Somehow, we will overcome this stupid treaty that Clinton left us.

Did the Senate ratify this "treaty"?

If not, it has no more force of law than a piece of crapped-on newspaper.

Three Data Points to Consider:

1. The abcnews.com report was published at 7:35pm Eastern, when the WH would be slow to respond. A sucker punch, via our wonderful, unbiased media. < hah! > I think a better picture will emerge in the morning, so let's wait.

2. The treaty isn't signed, so we could say winged monkeys must fly out out of the UN's a$$ to capture war criminals, and it doesn't matter.

3. The 12 month immunity thing provides a lot of wiggle room.

As long as GWB doesn't sign the treaty, we can do what the heck we need to "in the field" to fight wars and keep the peace. If the UN is willing to take the looped end of the rope, let 'em - we got a war to fight, and we need the UN off of our backs.

(I Still think we should just leave the UN and watch it blow away...)
