What I am wondering, is if the US will attempt any military rescue of American troops who will be kidnapped and taken there? I have a feeling it will happen sooner or later, and I wonder if our govt will simply let them rot in hell over there?

This thing should have been shot down at it's inception. Leave it to Clinton to screw up AGAIN!
How exactly are they planning on financing this? Both Russia and China ought to be up in arms over this too, why are we standing there alone?
Well, let these guys finance their own peacekeeping missions for a spell, they might just come to the conclusion that the ICC isn't such a great idea after all.

Right on! What a mess! This only evolved out of Mad Halfbrights Yugoslav Tribunal (kangaroo court) in the hague.

"A politicized or a loose-cannon prosecutor in a court like that can impose enormous difficulties and disadvantages on people, individuals, governments." Tell that to the Serb, Milosevic and Yugoslavia!

American officials are particularly worried that U.S. troops will be hauled before the international court by a politically motivated prosecutor. "It seems not to have any endpoint. It seems not to have any focus. It's across the board," Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said last week, speaking about the ICC. "A politicized or a loose-cannon prosecutor in a court like that can impose enormous difficulties and disadvantages on people, individuals, governments."
What some U.S. officials see as unchecked power is praised as judicial independence by many European and Latin allies, human rights activists and international law experts.
This "independent court" is to have its own prosecutors. Anyone remember something called the "Independent Prosecutor" statue? What this world really needs is Lawrence Walsh with an international mandate to prosecute Republicans. Prosecute and convict Republicans.
