"Evidence of Obama War
Crimes"
WINSTON-SALEM, NC -- Barack Obama should not be
president. He is a War Criminal, guilty of high crimes and
misdemeanors.
Upon entering the Senate in 2005 through April 2007
Obama voted for every war-funding bill that came before him. Obama, despite his anti-war rhetoric, has cast at least 10 votes for
war-funding bills. Funding a War of Aggression is a War Crime, each
vote was a War Crime. Obama and co-conspirators are guilty in the deaths
and maiming of hundreds of thousands of men, women and children. Some estimate
as many as 1,400,000 Iraqis have died due to the US-led war. Obama approved
funds which were used to buy bombs and bullets to murder and maim tens of
thousands of Iraqi and Afghan children - in your name.
Obama's Votes for Troop
Funding
(we believe this accounting from www.FactCheck.org is
accurate)
Within four months of being sworn in as a U.S.
senator, Obama – in lock-step with fellow Senate Democrats – began a string of
votes in favor of war-funding bills.
2005: Obama voted for Senate
passage (Vote 109, April 21) of an emergency supplemental appropriations bill,
which passed 99 to 0. He also voted for the final House-Senate compromise
version of the same legislation (Vote 117, May 10), which passed 100 to 0.
Later in 2005, additional war
funds were contained in the regular Pentagon appropriations bill. Obama voted
for the Senate version (Vote 254, Oct. 7), which passed 97 to 0 and also for the
final compromise (Vote 366, Dec. 21), which passed 93 to 0.
2006: Obama supported another
emergency supplemental appropriations bill, which included war funding and much
else, voting for a cloture motion to end debate and schedule a vote (Vote 103,
May 2). The measure passed 92 to 4, with four Democrats opposed for reasons
other than war funding. He then voted for Senate passage (Vote 112, May 4). The
bill was approved by a vote of 77 to 21, with only Republican opposed, and
finally, Obama voted for the final House-Senate compromise version (Vote 117,
June 15), which passed 98 to 1, with a single Republican voting against
it.
Later in 2006, Obama supported the
regular Pentagon appropriations bill, which included $50 billion in "contingency
funding" intended for the first six months of war funding. He voted for Senate
passage of that bill (Vote 239, Sept. 7), which passed 98 to 0, and also for the
House-Senate compromise version (Vote 261, Sept. 29) which passed 100 to
0.
2007: Obama's final vote for troop
funding (Vote 147, April 26) was for an emergency supplemental appropriation
that also included a call for withdrawal from Iraq. Obama issued a news release
at the time, saying: "We must fund our troops. But we owe them something more.
... With my vote today, I am saying to the President that enough is enough." The
measure passed 51 to 46 and was vetoed.
