I'm tired of our military being the personal power toy of the eurotwits.
Why not just withdraw from this silly War Crimes Court. Either that or don't pay the bastards in the UN. They get a good portion of their funding from us anyway.
Also, don't go under their silly UN joint command. If the Brits also pull out, they'll be left with a bunch of silly cheese-eating surrender monkey Frenchmen to go and do the will of the one-world government.
If the immunity doesn't occur, it creates a fascinating scenario which I'd be interested to see. UN war crimes court brings charges against some army general and some some fool of a president (not GW, but a democrat) authorizes his arrest and turn-over to a UN commission. The military escort arrives to find 1000 army personnel surrounding the general and prepared to deny them the general. At that point, presidential authority no longer exists...and we can watch a massive melt-down in DC in a matter of just a week or two. Having retired from the military after 20 years...I can vouch that almost 99 percent of the whole force will take no directives or orders from a UN commission. And any president who caves in...will find himself with no respect or authority to command.
The simpliest answer here...is to halt all UN miltary support period if immunity is not granted. It would take less than 24 hours for all of our personnel to pack up and move out of UN ops. I would make Kosovo and Bosnia the first places to evac our troops out, and watch the locals go back into a regional civil war. And I would not step in unless the UN granted a 20-year immunity deal. I would even air the UN vote, live on all channels to the US...to show how they all had to back down in order to get the "evil" US to help them stop a civil war.
20 years? Hell, make it permanent... :)
It is extremely disappointing that the majority of American citizens don't seem to have a clue just how evil the UN is. So if Bush does confront the UN, he'll be blasted by the media and all the ignorant supporters of the UN.
Don't forget S.Korea. i believe that is still a UN mission.
Couldn't agree more.

The 911 terrorist hijackers hit the wrong building in NY. Throw the scumbags out and let's use the U.N. building for office space, for those companies who were displaced in the attacks. Seems perfectly fair to me.
Well I figure when they try to extradite one of our guys we can flip em all a big eagle and get the hell out of the UN...finally
A win-win situation.
The end of US peacekeeping forces. It couldn't get any better than that.
Could you get any better solution than the end of this charade called UN pecekeeping? I think not.

Is it possible for Bush to just issue an executive order ending U.S. relations with the UN? I don't think we even need Rep. Paul's legislation, since the UN treaty wasn't really ratified.
Yeah, me too. Helms totally nailed their asses to the wall. One of those "delegates" had to have urinated or defecated in their $1,000 pants.
Something is in the nearer future is going to have to be done about the U.N.. This oil for food scandal may be the start of the U.N.'s unravelling. I read on another thread here a few minutes ago, how the U.N.'s staffers have made their comments known about known corruption and unethical activities which are currently going on at the U.N..
Is this the ICC or the World Court? these are two different things
