I'm still waiting for the left to bring Bush up on formal charges.
Of course that would mean that all of those on the left that authorized military force would be guilty too.
It's not up to the 'left' to bring war crimes charges against the president. That's for the World Court to do. The democrats can only vote to impeach Bush. But thanks to spineless republicans, that will never happen. And in fairness there are democrats spineless on the matter too.
The US does not recognize the jurisdiction of the world court, the court with jurisdiction in this matter, b/c the US is already on the docket of that court for alleged terrorist war crimes perpetrated by the Reagan/Bush administration for the mining of Nicaraguan Harbors back in the Iran/Contra Scandal.
How are the democrats guilty of anything besides poor judgment in trusting the president's judgment?
The Congress authorized Bush, as commander and chief of the military, to use force, if necessary, to compel Iraq's compliance with UN resolution 1441 to disarm.
Iraq was complying with Res 1441 starting in 2002 by letting the WMD inspectors in to do their work and voluntarily providing the inspectors with requested materials.
Bush ordered the attack in 2003 anyways irrespective of Iraq's compliance with the Resolution.
Do you see what I'm saying?
Bush misused the Congressional grant of authority to use force to enforce a resolution that the Iraqis were already complying with.
It was Bush's call to make re the triggering of use of force and he broke the law to do it. The democrats share no such blame.
