I have long known about the existence of the CFR - Council on Foreign Relations. In some recent readings, there was a listing of many past and current members: politicians of both parties, non-elected government officials, military, etc. The light for me went off when I saw WJ Clinton and GHW Bush as members. Which, for me, explained their collegial relations during the Haiti fund raisings, etc. The CFR is also one of the long term proponents of the New World Order, i.e., elites over the non-elites, I guess.

""The president-elect is coming into office at a moment when there is upheaval in many parts of the world simultaneously," Kissinger responded. "You have India, Pakistan; you have the jihadist movement. So he can't really say there is one problem, that it's the most important one. But he can give new impetus to American foreign policy partly because the reception of him is so extraordinary around the world. His task will be to develop an overall strategy for America in this period when, really, a new world order can be created. It's a great opportunity, it isn't just a crisis."

A senior Bush administration official said Friday that the U.S. now accepts the "reality" of the International Criminal Court, and that Washington would consider aiding the Hague tribunal in its investigation of atrocities in Sudan's Darfur region. "The U.S. must acknowledge that the ICC enjoys a large body of international support, and that many countries will look to the ICC as the preferred mechanism" for punishing war crimes that individual countries can't or won't address, John Bellinger, the State Department's chief lawyer, told a conference in Chicago marking t he 10th anniversary of the tribunal's founding treaty, the Rome Statute....

I know the Mods. will move this, but my husband come in very upset and I feel the same. Has anyone heard anything about this? Michael Savage is ranting about Bush turning our military personel from Abu. G. over to the world court. He does that and he has lost our vote.
