You can correctly say that the pretenses to the war were false, but you will have a hard time proving that Bush knowingly lied, you can assert it because it is a possibility. However if there isn't 100% certainty then you have a problem as far as accusing Bush of "war crimes" because the law of our land, the only law that matters in this case says Bush did nothing wrong. The constitution provides for "common defence" as such the President of the United States is allowed to act in good faith, which he did by getting a resolution passed through by congress authorizing force in the Iraq conflict. As far as international law goes, it's a joke, a joke which has no authority or force. It also seems in the current political scheme it is something that is arbitrarily enforced or referred on the whims of political necessity by various countries or groups of people.
