Come and Get Them

A Spanish judge has issued arrest warrants for three of our soldiers for an incident in the Iraq War that we investigated and deemed justified under the circumstances:


A judge has issued an international arrest warrant for three U.S. soldiers whose tank fired on a Baghdad hotel during the Iraq war, killing a Spanish journalist and a Ukrainian cameraman, a court official said Wednesday.

And some want us to submit to the tender mercies of the International Criminal Court? I hope our State Department has a stack of "Bite Me" form letters to send off to Madrid.

I'd chalk it up to an activist judge, but he's using Spanish law and after the big Iraq bug out by Spain after 11 M, I find it hard to give them the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps Spain should just withdraw from NATO and good luck defending the Reconquista against the jihadis on their own.

I'm sure the Belgians will be a great help when the next crisis erupts at Melilla or Parsley Island.
