he International Criminal Court is less about justice than about weakening the United States. And bill clinton and the missus signed on.
Apparently, what was not good enough for the clintons is good enough for Bush.
Like the bubble economy and burgeoning terrorism, the Rome Treaty is yet another ticking time bomb that the impeached, legacy-obsessed, erstwhile-president-cum-wife Chimera left for its successor.

(real)-time-bomb scheme...
The clinton time-bomb scheme is a variation on the clinton posthumous misappropriation ploy, which, for the obvious reason, is the clintons' legacy-inflation method of choice. While downward revision ("defining deviancy down") is the classic clinton m.o., (see Jefferson double-helix hoax), the clintons, exposed, began arguing the obverse (see Upstaged, clinton Recycles Tired Canard, Tries New Revisionist Tack)... and now do so in real time.
The double negative offers the illusion of a higher ground, while real time, the illusion of truth...

1.The United States has "unsigned' the 1998 Rome Treaty that would put America under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court treaty that Bill Clinton signed on Dec. 31, 2000.
The Bush administration took the unprecedented step of "unsigning" an international treaty because, well, simply put, it doesn't trust the international community. Dubbed the "Rome Treaty," it puts signatory nations under the jurisdiction of the International Court at the Hague, grants ICC prosecutors extraordinary powers and grants ICC officials lifetime immunity.
The Rome Treaty would give the ICC the right to review U.S. court decisions and re-try individuals if the ICC determines decisions "were not conducted independently or impartially," or were for the purpose of "shielding the person concerned from criminal responsibility."
The ICC also does away with rights granted Americans under the Constitution, like the right to confront one's accusers, due process, trial by jury, a public and speedy trial by an impartial jury, and protection from cruel and unusual punishments. So Bush "unsigned" it.
The Bush administration's "unsigning" of the treaty signed by Bill Clinton in the final days of his presidency caused the global elitists to choke on their caviar as they rushed to condemn the administration of "bad faith" in overturning the will of Bill Clinton.
The jurisdiction granted under the Rome Treaty to the ICC would put every U.S. serviceman and woman at risk. Even U.S. travelers, especially if they are or have been public officials, would be at risk of being grabbed for trial by judges from Sierra Leone, Sudan, Iran and other nations who will supply the ICC's international "judges."
The Rome Treaty says the ICC is accountable to no one, not even to the United Nations, whose charter recognizes the sovereignty of nation-states and where we have our Security Council veto.
The United States said it won't place itself under the ICC's jurisdiction, even though other democracies -- like Great Britain -- already have. The ICC has already been ratified by more than 60 nations.
And now the chickens are coming home to roost.
Eight international lawyers, -- plus law professors from Britain, Ireland, France and Canada -- are building a case before the ICC, charging Great Britain and the United States with "war crimes." They plan to turn it over to ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo next month in the Hague.

Perhaps the most telling aspect of the clinton signing of the Rome Treaty, the act that formally put America under ICC jurisdiction, is the date -- Dec. 31, 2000 -- mere days before the clintons' "unpardonably" flagitious -- and, many would say, long overdue -- Oval-Office exit. Apparently, what was not good enough for the clintons is good enough for Bush |
NEW AUDIO! Hear the Bill Bennett (PARDONGATE) epilogue .
*the term "criminal" defined at the discretion of 142 countries, of which not all share the exact views on justice as the United States.
.
The ICC also does away with rights granted Americans under the Constitution, like the right to confront one's accusers, due process, trial by jury, a public and speedy trial by an impartial jury, and protection from cruel and unusual punishments. So Bush "unsigned" it.
Only Bill "Third Way" Clinton would sign such treaty, giving away the rights of American citizens guaranteed them by the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately for us, no media figure will ever publicly broach this subject with him and force him to state how he came to make "the decision" to sign this treaty. Imagine if Al Gore had won in 2000, it surely would've been the end of America as we know it. Once again we are shown what a horrible excuse for a human being he was for 8 years and the MEDIA gives him a shameful pass. Some things will apparently never change.
Hillary will remain silent on this, leaving her various flying monkey candidates to screech about Bush's war crimes and about how the international community now loathes us so much because of the war criminal Bush...
Miserable failure will be replaced by war criminal. If it gains any traction, in she jumps. If it doesn't, she may still jump in but she won't be dirtied by making the accusation herself.
Maybe they should check with Belgium on how well it worked when they tried it. It will work as well as "miserable failure" and in the same direction IMO. Hopefully this will be very effective in turning more Americans against the "international community" in the form of the UN, the ICC and various toxic NGOs.
