That would depend on what the definition of "IS" is.

100% war criminal, confirmed.
The word you're looking for is, "alleged."

Actually I am starting to feel quite foolish to even raise Bush Jr's invasion of another country based on lies as being "immoral."
How is Hillary Clinton criminally responsible for what Dubya Bush did?

Message 76
So you're saying that support for the war in Iraq is a war crime? That's really, really thin.
I personally think the invasion of Iraq was unjustified but calling it "illegal" and "immoral" is pretty silly. And calling one American politician of the many who supported the war a "war criminal" is even sillier.

Thanks Mod.
Nobody here is defending the invasion of Iraq or Hillary Clinton's complicity in it. What is being questioned is your claim that her complicity was a "confirmed, 100%" war crime.

There is nothing in Message 118 to indicate a "confirmed, 100%" war crime - because it is not a confirmed war crime. Quit while you're behind.

My first real exposure to Parliamentary politics came last night, when MP Skinner (?) was taken to task by the speaker (?) for calling the Prime Minister "Dodgy Dave." That sort of language is terribly unbecoming of a member of parliament.
Pierre Trudeau (the Elder) got kicked out of Parliament once in the 60s for wearing a turtleneck instead of a tie.

I just consider your 2-party system to be like our 2-party system and I never consider other possibilities because the probability of another outcome is so remote.
If you recall, the UK used to have a 2-party system, then it was a 3-party system, then it became a two-party system (not including all of the minor parties). Note that the last two parties are not the same as the first two. So the probability of change is actually quite significant.
It has been said that in Canada we have a one-and-a-half-party system: the Liberals are the dominant party but every twenty years or so we elect the Conservatives just to keep the Liberals in line.

If you mention ducks and somebody asks for examples, you can mention Donald and Daffy, even in Coffee House.
If you use terms like "alternative media", it's quite acceptable to ask what the **** you mean. Are loonie websites what you call "alternative media"? Or is it space aliens whispering in your ear? Give us a clue.

So are you getting your ideas from street art? Or the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network?

Maybe all political advertising should be prohibited.
In our recent federal election, not one campaigner came to my door. I got a half-dozen leaflets in the mail. Virtually everything I learned about the candidates came from the news media.
In our recent provincial election, not one campaigner came to my door. I got a half-dozen leaflets in the mail. Virtually everything I learned about the candidates came from the news media.
There were some lawn signs. The Green Party seemed to have more signs than votes.
So as far as I'm concerned, every cent the parties spent was wasted.
