ICC Makes a Play to Try US Soldiers

If you haven’t been entirely outraged yet, this will do the trick:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed “great regret” in August that the U.S. is not a signatory to the International Criminal Court (ICC). This has fueled speculation that the Obama administration may reverse another Bush policy and sign up for what could lead to the trial of Americans for war crimes in The Hague.
The ICC’s chief prosecutor, though, has no intention of waiting for Washington to submit to the court’s authority. Luis Moreno Ocampo says he already has jurisdiction—at least with respect to Afghanistan.
Because Kabul in 2003 ratified the Rome Statute—the ICC’s founding treaty—all soldiers on Afghan territory, even those from nontreaty countries, fall under the ICC’s oversight, Mr. Ocampo told me. And the chief prosecutor says he is already conducting a “preliminary examination” into whether NATO troops, including American soldiers, fighting the Taliban may have to be put in the dock.
“We have to check if crimes against humanity, war crimes or genocide have been committed in Afghanistan,” Mr. Ocampo told me. “There are serious allegations against the Taliban and al Qaeda and serious allegations about warlords, even against some who are connected with members of the government.” Taking up his inquiry of Allied soldiers, he added, “there are different reports about problems with bombings and there are also allegations about torture.”
It takes a village idiot to regret that we’re not part of the ICC. The real purpose of the ICC is to bring charges against western nations in general and the United States in particular. The global left wants nothing more than US soldiers in the dock – with their ultimate dream of having President Bush stand trial. They hate – its all they do and they do it all the time. The pitiable part of it is that they really hate themselves. Parasites who live off un-earned wealth and who are defended by their betters, these people wish to lash out as a means of blocking their ears against the call of their own conscience.
I think all of us patriots will know what to do if even one US soldier is hauled before the ICC.

joining the ICC would literally betray our sovernty….as a nation…to the mercy of socialists in Europe and the 54 member block of islamic nations from the UN….
its an absolute joke, isnt it?
I think we need trials of us politicians including the faker in chief for treason.
Weren’t we just talking about a goal of the worldwide radical Left being the diminishment of American sovereignty? Gee, that sound familiar.
The radical Left has been angling for years to get the US to concede a lot of its national sovereignty to other nations—through the UN, the Kyoto Accords, various other efforts at establishing world courts, and now this.
We need to keep a very close eye on this and stop it dead in its tracks if any progress is made in getting the US to be governed by any other nation or group of nations, to any degree. We are having a hard enough time keeping the governance of the United States in line with its own Constitution, much less allowing other nations, with other agendas, legal authority here or over our own.

We have THREE village idiots…zer0, joe,& hitlery.
The other part of this is the motivation of the US leftists. Their goal in this is to be part of world wide government. Their arrogance is that they think they will be the ones in power globally once they reduce the US.
What is it though with the left that thinks that they should rule the world? They can’t govern our Country, yet they believe they deserve more power over the lesser peoples of the earth.
