Using the Red Cross symbol is so well recognized that it is “Customary Law” and applicable whether FARC is a signatory or not. The real question is enforcement, Colombia recognizes the ICC but just because something is technically a violation does not mean that the court’s prosecutor is going to want to file charges. Now if Colombia had painted their helicopter with the Red Cross and then attacked FARC that would be a violation worth prosecuting.

Whatever, like I said war crime my a**. Where were these a**hats when the frickin’ terrorist(aka muslims)used red cross symbols and smuggled weapons with them? I guess that wasn’t a war crime. I really don’t care how we got these guys out, as long as we got them. If we could have nuked this site after releasing the prisoners I would have been just as happy, and I still wouldn’t have considered it a war crime. I am against killing, murdering terrorists SOBs regardless of the name they use at the time. One more time and this is my last word on the subject: WAR CRIME MY A**!
