Blair=war criminal?

Should the Blair criminals face the ICC?

In the wake of the murderous and cowardly attack on the people of Iraq, it now seems very clear that (unless crudely planted), no one is going to find any enormous caches of WMDs!

The fact that the UK/US knew full well there were no WMDs before hostilities commenced, was pretty clear when you consider the fact that UN weapons inspectors were not given more time to confirm the lack of WMDs, which obviously would have frustrated plans for was somewhat.

The UK supposedly falls within the jurisdiction of the ICC.............this being the case is there any reason whatsoever that Blair and his coterie, should not be charged and convicted of war crimes? If they are able to get away with this one, then it seems they have full autonomy to do exactly as they please, anywhere in the world at any time!

YES.
viz.
INTERNATIONAL DEMANDS REGARDING THE INVASION, OCCUPATION AND "RECONSTRUCTION" OF IRAQ

The US-lead invasion and occupation of Iraq is illegal
In 1946, the Nuremberg Tribunal judged that "To initiate a war of aggression is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole."

Consequently, we demand

An immediate end to the illegal occupation of Iraq by the United States and the United Kingdom and the immediate withdrawal and removal of all foreign troops, military advisers and representatives, military equipment and armaments.


We insist that

The Iraqi people have absolute and sovereign right to determine their own future and any decision about the need for international assistance rests solely with the Iraqis.

The United States' and United Kingdom's occupation of Iraq is illegal, as is any administrative authority or interim government established by the occupying forces. Therefore, any decisions made by the occupying forces or their representatives are not binding on the Iraqi people.

The UN-held escrow Iraqi oil account must not be used to foot the bill for reconstruction of the damage caused by the illegal war and UN sanctions. The funds must be held in trust for the Iraqi people until there is a legitimate and genuinely representative government elected by the people.

While we strongly support independent civil society assistance to and solidarity with the Iraqi people, the United Nations and its agencies, other governments and non-governmental organisations should not serve as a cover to legitimise, or profit from, the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq. Humanitarian aid must not be used to support or promote the military, political and economic objectives of the occupying forces.

The UN, other governments and NGOs should not use their own resources or
public money to replace humanitarian assistance, aid, reconstruction or other development activities which are the legal and moral responsibility of the invading and occupying forces, nor should they characterise as "aid" that which is the entitlement of the Iraqi people.

The Iraqi people have sovereignty over all natural resources and utilities. The invading and occupying forces or their private sector proxies have no right to make any decisions about who controls or benefits from the exploitation of natural resources or the construction and delivery of basic services and utilities.

The full costs of all reconstruction, compensation and reparations for the physical, social, economic, psychological, ecological, cultural and heritage destruction caused by the US-lead invasion of Iraq must be borne by the aggressors.

Reparations for the physical, social, economic, psychological, ecological, cultural and heritage loss, damage and suffering caused by the UN Security Council mandated sanctions must be borne by the Permanent Members of the UN Security Council.

In addition, reparations must be paid to all persons who have suffered physical, economic and psychological loss and trauma resulting from twelve years of sanctions and the 2003 invasion based on individual and collective claims and dispensed by an independent compensation tribunal.

We call for

A Peoples War Tribunal based on the Geneva Conventions and Nuremberg Tribunal principles and precedents to investigate and prosecute the war crimes of, amongst others, George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, Tommy Franks, Tony Blair, Jack Straw, and John Howard.

International sanctions on the aggressor nations for their illegal, preemptive attack on a sovereign nation.

The United States Government to desist from threats of force and use of force against all sovereign nations.

....But Bush and Blair have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for their invasion and plunder of Iraq, not indicted as war criminals.

You are quite right, this war was cranked up for over a year by Bush & Blair for the sole reason of ridding Iraq of it's Weapons of Mass Destruction. However, as we all know that was one wapper of a lie which needs to be exposed and people reminded of the fact.

I've re-vamped my website to reflect this, I am now targeting Blair personally, I suggest everyone does the same.
