It WAS a command center, but the Reuters F**ks are too STUPID to know that or too LAZY to find out. They are shills for Islamofascism.

[glock rocks]

we can't go to belgium?

bummer. hey, NATO,

[Dog Gone]

Dissolving NATO would take care of the problem, because there is no other reason to go to Belgium, anyway.

[george wythe]

By his own admission, Castro has executed tens of thousands of people for political "crimes."

During the 1970s, Castro sent his troops to Africa to support Marxist guerrilla movements. Eyewitness accounts relate the mass killings of tribes considered potential sympathizers with the enemies of the Marxist guerrillas.

None of those crimes have ever been investigated by the UN or Belgium.

But again, do anyone here really think that the North Korean Butcher Extraordinaire is going to be indicted in Belgium soon?

[oldtimer]

This so called World Court can go pound sand up their clintons.

BTW, and as you probably know, libs like xlinton have long lusted that we would be part of the "world community", meaning that we subvert ourselves to the UN communist pacifist cannibal club.

Let's build our top secret missile/nuclear defense technology, get the UN the hell out of the US...and I think GWB is on a roll.

I think back to the 2000 campaign and the libs were all over FreeRepublic "Go Pat Go", bashing GWB as disguised Conservatives.

We have a great POTUS, and maybe the UN will end up in Paris before this is all over.

[george wythe]

The US has nothing to fear from these Belgian court cases as all the actions taken by the US military are legal

What is legal in the US might be illegal in Belgium.

As a matter of fact, Belgium keeps changing its own laws in order to accommodate this political theater.

[glock rocks]

what should the United States do about the belgium condition?

here's my recommendation...

[MississippiMan]

It's like the world has forgotten that people die in war. That's what it is. It's a tragic thing, but the tragedy makes people want to avoid the next one.

The next time Dick Cheney is in Europe, he needs to drop in on the Belgians, sit down with their top 2 or 3 HMWIC's in whatever kind of pissant government they have, look them in the eye, and tell them that if they arrest and hold any American citizens for prosecutions under this, that we will consider it an act of war.

And then he should immediately leave, with no opportunity for questions.

[HBAR223]

It is Saddam who put the shelter under a military target. He is the one guilty of war crimes.
BTW... Dr. Evil is from Belgium.

[PETAMember]

The Belgians have an unmatched history of attacking their protectors and sucking up to their enemies. In the opening days of BOTH WW1 and WW2, these dimbulbs concluded that Britain and France were the biggest threats to their sacred neutrality, and barred the Allies from forward-basing troops. Of course, both times, the shrewd Belgians ended up playing doormat for the Germans. What hope is there for a people who just refuse to learn?

[Cicero]

Maybe they should worry about the child rapists and murderers high up in the Belgian government before they worry about political crimes abroad.

First,

Let them indict Rumsfeld

Second,

Have Rumsfield go to Belgium and be arrested by the

"frog-lites"

Third,

Rumsfield waits on the tarmac for extraction after kicking the ass of the entire Belgium government.

Yeah, looks like it's about time to re-open the Warsaw Pact under new management.

Interesting way to look at it.

[Wolfstar]

Actually, these actions have been taken under Belgian law, not the International Criminal Court. The goofy Belgian legislature passed a law that enables their courts to try heads of state and others for "war crimes." As for the International Criminal Court, Clinton signed the ICC treaty, but the Senate never ratified it. When he took office, President Bush rescinded his predecessor's signature. So we are not a party to the treaty that created the ICC.

I prefer Atlantis myself.

[4integrity]

Count me in!

[americanbychoice]

We didn't join the world court, thank god. This is a Belgian law that the legislature passed, the first to be indicted was Sharon. If they keep this up, we may have to sever relations with that country, which has become too big for it's britches. It is the center of Eurabia.

[willy WOXOF]

how come the TOON got a pass?

never mind
