It's also worth noting that Bush the Younger made no attempt to get out of it.

Bush must be sure he can control it from touching the neocons, he passed on his chance to preserve the Constitutional rights of American citizens.

World Net Daily:
As late as Monday there were reports that President Bush had sought means to retract the signature of former president Clinton, who signed the treaty on his last day in office.

Key European allies have accused the Bush administration's refusal to support the court as an example of U.S. "unilateralism" in an interdependent world.

Several U.S. allies, notably Canada, have urged the Bush administration to support the court as a means to hold genocidal tyrants accountable for their crimes.

I must be missing something here. The article seems to make it quite clear that Bush does not agree with the court, and is trying to find a way to retract the signature of Clinton. Are we reading the same article?

Yes, we are. It's my understanding he has the Constitutional authority to remove the signature. So I can't understand what he's looking for, unless he just needs the court to have credibility until it's done with Milosevic.
