Why weren't George W. Bush and Cheney charged for war crimes?
The 2003 invasion of Iraq was a disaster.

George W. Bush lied to the American people about weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

There was no connection between 9/11 and Saddam Hussein's regime.

It was most likely a war over oil resources, and to alter America's geopolitical influence in the region.

Why aren't Bush and Cheney in jail?

It's been 22 years already...

Because Republicans protect their own. This has been their rule since Nixon was impeached. They will not allow one of their own to suffer legal consequences for illegal actions.

Because america and Israel gets away with everything. Since they own the UN and can threaten other courts. Like how America threatened to invade the international court if it went after BiBi.

Rules based order just means, The rules america makes, but doesn't have to follow.

Why wasn't Obama charged with killing US citizens overseas with drones? Same reason, power has it perks.
Because it is the U.S.A.

Apparently they would rather believe in fantasies, than face the hard truths?

USA!USA!USA!USA!
Because....

...ahem...

Check about the Epstein files now and you will see why
American war criminals very rarely get punished for their crimes
Bush is convicted about being a war criminal by a tribunal from Malasya.
"
In November 2011, the tribunal tried former US President George W. Bush and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in their absence. It found them guilty of crimes against peace for the Iraq invasion.
"
War crimes aren't a real thing. It's just a legalistic sounding term for punishing your opponents for opposing you. That's why the winning side rarely, if ever, punishes their own for war crimes.

Also there was a connection between Saddam and AQ. The idea that there wasn't is an anti-American myth. He, mainly through his son Qusay though also through his half brother Barzan, provided shelter for AQ operatives and gave them land for training camps. He mainly supported them because they were against America and Saddam was very strongly anti america after they betrayed him in the first gulf war.

Also Bush never lied about there being WMDs in iraq. There were WMDs in iraq, something along the lines of 4000 warheads. The only thing we didn't find was nukes, though Saddam had a nuclear program, claimed he had nukes on Iraqi TV, and refused to let international inspectors inspect his nuclear facilities (which was one of the peace agreements for the first gulf war).

Intelligence agencies like the CIA and the 9/11 Commission Report found no evidence of a cooperative effort or operational ties between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda.

becuse presidents are above the law
It's only considered a crime if you are utterly defeated and at the whim of another governing body.

Government with functional militaries and global sway generally don't let other themselves be trod on

That's just not true.

It is true. They have found absolutely nothing. It was a 100% lie from the very begin.
