An international prosecutor, Fatou Bensuda, was advised Thursday by a panel at Hague that she should go ahead and investigate alleged war crimes committed by Americans in Afghanistan. It’s a shocking development. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called the International Criminal Court panel’s ruling “a truly breathtaking action by an unaccountable political institution masquerading as a legal body.” It is, but what to do?
In a little noticed address to the American Israel Public Affairs
The author is wrong, the ICC was not a mistake. It was created with the intention of trying American and Israeli soldiers, even if neither country ever entered the agreement. That it took this long is somewhat surprising, but that it did not happen immediately is not. They hoped to establish the ICC as a credible "court of justice" before going after its true targets.

that ICC court is as bad as the demoKKKrats. Crooked. Only reason that court was formed was to accuse our soldiers of false accusations.
Get our soldiers out of there. Don't allow this to happen.

When WW2 was winding down British Prime Minister Winston Churchill cautioned Joseph Stalin to consider the views of the Vatican. To this the Soviet leader responded “How many divisions does the Pope of Rome have?”
How many divisions does the Hague have and what power do they have over the United States or Israel.
They have no jurisdiction over the United States as we do not belong to their cabal
This is a politically motivated move against soldiers of the United States, exactly the reason we do not belong to their confederacy.

It's way past time to let our association with the U.N. go the way of the League of Nations.

All the U.N. wants to do is scam money from the US and pass resolutions condemning Israel. It's high time, no, way past high time, that these Lilliputian burearcrats lost their prime real estate in NYC and were relocated to a spot in the world where their expertise would be put to better use. I vote for Timbuktu, second choice Antarctica.

Oh, what to do? What to do? For Pete's sake, tell the ICC to go pound sand and then have the U.S. military carry on as usual.
Why all the hair on fire about this nonsense? They only have power if we allow them to have power!

I seem to recall the UN Blue Helmets raping young girls in Africa while refusing to protect villagers from rebels. None of those UN troops were from the US. None were prosecuted as far as I know. Just covered up and disappeared. That renders any moral judgement from the UN as hypocritical to say the least. I have never thought the UN was a good idea to begin with and it has only gotten worse. Time to solve the homeless problem in NY by giving them the UN building.

Trump should definitely immediately suspend any and all monetary support by the US to the UN if they proceed with this rubbish.
Further, the multibillion project to modernize the UN Building and complex (at mostly US cost) should be PUT ON HOLD while the US reevaluates the value of the continued presence of the UN Headquarters in New York, and the value of the continued membership of the US in the UN

ICC is a Kangaroo Kourt, and the USA never signed on to be ruled by these Klowns.
What they say is not law, is not valid.

Dear UN,
If you even start writing up the order to prosecute any American citizen ( military or otherwise), we will immediately cease contributing to your Beluga caviar and champagne . The next day the locks go on the UN Building in New York .
Please advise soonest of your plans in this matter.
Hurry up,
The Good Guys

Of course these former powers want to take down the U.S. We are not buying what they're selling.

George S Patton, Jr. said many years ago the most concise summary of international law, “There is but one international law: the best Army!” Looks like Trump might have a chance to show the ICC if that's correct.

They better not send any of the blue helmets here. EVER.
Those things make great targets. A good shot can hit one out to 500 yds pretty much every time, probably farther.

What to do ??? Tell the UN to relocate to Guyana and get by without US bucks. Things will get very quiet while they hope we don't mean it and then lock the doors in NYC.

If Obama were still president, he would allow this. Beware Hillary or Michelle getting anywhere near the WH.
