Glenn Greenwald: Obama can't just apologize for a war crime

Yeah, that’s about right. Just because one is president does not put one above the rule of law. That’s pretty much a basic tenet of this country. A tenet which seems to have been forgotten since September 11th 2001.

So who authorized the strike? We knew it was a hospital. I wonder what the morally bankrupt apologists on videosift have to say about this... Of course, there won't be any accountability, whatsoever.

No one did a war crime investigation when Israel repeatedly bombed hospitals in Gaza. At least Obama apologized which is way more than any republican would do.

That is totally irrelevant to this incident and in no way makes it any less of a crime.

Nice try.

Any other morally bankrupt apologists have a comment?

Yes, an apology is more than most countries offer when they do this kind of thing....just ask Russia.
That said, an apology is NOT accountability, explanation, or even honesty. Independent investigation is needed every time something like this happens, otherwise there basically is NO international rule of law, and we should stop pretending there is.
But...the president is certainly NOT the person who gave the go ahead to bomb a known hospital. He would likely not have charges levied against him no matter what.

It is a sign of guilt when any organization insists they, and only they, can investigate their own clearly bad actions....I'm looking at the cops here....and 'self investigation' is no investigation.

I said it on the other video on this topic, and I'll say it again....we won't accept self investigation when a major hospital in the US blows up. Not for a second. If it's not good enough for us, how can we pretend it's good enough for everyone else? That's just plain self serving BS.
