And once again, you attempt to smear. What you show was NEVER US policy. What don't you get? It was NEVER sanctioned policy and the perpetrators punished. And it was ABUSE by a few asshole soldiers-sickening, but not torture.
So "Invading Iraq" was a war crime? Guess Hillary is guilty then? She was right there with Bush beating the drums of war.
What prisoners were ever tortured? It was the Bush admin that exposed abuses at Abu Gharib, but there was no torture there.
ISIS was created under Obama, so if that is a war crime, it's on the Hussein, not Bush. But even I don't hold Obama responsible for Muslims killing each other, it's in their nature. It's like blaming a President for an earthquake.
Yes, it's a war crime. But we all know the US wouldn't let a US president go to the Hague, don't we?
You think Hillary did anything anywhere near like Bush? But you can make that case if you want.
The Bush administration exposed abuses, but there was no torture? Huh?
Torture at Abu Ghraib
No torture?
No torture to see here huh? Just the normal thing you do with the guys in the bar on a Friday night, huh?
It wasn't torture, just humiliation. It was illegal and the US Army was already investigating it. How is Bush responsible for the actions of a few idiots? They were held accountable.
If you want to see torture and real atrocities maybe you should google ISIS, people being dismembered, burned alive, etc. Then there is normal Islamic "justice", in countries we call our "allies". Like the stoning to death of women, and executions of homosexuals. But hey, that's not important, we have to act outraged over a couple of dumb hicks that shamed a few Iraqis over the course of a few days.
Ah.... torture is only when other people do it then...
I should google ISIS because then you can deflect from the US committing torture. Also, these are the photos we have. There were many cases where photos weren't taken.
Wasn't US policy? It wasn't official US policy. However there's a big difference between an army that is committing these acts, and an army that doesn't. Why was it allowed to happen?
Besides, torture WAS an official policy of the Bush govt.

So, you have a president who gave the order to commit torture, you have a president who allowed torture to happen on his watch, and probably accepted it until people criticized it.
So your attempts at saying this is smear and not policy, is, well, nonsense.
