    Even if we did send them to trial, how would it go?

    Prosecution: “So you had suspicions of known terrorist group responsible for 9/11 as well as national nuclear weapons development in the region?”

    Bush: “That’s right, my defence secretary and my appointee at the CIA brought relative documents, which we’ve submitted to the court, of the aluminum tubes assumed to be weapons technology at the time. The location of the Taliban had been tracked and went cold around there, but we did capture thousands of their fighters.”

    Prosecution: “Some time after you installed a new CIA director.”

    Bush: “Coincidently, yes, these sort of changes happen often.”

    Prosecution: “Did you have any evidence of where they might have obtained the technology?”

    Bush: “That’s right, we’ve had Russian informants about their spread of weapons throughout the middle east over the decades. Some of it is still classified but some of it has been submitted to the court.”

    Prosecution: “And is it true your nation profited greatly off the Iraqi Oilfields which was Coincidently monopolized by Exxon Mobil under the leadership of Rex Tillerson who went on to become a Secretary in the Trump Administration?”

    Bush: “Well this has nothing to do with the Trump administration, I myself don’t approve of them, and I also have no personal connections with Rex. But maybe that is true, I don’t know.”

    Judge: breaks into a sweat realizing they’ll be here listening to the questioning people over this for another 2 decades and still not have a solid case

      You’re missing

      And is it true your nation profited greatly off the Iraqi Oilfields

      “No, that is not accurate.”
