in a statement saying that “this is the same argument we have had many times with nothing new to say.”
At least he didn’t bash Israel for abusing Arabs again.

Poor old Tutu has gone bat-bats. The poison of Collectivism rots the brain.
US Navy Corpseman commented:
This validates the notion that the Nobel Prize is worthless now – look at all the loons that have accomplished nothing that strut about with their mantle of importance. Birds of a feather . . . . .
Capitalist Infidel commented:
I didn’t see Tutu calling for Obama to be tried at the Hague for the thousands slaughtered in Egypt and Libya. If he doesn’t than he’s just your typical radical left wing extremist hypocrite.
Facauwee Tribe commented:
I guess he was alright with Saddam torturing, raping and killing all those Iraqis. Mubarack and Qaddafi had to go for killing their people, but Saddam, hey, it’s cool. WTF!
song of the south commented:
Do I really care what this senile old man thinks? Hasn’t got the intelligence that Bush or Blair has in their little fingers.Pathetic fool.
Kenny Solomon commented:
That op-ed from Mr. Tutu didn’t come from ‘out of the blue’.
Do you know about what’s going on in Guatemala ?
The nation has been in the news lately.
US Marines are on the ground there.
Yeah.
Seems as if ‘somebody’ supposedly signed a “treaty” with Guatemala too.
Along with that, Mr. Sperisen got arrested in Geneva the other day.
T.R.I.A.L. is involved.
If you don’t know who they are, it’s the same folks who – surprise ! – are doing everything they can to bring George W. Bush and Tony Blair to The Hague and have them (already pre-convicted), tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
This is actually ICR2P.
They’ve upped the ante.
Please suspend your disbelief about things going on right in front of you and completely lose the “it can’t happen here” mentality, then click here and read it all the way through.
It can happen here…… and it is.
Tool up.

Put a tire filled with gasoline around his neck and set it on fire and…ooooooops, my bad, that was his WIFE who did that.
Opaobie commented:
…sorry, it was Winnie Mandella.
Necklacing “sentences” were sometimes handed down against alleged criminals by “people’s courts” established in black townships as a means of enforcing their own judicial system. Necklacing was also used to punish members of the black community who were perceived as collaborators with the government. These included black policemen, town councillors and others, as well as their relatives and associates. The practice was often carried out in the name of the ANC, and Winnie Mandela, then-wife of the imprisoned Nelson Mandela and a senior member of the ANC, even made statements that endorsed its use
Patty commented:
Both Nobel Peace Prize winners.
They gave one to Obama for what he will do in the future. And what Desmond proposes to do What to Bush and Blair, The Muslim political party Al Jama-ah has already announced that it will attempt to arrest Blair when he arrives in Johannesburg for “crimes against humanity”.
I would say, the Nobel Peace Prize is a joke.

Multitude commented:
Apparently Tutu isn’t aware of our drone-wielding predator sovereign who kills those he alone deems not worthy of life, without any charge, court, trial or jury. For if he did, he’d be an utter hypocrite.
Lyle commented:
Desmond Tutu is nothing except a loudmouthed hypocrite global Marxist and shakedown artist.
He should be in prison along with Carter, the Mandela’s (Winnie & Nelson), Clinton, Ramsey Clark, Jane Fonda, almost every president of France, Vincente Fox, Hugo Chavez, and Obama.
Patty commented:
Last week, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, addressed an audience in Stellenbosch and called for a wealth tax to be imposed on all white South Africans. Over the last week, newspapers have been flooded with outrage letters about what a racist Tutu is, and how he should be stripped of his Nobel Peace prize. But is his proposition really that outrageous?
Consider the essence of Tutu’s call: white South Africans, regardless of whether they supported the apartheid regime or not, benefited from its policies. The fact that this benefit was unfair, is one that cannot be refuted. The Archbishop’s call last week, is an attempt to make amends for that unfair advantage.
If one considers the corporate world, unethical behaviour that results in unfair benefit is punished by fines – take, for example, Pioneer Foods who were fined R195M for their role in the bread price-fixing saga in 2010. The only lot that expressed anything vaguely resembling outrage then, was Pioneer Foods. Even in that case, the facts were irrefutable.
Applying that principle, however, to many individuals is not quite so simple. The obvious point of distinction is that not all whites benefited equally from apartheid. Surely then, it would be unfair to impose an equal penalty on all whites – wealth tax or otherwise.

Bill Clinton on Obama: ‘A Few Years Ago, This Guy Would Have Been Carrying Our Bags’
Former President Bill Clinton tried to get former senator Ted Kennedy to endorse Hillary Clinton for president in the 2008 election by describing Barack Obama this way: “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.”
This anecdote is revealed in a New Yorker article on the relationship between Bill Clinton and Obama:
Tim Russert told me that, according to his sources, Bill Clinton, in an effort to secure an endorsement for Hillary from Ted Kennedy, said to Kennedy, “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.”
Clinton is giving a keynote address at the Democratic convention this week in Charlotte, North Carolina

Just a reminder if anyone forgot this.

He’s just another anti American, Marxist, U.N’er that respects Dictators, and not Democracy.
