George W. Bush is exporting death and moral decay all over the world.
GlobeAndMail: "Canadian troops in Afghanistan have been told the Geneva Conventions and Canadian regulations regarding the rights of prisoners of war don't apply to Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters captured on the battlefield.
That decision strips detainees of key rights and protections under the rules of war, including the right to be released at the end of the conflict and not to be held criminally liable for lawful combat.
Canada, following the Bush administration's lead in the United States, had decreed that there are no lawful combatants among the enemy in the current conflict and no screening was required."
WSW: "US antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan denounced the Australian government for its participation in the Iraq war and called for the release of David Hicks from Guantánamo Bay and the closure of the notorious US military prison camp at a demonstration in Melbourne last Friday.
Sheehan rejected US and Australian government claims that Guantánamo inmates did not deserve civil rights because they were illegal enemy combatants. The four-and-a-half-year incarceration of Hicks, in violation of Geneva Conventions and his basic legal rights, has been fully endorsed by the Howard government.
'George Bush and John Howard and Tony Blair are illegal combatants', she said, 'there's nothing about this war on terror that is legal. These people perpetuate the torture and the killing and they're still allowed to run free and live in society."
Guardian: "Tony Blair has long stated that British troops are in that country to establish democratic institutions and guarantee security and prosperity. Since security and prosperity are as distant as ever, democracy is vitiated. Rising violence has rendered the policy incoherent. Blair and his colleagues must rely for public support on an increasingly false narrative of their purpose, as false as the reasons for the original invasion. They are prisoners of denial.
The occupation is plainly not bringing peace to Iraq nor is it preventing civil war, however defined. Almost all coalition forces are now hunkered down in their barracks protecting themselves."

The credibility of the Bush regime has sunk to rock-bottom. The president of the United States is a criminal and a disaster for America and the world.
The text on the picture is a Freudian slip, but a significant one.
Bush stole the elections
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in Rolling Stone:
"But despite the media blackout, indications continued to emerge that something deeply troubling had taken place in 2004. Nearly half of the 6 million American voters living abroad never received their ballots - or received them too late to vote - after the Pentagon unaccountably shut down a state-of-the-art Web site used to file overseas registrations. A consulting firm called Sproul & Associates, which was hired by the Republican National Committee to register voters in six battleground states, was discovered shredding Democratic registrations. In New Mexico, which was decided by 5,988 votes, malfunctioning machines mysteriously failed to properly register a presidential vote on more than 20,000 ballots. Nationwide, according to the federal commission charged with implementing election reforms, as many as 1 million ballots were spoiled by faulty voting equipment - roughly one for every 100 cast.
The reports were especially disturbing in Ohio, the critical battleground state that clinched Bush's victory in the electoral college. Officials there purged tens of thousands of eligible voters from the rolls, neglected to process registration cards generated by Democratic voter drives, shortchanged Democratic precincts when they allocated voting machines and illegally derailed a recount that could have given Kerry the presidency. A precinct in an evangelical church in Miami County recorded an impossibly high turnout of ninety-eight percent, while a polling place in inner-city Cleveland recorded an equally impossible turnout of only seven percent. In Warren County, GOP election officials even invented a nonexistent terrorist threat to bar the media from monitoring the official vote count."
Bush is part of a criminal organization, the GOP
The recent scandals almost always involve republican officials. Congress (predominantly GOP) is corrupt.
Bush promotes torture and abuse of human rights
BagNewsNotes: On May 5th Bush was seen hobnobbing with General Michael Hagee, the Marine Corps Commandant who knew about the Haditha incident within days after it happened.
Bush breaches national and international law
LATimes: "The Senate Intelligence Committee is seeking to force the Bush administration to disclose details about secret overseas prisons thought to be run by the CIA, part of a broader effort by lawmakers to compel the White House to provide more information on sensitive intelligence programs."
Bush is a failure
Bush has managed to create a huge deficit, he is a pathological liar and as Commander-in-Chief he is a disaster.
Restoring the draft won't save him from a debacle in Iraq and Afghanistan. The American army has become a murder machine. For democracy, freedom? No, for the benefits of the war profiteers.
Bush is isolated internationally
While he is accusing other countries of developing WMDs, he reserves the right for himself to develop new nuclear weapons.
WMDCommission: "The world must aim at achieving a ban on both possession and use of nuclear weapons, in the same way as bans that apply to biological and chemical weapons. All states - even the great powers - must prepare to live without nuclear weapons and other weapons of terror."
Conference.
