Krauthammer: Trump’s remarks about keeping oil after Iraq invasion could be a war crime

Good grief! These people just don't stop! Are they ever going to shut up and allow The country to move forward? I'm so sick of all of the talking heads.

well if we are talking war crimes and Iraq

can we start with blair and brown

and work our way to 2017

picking off all the war criminals in between ?

just turn them off.

I did.

They will eventually wither away.

The world already compares your new Führer with Hitler and you folks with Nazi Germany of 1933..

Hitler was also democratically elected and feverishly worshipped by his followers..

Time will tell..

During Trumps speech to the CIA he said when he grew up foreign policy included, to the victor go the spoils and stated that we should have kept the oil in Iraq, cause that same oil is now funding ISIS.

Trump needs to stop shooting from the hip as president, case n point:

Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer told Fox News’ Bret Baier Saturday night that President Donald Trump’s remarks to the CIA, including a statement where he suggested keeping the oil after the 2003 invasion of Iraq, could be considered a “war crime.”

Appearing on “Special Report,” Krauthammer — along with Mollie Hemingway of The Federalist and Fox News’ Digital Editor Chris Stirewalt — took part in a panel discussion on Trump’s remarks to CIA officials and employees Saturday afternoon as one of his first stops as president following his inauguration Friday.

Hemingway asserted that Trump was successful in sending the message that he supports the “rank and file in the intelligence agencies.” Krauthammer expressed concern that Trump’s off-handed remark about keeping oil after the 2003 invasion were troubling because the president has enormous power to affect world events with just his words.

From Foreign Policy:

At one point, Trump regurgitated parts of his stump speech about how the United States “should have kept the oil” after invading Iraq. “Maybe we’ll have another chance,” he added. Aside from being physically impossible to sequester billions of barrels of underground oil, that would constitute a breach of international law. U.S. troops are currently embedded with forces of the country that Trump suggested again invading.
On “Special Report,” Krauthammer took exception to those remarks as particularly troubling, even going so far as to suggest they could constitute a war crime:

Krauthammer: “The point is that when you become the president of the United States, your words…they are incredibly important, you can say one sentence and the dollar will lose its value…”

Baier: “Well for example, when he said that [we] should have taken the oil from Iraq and maybe we’ll have another shot at it…I mean, if you’re Iraq, you’d raise your eyebrows.”

Hemingway: “Again though…people in America are wanting us to not just be careful about which wars we fight, but when we fight them, win them…That’s a message that goes over extremely well with people.”

Baier: “I get that, Mollie. But words matter. They do matter.”

Krauthammer: “Pondering the oil is a war crime.”

LOL, I don't expect you to be able to discuss fairly, nor facually, but the rest of the world will tell you what they think, no matter how silly you react to it Mr. Bully.

Kuwait never paid us back for attacking Iraq, so technically, we are owed oil.

i'd like to push krauthammer and his wheelchair into the deep end of a swimming pool

Get real. "Pondering" stealing their oil is a war crime now? So a presidents words or thoughts alone are a war crime? He hasn't taken action on it. All he said is we should've

I case this wasn't answered, do a search for troitcity's thread from yesterday, Benghazi Whistleblowers the story behind the coverup, and watch the video.

ISIS took the oil and nobody did anything about it. So we should take it instead. Otherwise, ISIS gets it.

What a fucking douche.

To the victor go the spoils.

What the fuck do you think war is for anyway?

Fuck that crippled werewolf!

Trump is not stupid. He is not talking about just taking it. He could be speaking of revaluing the Iraq currency, which many in the US have plenty Iraqi Dinar, and then using it to purchase oil.
