Germany is presently looking into bringing criminal charges against Donald Rumsfeld and other U.S. officials over allegations of prisoner abuse in Iraq and Guantanimo Bay. Clearly this move is a direct result of the continuing fallout of the midterm elections that sent rabid anti-war extremists to power in Congress.
German law gives their courts 'universal jurisdiction' when prosecuting certain individuals for certain crimes. A former U.S. Brigadier General, Janis Karpinski, is said to be cooperating with the plaintiffs in the lawsuit in Germany.
Germany attempted to bring charges against Rumsfeld once before in 2004 but dropped the charges under threats from Rumsfeld to snub a summit held in Germany. The German court dropped the suit stating that it appeared U.S. courts would prosecute the Defense Secretary. Now that Rumsfeld is no longer a government official, and now that leftwing extremists all over the world have a sympathetic ear in Congress, Germany obviously felt it could proceed with the charges since the U.S. courts failed to do so.
So, it now comes to this. U.S. Courts are obligated to do the bidding of a foreign court in Europe, the result of the growing trend toward a new world order under the control of the United Nations and the European Union. And if our courts fail to do their bidding, they then bring charges against U.S. government officials.
The move casts a dire dark cloud over the horizon. If a German court can do this, then no U.S. serviceman is safe from the threat of international prosecution.
Germany, like the rest of Western Europe, is gradually sinking into the abyss of Muslim Jihadist uprisings, the result of the refusal of European governments to directly challenge the tenets of Islamic extremists in the name of 'multiculturalism' Rather, Germany would prefer to go after U.S. government officials than deal with the growing problem of Jihadists that are on the march throughout Europe. In fact, this move shows that the German government is now solidly under the influence of the Jihadist mindset. To prosecute Rumsfeld will be viewed as a victory for Muslim extremists, just as the Democrat rise to power in Congress has Jihadist insurgents dancing in the streets throughout the Middle East.
So now we have reached the precarious situation where Hugo Chavez, Osama bin Laden, Al Qaeda, North Korea, the U.S. Communist Party, and Germany stand together as comrades at arms.
The question is, what will our new fearless leaders in Congress who are at least partially responsible for the fact that we have reached this dreadful state of affairs say about all this?
Don't be too shocked if you hear at least a few say that President Bush and the entire Administration should be hauled in before the International Criminal Court to face charges. After all, Bill Clinton and the Democrats were pushing for the U.S. to join the ICC before the election of Bush.
