    If US law dictated international law and what constitutes war crimes, you might have me there on that being considered a war crime... except that the policy also only stands in order to protect the US president from similar attempts and it has recently been repealed.

    Anyway, blame the CIA mandate for that, not national policy. There wouldn't be any plausible deniability without them

    fighting a democratically elected government.
    Since when is funding rebels a war crime?

          i don't support it, but i support what we did to win it.

          the Vietnamese were hardcore though. They did everything they had to do in order to win the war, both on the battlefield and in the villages themselves.

          when facing insurmontable odds, drastic measures must be taken.

            War Crimes are defined by the victors. Simple as that.

              Well, yeah. If my shorts were on fire, I'd do whatever it took.

                We should have never been there in the first place.

                  It's not a war crime to destroy iraqui oil fields since they are in Iraqui territory to begin with. Scorched earth.

                  Attacking Israel IS illegal but no more so than the US and UK attacking Irak. Both are unwarranted attacks against sovereign states and flagrant violations of internation law.

                    As I recall "we" weren't.
                    As I also recall, people damned near killed themselves in the panic to be evacuated.
                    As I also recall, every single refugee or relative of someone that refugeed, would tell you to stick it squarely up your ass.

                    Guess what, Sava?
                    Their opinion carries a hell of a lot more validity with me than does yours.

                      Blowing up oil wells will disrupt the oil markets and increase the cost of the war for the Americans. It would be okay for the Iraqis to blow up their oil wells in peacetime, to suggest that wartime makes them untouchable is silly.

                        ****. I know better than to try and reason with people who in all actuality should be chasing an ice cream truck.

                        Think what you want, it doen't really matter.

                          I must be mistaken, but i believed that was a US law
                          at the time against assassination.

                          mandate, policy? That's like saying blame the crack when
                          a crackhead commits a crime. Come on, yer from Texas,
                          your not going to try and pass a bunch of lawyer snakeoil off on me?

                            Gerald Ford signed a "No assassination" policy, President Bush rescinded it, in time of war.

                            Smart move.

                              As I recall, SLowwhand... tens of thousands Americans, and 4 million South-East Asians died in a fool's errand that accomplished nothing. Two of my uncles served in Vietnam... even today, there are a great many things that was never told to the public. But I can see your point... let's fight unjust wars with other peoples' money and other peoples' lives.

                                Thank you.
