Weird how we're still complaining about the exact same people we complained about during the Ron Paul days. (John McCain being a happy exception)

McCain was a war criminal posed as a hero. He was bombing water and power supplies illegally in Hanoi in an illegal invasion and then was rightly taken prisoner. He got better treatment than the poor sods in Gitmo and Abu Ghraib or the Bagram air base or the hundreds of black sites run by the USA.

So, are you saying all Vietnam vets are war criminals?

I said that way back in 1966 when I was 13 years old and understood that no one in Vietnam threatened Australia or America, I can't think why I would change my mind now. John McCain's daddy was the criminal who covered up the bombing of the SS Liberty by Israel while his son was bombing water supplies in Hanoi.

You didn't answer the question. Bombing water supplies is not listed as a war crime. We bombed German civilian targets in WWII. Was that a war crime? If all the soldiers in Vietnam are war criminals, then every soldier in every war is a war criminal. The list of what constitutes war crimes is very specific. You might want to read it.

They've been a feckless bag of farts since railing against Obamacare then doing absolutely nothing.

Yep. And now watch them 'pass' all these 'amazing' bills because they know they'll never go anywhere. Just like they 'repealed' Obamacare 1,000 times -- until they had the power to actually repeal it. Then crickets.
