Belchium Scraps War Crimes Law Which Angered U.S.
Edited for length...BRUSSELS: Belgium said Saturday it has decided to scrap a controversial war crimes law which has seen cases launched against President Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Not to mention biting one of their own... Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt said his new government, sworn in Saturday, has decided as one of its first acts to scrap the law which has angered the United States. "Now, please, can we have the money for the NATO HQ?" He told a news conference the move was aimed at preventing abuses of the law, which has also seen a case launched against British Prime Minister Tony Blair. "I think we have definitely solved this question," Verhofstadt said, hours after his government had been sworn in by King Albert II. I canât wait to here the whining from the EUnuchs about giving in to the US pressure. Hey Verhofstadt, just tell them Bush used his Cowboy-Fu powers and you were powerless to resist.
