Obama Seeks Red Cross Help On War Crime Charges Against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers (Traduccisn al Espaqol abajo)
Russian Foreign Ministry reports to President Medvedev are stating today
that US Presidential candidate Barack Obama has sent one of his top aides
named Valerie Jarrett to meet with officials from the International
Committee of the Red Cross, in Geneva, Switzerland, to what is being
described in these reports as the %u2018preliminary stage%u2019 to begin actions in
the International Court of Justice charging the present United States
President, Vice President and former US Defense Secretary with war crimes.
As we had previously written about in our October 15, 2005 report, the
International Committee of the Red Cross opened in that year a War Crimes
Portfolio alleging that President Bush, Vice President Cheney and Defense
Secretary Rumsfeld, and other US Officials, were in violation of Articles 3
and 4 of the Geneva Convention and could be tried for Crimes Against
Humanity. - Reply to this comment
- IT IS OBVIOUS THAT OBAMA HAS NOT BOUGHT INTO THE MIDDLE EAST LOBBIES.
WITH ASSOCIATIONS WITH THE LIKES OF PFLEGER, "TONY" McPEAK, AHMED YOUSEF, "HAMAS", RASHID KHALIDI, HATEM EL-HADY, AND OF COURSE THE ANTI JEWISH REV. WRIGHT, FARRAKHAN, ONE CAN SEE WHY OBAMA HAS NOT BOUGHT INTO THE MIDDLE EAST LOBBIES. HMMMMMMMMM
GOD "BLESS" AMERICA. NOT "G D" AMERICA. - Reply to this comment
- ISRAEL IS NOT NOR HAS NO BEARING ON THE NATIONAL SECURITY OF AMERICA!
THERE IS NOTHING IN THE MIDDLE EAST AMERICA NEEDS!
GO BACK TO ISRAEL OR SAUDI OR EGYPT PALISTINE OR WHERE EVER! JUST LEAVE AMERICA OUT OF YOUR THOUSAND YEAR OLD PROBLEMS!
IF THE AUTHOR WAS CONCERNED ABOUT AMERICA HE WOULD WANT ALL DUEL PASSPORT HOLDING ISRAELI NEOCONS WHO HAVE PROMOTED AMERICA INTO THE MIDDLE EAST WARS HELD FOR WAR CRIMES CHARGES!
THIS IS JUST ANOTHER NRO SLAM JOB AGAINST OBABM BECAUSE HE IS NOT BOUGHT BY THE MIDDLE EAST LOBBIES!
AMERICA STAND UP OR SHUT UP! - Reply to this comment
- Ummm...I somehow suspect that the Jews will be feeling a bit differently about supporting Mr. McCain after his fellow conservative Republican, President Bush, called both Mr. Obama and the Israeli government itself "appeasers" recently.
Mr. Bush apparently doesn''t approve of Israel''s new open diplomatic dialog with the "terrorist Syrians", in their quiet behind-the-scenes talks recently.
Of course, Mr. Bush doesn''t seem to know or care much about "diplomacy" at all, anyway. That stuff is just too repulsively intellectual and weak-seeming for him, it seems. - Reply to this comment
- PPS oops - that was supposed to say a permanent scrapping of the Iranian nuclear program and access to inspections in Iran . . .

- PS Like what I''d be interested to hear from Jewish Americans is whether they would advocate speaking with Ahmadinejad if they such talks were virtually guaranteed to lead to a permanent scrapping of their nuclear program combined with full access for UN inspectors (assuming that''s possible). Or is there some other perspective or concern that that position maybe didn''t factor in that might need to be considered?

I''m going to take a third perspective, which would be that I''m like 1000% confident that no matter who ends up in the White House, they''re going to feel a moral obligation to look out for Israel given the events which lead to it''s creation. I think we can all appreciate how alarming it must feel to have even so much as rhetoric aimed at Israel let alone attacks.
That being said, Barack''s now got a 50% chance of becoming the next President. So what''s the point of making him jump through hoops and forcing him to answer this and that about his weakest and least meaningful associates? Does it REALLY help to demonstrate his interest in protecting Israel or does this particular person at the NRO not really speak for most Jewish-Americans as far as believing these ''questions'' shed light on to what extent President Obama might feel a sense of duty towards protecting Israel?
This piece comes across as just another excuse to trash Dems with the conclusion being the same as all the other NRO pieces - that Dems are ***. I don''t find it very productive if that''s the true goal. - Reply to this comment

- I am amazed that the Republicans think this guilt-by-association stuff is still working. But, I suppose they need to try a newer version of the old we- should-hate-and-fear-everything-except-your-fetus *** they have been pulling.

- Article: "Jewish voters are likely to start thinking less about the senator%u2019s speeches and more about the company he keeps."
I think its hard to be black in America and not be associated with thinking black''s who have sympathy for the Palestinians plight (which seems to resemble that of American blacks as well). It doesn''t mean you''re anti-Israel, it just means you''re not a neocon. Neocons, by invading Iraq, have made Israel LESS safe (or didn''t neocons realize that Saddam Hussein was one of Irans major power-checks in the Middle East?).
As such, it would be hard to do worse by Israel than Bush has done the last 5 years. - Reply to this comment
- Yep. Judge a man by the company he keeps. Obama keeps horrible company. God help us if he and his crowd of hate-America-firsters get elected.

Printing malicious stories that can be proven untrue is called ''SLANDER''. It would make NRO liable to suit. You think they''d take a chance like that? This is AMERICA''s NEW HERO !!! CLINTON ''08!!!!! - Reply to this comment

- LMAO. The NRO is just priceless. I would hope that the Jewish voters would not be happy about the far-right, bigoted, National Review, speaking for them and how they will vote.

- Oh Sabrina...I''m so surprised that CBSNews would hire you to represent them. It is very obvious that you are ignorant and uninformed of the facts. You really should be careful in what you write about a politician. Whether you like the candidate or not, it will come a time when you WILL need them. The FACT is that Obama is winning and will be YOUR next President of the United States of America. Deal with it or your little career just may be over or we''ll probably see you with a lot of chocolate on your nose to even get a job. SMILE...I am!

- Poor Sabrina. I''m surprised she had the nerve to publish this drivel off as journalism. Perhaps she doesn''t realize that her time would have been better spent taking a shower or walking a dog.

- Thanks SABRINA and CBS for having th Guts to print this story. most of what was said i have heard about OB preacher and it took ob quite a while to disowned him after the preacher kept open his mouth and ob seen that it was hurting some. plus the other company he keeps. but some i have not heard. i voted for OB in the primary before i heard lot of bad things about him. i am a rester DEM. so i would have voted for Hilary in the prim. if i new everything about OB then. But McCain is the best for Security he will try to win the wars in Iraq and AFG. but either DEM. would let the use be defeated like the DEM. in Vietnam. in 1964 the war could have been won i know i was there. but the DEMS did not have the GUTS to let us fight like we should have just like the DEM. now no GUTS. But lot of the Americans want that just like when we were in Vietnam. Most of the Americans that are Hollowing the Most have never been to war or have the Guts to go.
