US bars entry to International Criminal Court investigators

The United States will revoke or deny visas to International Criminal Court personnel seeking to investigate alleged war crimes and other abuses committed by U.S. forces in Afghanistan or elsewhere, and may do the same with those who seek action against Israel, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Friday.

Pompeo,“If you are responsible for the proposed ICC investigation of U.S. personnel in connection with the situation in Afghanistan, you should not assume that you still have or will get a visa or will be permitted to enter the United States,”

Don’t bother blocking international election monitors, though.
There’s already been a team of them who came to the US,
took one look at how polling places operate, said, “You people are crazy,” and went back to Europe.

If they think things are crazy in the USA, maybe they ought to take a closer look at their own continent.

I see no problem with exercising sovereignty by denying entry to foreign investigators and fully agree with you on election monitors. It would make sense to tone down on investigating foreigners unless their actions directly hurt Americans though. And if they don’t want to see foreign election monitors it makes sense to keep out from foreign elections too.

No foreign or international body has a right to investigate any person or event in the US as long as we abide by our constitution and federal laws protected by our own supreme court.

Crazy as in not having anything near a goofproof voter ID system. Even the UN says that’s crazy.

Presumably this is to hinder these groups’ ability to interview past participants in military operations in Afghanistan. Which is understandable.

However I wish the ICC would look at something that disgusted even US troops in Afghanistan to witness, i.e. buggery of boys. Due to a loophole in Islam, that’s not considered homosexuality, something that would completely puzzle a westerner. And it’s also a kind of rape. Would the ICC have the guts to stand up and scream, “now THAT’S a crime!”?

Evidently, it’s a much more stringent process qualifying to cast a ballot in Europe than here. They had been brought in by some lefty group to uncover voter intimidation and such.

When the monitors saw how far back we have bent to facilitate voting, even to the point where we encourage voter fraud, they said we were crazy and went back home.

and gave them access to anything and anyone they wanted, in the hopes that they could bring folks up on their phony charges.

On a side note, since most of the world hates us, even though most of the world tries to come into our country and/or be like us, it’s high time we give them legitimate reasons for it all. Tell the ICC to pound salt up their asses. And start displaying very little tolerance for the bullsh*t that has gone over the years.

ICC UN won’t touch islam cultural pedophelia , we know that.

Ceding to ICC law is acquiescing US Constitutional Rights and Natural law.

Well, they ought to “touch” it. Like crude clitoridectomy.

The monitors are being hypocritical, is my point. There is still less accountability to voters in Europe (at the “Union” level, where there isn’t even separation of powers) and even in member states. One ought to fix one’s home problems before commenting on those abroad, at least.

I don’t know who they were, but they
blew back into the faces of the leftists
who paid for them to come here. To me,
that’s a happy ending.

I really, really like Pompeo. When he speaks, people listen.

Let the bastards in and then arrest them. Lock them up and throw away the key. These commie girly men wouldn’t dream of going and trying this crap with the Taliban, Al Qaeda or ISIS. Cowardly fags.
