When the unfriendlys are mad at you, you’re probably in the right spot. Thank God for President Bush.

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

“....Bush is likely to head back to Texas, and stay there. Why? Because he may well fear being thrown into jail if he ever left US sanctuary.”

False. They love him (and Gonzo) in Messico and almost all points south.

[A. Pole]

What would Milosevic say?

[ChiTownBearFan]

Good, if Chirac or Schroder ever wants to come here, we should arrest them for aiding terrorists..this article is everything that is wrong with the world..

[roses of sharon]

And of course its posted on FR, to assuage BDS sufferers. They need their daily fix to get off on.

Sick.

[massgopguy]

“Universal Jurisdiction”? Oh that’s right, they are the Master race.

[dighton]

Even a proud Texas provincial such as he may one day wish to use his passport . . .

Europe has lost its mind.

[Thrownatbirth]

How about the US withdrawing all of its military forces from Germany “for the good of humanity”?

[tcrlaf]

The “New Normal”....

Feel-good Socialists can indict you for whatever it is they don’t like. And if you don’t keep the Socialists happy, they will persecute you.

Own an SUV? - CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY
Defend your nations interests? - CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY
Don’t believe that sending St. ALgore money for “Carbon Credits”? - CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY

You get the picture.

“The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them.

One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. - Ayn Rand

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Germany law provides for "universal jurisdiction" over all crimes, committed by anyone, anywhere, which must be prosecuted for the "good of humanity."

Well, isn't that ironic, coming from the premier war crime practitioner of the twentieth century. Maybe they're trying to get even for Nuremberg.

[Brilliant]

“Europe has lost its mind.”

It all started with the lead in the wine and liquor that the Romans produced. After a few centuries of that, the brain turns to mush.

[daybreakcoming]

I am having difficulty keeping Iran at the top of my “To Bomb” list.

[Doogle]

....expect to hear much more as the presidential race moves forward..the socialist liberals will start their “backing”
of Sir Hillary, just like they did with Alcore in 2000.
BTW,this rumbling your hearing about Alcore secretly planning to run, is a ploy to gather more votes for Sir Hillary. He stands no chance, but would likely cast his support for the b*tch after gathering $$$$$$.

That's freakin' hilarious...

[SF Republican]

If one can go home to Texas WHY go anywhere else in the world?

[Centurion2000]

Instead, as soon as he leaves office at noon, January 20, 2009, George W. Bush is likely to head back to Texas, and stay there. Why? Because he may well fear being thrown into jail if he ever left US sanctuary. Overseas, the threat of indictment, extradition, and arrest hangs heavy. Just like it was for Augusto Pinochet.

The precedent set in 1998 by former Chilean president Pinochet's 16-month house arrest in Britain, while the House of Lords dealt with Spanish prosecutor Balthazar Garzon's request to extradite him to Spain to face charges of torturing Spanish citizens, should be enough to limit Bush's post-White House travel plans.

Bullshit .... chile doesn't have thousands of nukes that can be aimed at a country that kidnaps one of our former Presidents.

Even Clinton, scumbag that he is, deserves this kind of protection as he sat in the OFFICE of the President.

Grab any former US President and that's an act of war.
