This clause, "The further 12 month period for as long as may be necessary" is another way of veto'ing the ICC forever with what we may not agree with. In essence, Bush hasn't given anything to the U.N., he just giving those Globalist a way of saving face.
The knee-jerkers on this thread should withhold judgement until the fat lady sings.
Why on earth does he feel the need to help the Globalists "save face" when they are the absolute antithesis of Liberty, American sovereignty, and individual rights? An enemy like that needs to be shamed, often and aggressively, in very public ways. The only way the rest of the world will recognize their evil is to see them scattering when the lights of Truth get turned on. The 12 months of "wiggle room" is nice, but is a poorer position than where we had last week. This was a bad move that will expose Americans to danger. It will blow up the next time a Clinton-clone gets into office.
