Under Fire, US Modifies Objections to Global Court

The Bush Administration: Talk big but carry a small stick. This is the same administration as it would have been with ole Bob Dole. What else to expect when you vote in the duopoly who is bought & paid for by the elites.

[Jagdgewehr]

I have no words to express the utter disappointment I feel towards the Bush and his administration.

It seems as though it just gets a little worse each day.

[Cacophonous]

This look familiar, or is your head still in the sand?

Permitting jurisdiction of this kangaroo court over Americans is a major mistake!! You already hear the America-haters, thosse trolling for bribes, third worlders wanting payoffs, throwing "crimes against humanity" around to cover anything.

Some UN slug, earlier this week, claimed that the coming starvation of almost a million in Southern Africa would be a "crime against humanity," and that they had only 30 million of the 500 million necessary to prevent it. So, next year after some well publicized picture of Africans looking unhappy and hungry and claims that millions had starved (but, no bodies), someone will raise charges in the court that the US, by providing the 470 million, was guilty of not preventing a "crime against humanity." Defending our borders, using timber taken from an area where a species has gone extinct, use of fuels causing global warming (kyoto) will all be claimed to be the "equivalent" of a "crime against humanity." The jurisdiction of these slugs will expand until they find something equivalent to the interstate commerce clause, and then every aspect of life in the US (and, the world) comes under the jurisdiction of these theiving socialists in Europe.

if we sign this treaty, I'll burn my passport.

[TheBigB]

Someone clear something up for me...is a country still under the jurisdiction of this Court if they do not ratify the treaty? It doesn't matter if we sign on or not if the Senate doesn't ratify it, and there's no indication they would.

If Bush caves on this, which is nothing less than throwing away our national soveriegnty, then there may well be a viable Third Party in the next Presidential election, We could call it something like the "American Patriot Party".

[Robert A Cook PE]

Stupid.

The White House is quitting ....... AGAIN.

What the H**L good is one-year "delay" of a case? Is somebody going to decide that "Well, we've waited a year, and so we "not" going to go charge the US with racism or murder ...."

The whole scheme is designed to allow liars and sociasts from around the world toignore black slavery and communitic murders to attack the US for alleged "voter fraud" in Florida.

The new "compromise" is still not acceptable to the America haters. Its time to write the ban into American law and begin the process of withdrawing from the UN. If they hate America so much, we'll be standing by the New York docks as they sail off into the sunset.

[Grut]

Don't blame Bush, folks; he's a 'pubby and can't help himself.

Remember: Republican spinelessness isn't a flaw, it's a characteristic.

...we'll be standing by the New York docks as they sail off into the sunset.

You want to wish them on New Jersy?

[Free the USA]

Index Bump

[Grut]

Jersy = Jersey. I abase myself.

[goldstategop]

Nahhh... I'd like us to wave them good bye as they cross the Atlantic! :)

[Djarum]

Notice that the US opposition is limited to exemptions for soldiers and officials, citizens aren't mentioned.

[goldstategop]

Uh huh. We're in Rudyard Kipling's immortal words, "the lesser breed without the law."

Thanks for the heads up!
