What's the story,can the Crime Family go to the Hague?


I thought I read that the US is not officially a member of the Hague countries.

I thought I heard that even though we are not on the official group list, we are recognized as a member in some way.


My bottom line is that I want them in their seats at the Hague for their War Crimes!

Why can't the Entire World try them?

1. Research the bill that passed in the past year or two.
It was the one wherein the Republican controlled Congress voted to allow military force to remove ANY american who is held at the Hague for war crimes. We are authorized, apparently, to attack the Hague if Bush or any other American he chooses to rescue, is charged.

Try googling: Congress Hague Military force... or a phrase like that. It's there.

4. That would make my day but


I thought that couldn't happen because we don't have the majority in Congress.

5. The day the Iraq war started;
I went online to the Hague looking for a way that would start the ball rolling with war crimes against the admin. On their site, the Hague said that a country had to make the case for war. Well, since I have all sorts of German ancestors I emailed the German ambassador to the US. I thought that since Germany and the US were pissed at each other at the moment I might get something started. Unfortunately, I never heard anything back. Not that I really expected to, it was a decent try at that. Maybe all I did was give a chuckle to some German web master at the embassy that night.

8. Hey,hey, hey ~ love this line of reasoning


Wouldn't it have been lovely for Bush to try to open that red door and handcuffs would have been waiting for him!

Oh happy day!
