Im beginning to notice a patern with Bush. Act conservative then cave into the liberals at the end.

BS

So much for our resolve. There goes our sovreignty.

The United States on Wednesday backed off from its demand...

Makes you wonder who's in charge.

"We have for one year a total freedom," said Richard Grenell, spokesman for the U.S. Mission, who said this was sufficient time to bring any American suspect home, thus out of reach of the court. "What we have been focused on is ensuring that American men and women are not within the reach of the International Criminal Court

So they just won't ever be able to travel outside the US again huh? That stinks.

Under the U.S. proposal, any peacekeeper who was exempt from investigation or prosecution for a year could then be investigated and prosecuted if the exemption was not renewed though no U.N. peacekeeper has ever been charged with a war crime.

A great incentive for the men and women of our armed forces -- and entirely dependent on who is in office, and/or if the president has the will to pursue another exemption.

I wonder what does the Bush Admin say. Apparently it is in the UN best interest to put their spin on negotiations in the public arena.

you got it

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Very nice. Europe and Asia whines, and Bush buckles like a belt, just like when Klinton was in charge. The more things change, the more they stay the same....

[RCW2001]

He has about only one other thing to 'cave' for....that's the 2nd Amendment. Perhaps he'll adopt the UN position on 'small arms' next???

[clintonh8r]

Well, this really bites it.

George Bush - There must be something in the gene pool of the Bush family. Seems he is as big a wimp as his father who didn't have the guts to stand up to Congress and uphold his No New Taxes pledge, and couldn't see fit to rid the world of Sadam Hussein.

Now, we have Junior whose motto is, "Speak loudly (even if in broken English) and wimp out afterwards."

Here is one life-long registered Republican who is about to re-register as an Independent. At least with Clinton we did not have any false hopes. This Bush has been an overwhelming disappointment.

This is just a clever ploy to get them where we want them right?

Like hell.

Caving on the ICC will be a big,big mistake.

[Mulder]

It will be fun to see how this gets spun....

sadly, I'm observing the same pattern
