      Sorry… you’re saying he isn’t a war criminal because he didn’t make the final decision even though he planned the whole thing? Really?

      Is Dick Cheney innocent despite being the architect of two wars that killed millions of people because George W. Bush had to say yes?

        No, I’m saying he isn’t the war criminal you think he is. Just as Dick Cheney, who can be accused of many things, didn’t make the decision to invade Iraq. Bush did.

            I said dick Cheney could be accused of many things, but giving orders to invade Iraq isn’t one of them.

              Except that’s exactly what he did. He was the architect. Architects don’t build houses, but it’s ultimately their design. If something goes wrong with the design, it’s not the construction company’s fault. You seem to think that if a house collapses because it was designed to be structurally unsound, it’s the fault of the person who bought the land.

              There would have been no secret bombing campaign if not for Kissinger and we wouldn’t have invaded Iraq without Cheney. They are absolutely, unequivocally war criminals.

                It is the fault of the person who ordered the house built.
