Once again the enlightened administration of President Feckless disappoints those who thought they’d be soooo much different than the evilllll Bushitlerchimpymchalliburton one. This time the New York Times is rehashing the old complaint of it and “human rights” groups that Bush didn’t do enough to stop executions of Taliban fighters by Afghanistan resistance groups back in 2001 when the Taliban were tossed out of power. Not deterred by the mere fact that the US had no jurisdiction to investigate activities by one foreign group against another foreign group in a foreign land, The NY Times called for an investigation by the FBI and US Military into executions allegedly ordered by Afghan Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostrum.
Here is the article.
Obama admin: No grounds to probe Afghan war crimes
Asked about the report, Marine Corps Col. David Lapan, a Pentagon spokesman, said that since U.S. military forces were not involved in the killings, there is nothing the Defense Department could investigate.
“There is no indication that U.S. military forces were there, or involved, or had any knowledge of this,” Lapan said. “So there was not a full investigation conducted because there was no evidence that there was anything from a DoD (Department of Defense) perspective to investigate.”
A Justice Department official said the FBI had no jurisdiction to investigate. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Separately, Justice Department spokesman Matthew Miller declined to comment.
Apparently the NYT and the do gooders at Physicians for Human Rights still have the wet dream ideal that Obama is going to order a war crimes investigation and arrests of Bush and our Dark Lord VP Cheney. I’d give both of these organizations some credit if they had ever demanded the investigation of Saddam Hussein, the Taliban, Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, et al for their war crimes. Not that I’m going to hold my breath since I’d end up as blue as the ocean here in Paradise.
Morons.
No, worse than that. Hypocritical morons.
