Precisely why it should be the ICC prosecuting. If a US official or dignitary was apprehended abroad and taken to the ICC to face charges the US would be forced to show it's hand on the matter, then progress can happen in whatever manner is necessary from there.

Agreed, my point was simply that the US isn't party to the ICC, and has no intent to be, precisely because they don't want it validly turned against them.
