13. He also mentioned the nicknamed "Hague Invasion Act" of 2002
Therefore it is just that Bush and Blair be arraigned before the International Criminal Court of Justice. But Bush has been clever. He has not ratified the International Criminal Court of Justice. Therefore if any American soldier or for that matter politician finds himself in the dock Bush has warned that he will send in the marines.

The "American Servicemembers Protection Act of 2002" actually legislates for the use of military force to liberate any American held by the court. Human Rights Watch nicknamed this the "Hague Invasion Act".
