Unless, of course, the perp might happen to be a psychiatrist and major who brazenly assassinated a dozen or so soldiers, civilians and unborn. If I were president and an American soldier were hailed before one of these international tribunals, I guarantee that they would get to see up close and personally the awesome power of Marines and Rangers, and it would be done in such an “in your face way” that internationalist weenies would be pissing their pants for the remainder of their lifetimes. These assholes who contribute nothing of consequence and take no risks, but suppose they have something to say in the real world are worse than terrorists. They are the real crimes against humanity, living the good life with no regard for anything but their next piece of ass.

and another thought, just the fact that the foreigner ASSERTED jurisdiction shows how weak we are in the their eyes. Can you imagine his making this announcement 2 years ago? 25 ago under Reagan? Can you imagine it under JFK, Ike or Truman??

Obama must be removed from office, if the dems refuse, then they must go first. This socialist revolution must not stand.

I’d love to see our military make a rather large air drop into Afghanistan, then leave.

They can take Code Pink, Cindy Sheehan, the 9/11 hags, the entire administration, the ACLU and every single liberal ass in this country who believes enemy combatants or terrorists deserve constitutional protections.

Did I miss anyone?

Which was my point to begin with. He has a bulls eye taped on the back of US troops just to show how fair he is. He is going to go after “First” world troops- I.E. American.

Suicide bombing? Terrorists fighting without uniforms? Drug gangs used to raise money? Forgive me if I presume his docket won't be filled with those.

That dip stick McCain stated that he thought we should join the ICC, if only he could get a few more safeguards.

The sell-out on this issue is broad and deep.

Now this can be a win-win.

1. Bring the troops home from Afghanistan and do what we have to do to seal our borders with the best high tech surveillance equipment. We’ll be money ahead.

2. Then put Obama in Ocampo’s “docket” where he can address the issue of the predator drone strikes he approved. And while he’s at it he can decide whether should go through with putting the US under the jurisdiction of the ICC.
