CIA Trials Would Be a Dangerous Mistake

Wonder if the British were so nit picky when we whupped up on the NAZI for them in WWII?

Who was it that fire bombed Dresden during WWII; Brits, Christians, or pagans?


The WWII Dresden Holocaust -
'A Single Column Of Flame'


http://www.rense.com/general19/flame.htm

"You guys burnt the place down, turned it into a single column of flame. More people died there in the firestorm, in that one big flame, than died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined." --Kurt Vonnegut, Jr

On the evening of February 13, 1945, an orgy of genocide and barbarism began against a defenseless German city, one of the greatest cultural centers of northern Europe. Within less than 14 hours not only was it reduced to flaming ruins, but an estimated one-third of its inhabitants, possibly as many as a half a million, had perished in what was the worst single event massacre of all time.

Toward the end of World War II, as Allied planes rained death and destruction over Germany, the old Saxon city of Dresden lay like an island of tranquillity amid desolation. Famous as a cultural center and possessing no military value, Dresden had been spared the terror that descended from the skies over the rest of the country.

In fact, little had been done to provide the ancient city of artists and craftsmen with anti-aircraft defenses. One squadron of planes had been stationed in Dresden for awhile, but the Luftwaffe decided to move the aircraft to another area where they would be of use. A gentlemen's agreement seemed to prevail, designating Dresden an "open city."

February 13/14 1945: Holocaust over Dresden, known as the Florence of the North. Dresden was a hospital city for wounded soldiers. Not one military unit, not one anti-aircraft battery was deployed in the city. Together with the 600.000 refugees from Breslau, Dresden was filled with nearly 1.2 million people. Churchill had asked for "suggestions how to blaze 600.000 refugees". He wasn't interested how to target military installations 60 miles outside of Dresden. More than 700.000 phosphorus bombs were dropped on 1.2 million people. One bomb for every 2 people. The temperature in the centre of the city reached 1600 o centigrade. More than 260.000 bodies and residues of bodies were counted. But those who perished in the centre of the city can't be traced. Approximately 500.000 children, women, the elderly, wounded soldiers and the animals of the zoo were slaughtered in one night.

 

Of course an independent prosecutor is going to get someone even if he has to go all the way back to the Clinton administration, which did engage in "rendition".

 

I agree that the fire-bombing of Dresden, and that of Hamburg, was a war crime outwith the strictures of international law and an un-Christian thing to do; you're preaching to the choir here.

 

Ummmm yeah. We 'stooped' to the level when we:

declared our independence from the Brits; then we 'stooped' to their level and fought for our freedom,
we 'stooped' to their level, when the War of Aggresion was fought against the southern states,
we 'stooped' to their level against the Spanish,
we 'stooped to their level against the Germans in WWI,
we 'stooped' to their level again in WWII,
we 'stooped' to their level in Korea, Vietnam, Grenanda, Kuwait, Iraq, etc.
Yeah. We really 'handed' them a victory.
We only lost our best to make sure that you can post your opinion on this, a, " Sometimes I wonder whether this is a Christian website at all..." web-site.
You're welcome.

 

Apples and oranges, my friend...

 

I guess you were against the "independent" investigations when the Clintons were the target, right? :tongue3:

 

We are supposed to be a nation of laws, not men. When we appoint a special prosecutor with an unlimited budget and time we are no longer a nation of law.

Snow, how many times do you think you could tell the same story in response to hostile questions without getting crossed up and then convicted of perjury.
