Find answers to your legal question.





Since george w bush,got us into this war under false pretence,can the families of the slain troops sue him?

Can they sue him for wrongful death?After all,he lied about the reason for the war from the very beginning.I think these families should be allowed to bring a civil suit against him personally.

Bush didn't just go to war. Bipartisan senate and congressional committees examined the "evidence" and agreed that war was the only action. Truth be told, the Democratic supporters of the war gave much more exciting and compelling speeches to advocate the incursion into Iraq.

500 elected members of the US Congress supported this action. So now they're saying they were lied to. Bush didn't testify before the congressional committees, who did and why did so many senators claim the proof was overwhelming?

I believe the fact that we have not been attacked on American soil since 9-11-01 proves that this was not a false pretense. The WMDs were found - which is a miracle since the UN and all of the whiners gave them months and months to hide them or get them out of the country.

Would you rather the terrorists bring the war to us again?

When you join the US military you are not obligated to agree with your orders. You are obligated to follow them. Is there a part of "military service" that you don;t understand? People die. "Ours is not to question why, ours is simply to do or die."

You are a liberal coward, traitor, and pathetic excuse for an American.

They would like to sue liars like you.


A professor (thus usually wrong)
Silly boy. WMDs have been found there. And all the evidence said they would be found there. No lies, as all the commissions have said.


Quickie
The war was authorized by the Congress.

Why did you Bush-Haters never pay attention to the fact????

Here you go again, spouting the alphabet news blurbs.
CLINTON is responsible for this war.
He refused on numerous occasions to hook Bin-laden.
He was too busy wagging his tail!

No they would have to sue the first person who told the lie. Bill Clinton told us Iraq had WMDs years before Bush was in office. The "lie" started with Clinton. In addition since Bush went to congress and got an OK first from them to start the war he is essentially absolved from responsibility in any legal action.

first off your basic statement is an untruth so the question should be can Our President sue you for defamation of character and if it were true would you be suing any of the democrats for agreeing that we needed to go to war You must be an idiot get a life

I agree with the person that states when you enlist in the military, you are required to follow orders, even to the death.

I don't think we should be in this war, but at least they haven't intstituted the draft yet. Everyone that is there, signed up willingly. (maybe they didn't read the fine print)

No you can't.

Don't get sidetracked by the question.

Let's assume under his hypo that Bush lied.

The answer is "no."

As commander-in-chief, the President enjoys an immunity in regards to certain decisions.

Second, it would be thrown out of almost any federal court, nonetheless.

Third, the nexus would be hard to prove.

Under American law, anybody can sue anybody for anything, but that doesn't mean they'll win, or even get far in presenting their case. Pretty generally you can't sue the government, and that includes suing government employees for things they did on the job. It's called soveriegn immunity.

Most all wars are started by lies- The Pres has Statatory Immunity from Lawsuits- he could be impeached for what he did- but with his Cronies in Congress, it won't happen.

I can't believe that so many think he is fighting Terrorism, its not like he has not increased the number of people willing to die for Islam by 1000% or more.

Great Question, we need a Constitutional Lawyer for this question. Step up to Mrs. or Mr. Lawyer.

First off...No the family cant sue him and if they did no judge in the county would rule in there favor. secondly...It was not only Bush, don't forget about Britain and Spain. they were all for it too. It really ignorant for other country to bash America especially if they are not the targets of terrorist attacks. just remember it was only a matter of time before Saddam would have started targeting the U.S

wish they could, but they probably can't...that was probably one of the first things he did in office, made himself sue-proof....

yes they can. but it would be a bit tricky when you are up against the government.you would have to list every single person involved etc etc. unless a lawyer/ breif is prepared to slog it out for years and years to come.
