Jankers never looked so good

[BEagle]

Prefer hundreds of our boys to die instead because you so wanted to wrap the enemy commanders in cotton wool that you left them be instead of playing it a bit rough?

That's a ridiculous argument. 'A bit rough'? A recipe for descent into anarchy....

Was My Lai 'A bit rough'?

We treat enemy prisoners iaw international law. To do otherwise is a crime

[Daf Hucker]

As I remember it Hans Blix indicated pretty clearly that there were no WMD in Iraq prior to GW2

............ and we're back to North Korea (so wonley)

I suspect a previous poster, yes Ab, you I mean, has little knowledg or concept of either the Hague or Geneva conventions regarding the Laws and Usages of War or the judgements and actions following the Nuremberg Trials incorporated into international law under the UN.

The torture convention was incorporated into UK law in 1998, allowing people who have committed or suborned torture worldwide to be prosecuted in the UK. To go back to Blair, if he knew that rendition was happening and some of the people who were rendered to states who openly torture prisoners and MI6 officers knew that it was happening or had been informed of it and they did nothing, they are culpable along with their political masters, ie Blair and whoever was Foreign Secretary at the time.


We have just an RM Commando sentenced to 10 years for murder under British Military Law for a 'war crime' ie executing a prisoner, a breech of the Geneva Convention which requires all reasonable care to be taken of a prisoner.

As I said previously, NK until he steps over the line into SK, transport a nuclear weapon and detonates it or the Chinese really do get hacked off with him and they maybe on a short fuse with the Japan situation. He is going to sit there, slaughter people at a whim and the world will do NOTHING. Full stop, period.

Bring on the next dictator please.

He' at it again, not happy with topping the beloved Uncle, he's now topped the Women, Children, Grand Kids and even the odd ambassador, just to make sure he got them all and to stave off a mutiny from that side of the family.

Words fail me

North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un 'executes the family of his uncle Jang Song-Thaek' | Mail Online

[Interested Passenger]

He has almost turned Team America: World Police into a documentary.

imagine the scene
JKU - "I WANT YOU TO KILL ALL MY UNCLE'S RELATIVES"
Death Squad Leader "are you sure sir"
JKU "OF COURSE I AM SURE. QUESTION MY ORDERS AGAIN AND YOU, YOUR FAMILY, AND YOUR VILLAGE WILL BE DESTROYED"
DSL "ok sir"

BANG

JKU "OH BUGGER"

[Fox3WheresMyBanana]

Who did Blair have arbitrarily executed in front of UK government officials?

Er... Aletheia (Goddess of Truth)

Dodgy Dossier would be but one example

[Dengue_Dude]

Good answer - she was foully murdered.

But aren't we naive expecting our leaders to tell the truth?

[awblain]

Athena is also a potential victim, certainly when she had her wisdom hat on.
