U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte last month tried to have similar language added to an East Timor peacekeeping resolution and was swiftly rebuffed by French Ambassador Jean-David Levitte, who said it would go against the laws of France.

Your UN kangaroo court goes against the laws of the United States, which is why we don't want to get buffaloed by it.

I've got a better idea:
Why not make it clear that the US is not party to the ICC or to the World Court. If the UN doesn't like it, we should tell them to get out of the US, because we don't want to be part of them.

Why not do the responsible and reasonable thing and refuse to participate in these peacekeeping endeavors? We need those guys on our borders anyhow.

I've got a better idea than "requesting" immunity. Why don't we just tell the EUnuchs that if they make any attempt to take a present or former US serviceman into custody, we'll see that as an act of war.

67 of the 180+ nations in the U.N. have ratified the treaty, yet it is going into affect? How does that frickin' happen?

Maybe the time has finally come to get us once and for all out of the U.N.
All it would take would be for a U.N. court to file charge against U.S. soldiers.

If are troops aren't granted immunity won't the DoD have to change the Oath that one takes when joining the military. Maybe someone out there can help me out--- "...defend the Constitution...obey the orders of commissioned officers both domestic and foreign.

We need to shut down the kangaroo court in the Hague and free Slobodon Milosevic. I have never yet read anything, anywhere, which described hypocrisy as a good thing.
