OOPS!!

[Clara Lou]

Well, well, well... welcome to the real world. So, Brits don't like the idea of someone else charging their troops with crimes and then trying them. SURPRISE.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

The Government is concerned that British servicemen and women involved in any war against Iraq could find themselves facing action from the International Criminal Court, defence sources said yesterday.

The ICC is already eating away at national sovereignty like an acid.

[Diogenesis]

THIS JUST IN: The only War Crimes were those by the Islamic Terrorists,
the Taliban, al Qaeda, and the House of Saud, etc.
Americans WILL NOT FORGET
the 911 Atrocities [or which side the US media took durng the Islamic terror war.]

[VaBthang4]

"They would be subject to the ICC, although the pilot of the US aircraft would not, since America did not recognise the court. "

Says it all.

What a bunch of effeminate idiots.

~Grin~

[Blood of Tyrants]

And Blair wondered why we wouldn't sign that ridiculous treaty.

[another cricket]

He also warned ministers that under the ICC commanders might face a choice between being accused of war crimes or changing rules of engagement to the point where the enemy could be certain of striking first.

Umm, Guys? There was a reason we didn't sign it you know. Next time, try listening before you jump all over us for being isolationist.

The world is not your friend and doesn't have your best interests at heart. You should have learned that by now.

The Brits have gotta get out of this the way we did - Just Say No.

Or is this not permitted for folks in the New and Glorious EU (soon to be Islamic Republic of...)?

[monday]

The British have eliminated themselves as an effective fighting force. Or former allies are now deffenceless. Idiots. Wonder who they will turn to when they are attacked next time.

[Cicero]

The real question is, to whom does the ICC answer? Who elected these judges? Or what elected officials appointed them? Under whose sovereign constitutional aegis do they operate? The EU is already a terrible gray area, consisting of politicians and judges who are answerable to nobody. If you dislike the fiats they pass down, you have no way to throw them out of office, short of bringing down the whole unrepresentative structure.

The ICC is analogous to the Kyoto Treaty. Every socialist country wants to see it imposing rules on somebody else, but no country wants it imposing rules and expenses on them.

Wake up, Blair.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

The Brits knew damned well when they sign up for global governance they would also be subjected to the ICC. Politically we were pee pawed by all and the Brits as we stated this at one of the globalist meetings as our reason for not joining. And now they are whining. Or is it their soldiers waking up to being sold?
