Last week, the Trump administration in the person of secretary of state Mike Pompeo gave the European international set another swift and deserved kick in the derrière. That's when the secretary of state made it known that the U.S. will not grant visas to members of the International Criminal Court (ICC) who attempt to come here to investigate any alleged war crimes by members of the American military in Afghanistan. The ICC has been making noises to that effect. Pompeo also said economic sanctions could follow if the ICC persists. Before getting into the matter, some background on the ICC...

The attack brought the U.S. toll to a grim new milestone - 1,000 American soldiers dead in Afghanistan since the war began in 2001, the independent Web site icasualties.org. reported. The fighting continued into today as insurgents launched a predawn assault against the U.S.-run Bagram Air Field.

A Dem congressman from Washington state, who opposed the war, has stood up for America and our troops. Not surprisingly, the leftist America-haters have jumped on him. Moveon.org is running ads against him. He needs to hear from you. A few days ago I called Brian Baird's DC office to thank him. This morning, I called the Vancouver office, giving them my name and location: Will you please pass on a message to the congressman? (Answer: yes) Please tell him that my son in law, who is stationed at Oak Harbor, is on an aircraft carrier, probably off the coast...
