Why don't the rest of you useless p.o.s. countries pony up some dough?

As a citizen of the United States of America, I thumb my nose at the useless waste of flesh that comprises most of the rest of the world.

You can rob us blind in taxes and we still dominate your asses.

We're better impaired than you are un-impaired.

" The United States had offered a $1.2 billion loan at 5.54 percent to pay for the project. But Annan decided it would cost less if U.N. members kicked in the needed cash in the form of additional dues over a four- or five-year period"

Actually, anon got his panties in a twist when the U.S. ( Dubya) refused to give them a intrest free loan, with a provision for total forgiveness in it.

If it's not free kofi doesn't want it.

Have any of you read "Global Deception" by Joseph Klein?

I got my copy last Wednesday, stayed up all night and read it, and it is scary to think if we don't keep an eye on the U.N. we are going to be in SERIOUS TROUBLE....no wonder President Bush wanted Mr. Bolton in the U.N.

By the way, this is ANOTHER reason to keep Hill/Billy OUT of the White House and U.N.

I would be willing to give them the $100 million if they would take the whole thing out of this country and I do not care where they put it.

Donald Trump at a Senate Committee hearing discussing this in July 2005. It is great:

Why don't all those U.N. "members" renovate that crappy building with their Oil-For-Food profits?

Seriously, I have long thought the UN headquarters should rotate every five or six years from one continent to another, and should each time be located in the most contentious area on the continent. That way the UN would learn to shit or get off the pot in a hurry. They would learn the real meaning of negotiating. Meanwhile, since their pampered membership like to eat and sleep well, and pass water and gas in peace, the host country would benefit in terms of a substantial development of a service industry which would perhaps remain even after the UN moved on. And if the temporary host country had little else to make it attractive, they could at least gussy-up the former UN headquarters and the former international school if idiots had not yet blown up either or both or religious or ethnic grounds!

And it would get those ruddy and rank UN bastards out of New York City, which could then allow private enterprises to tear down that insignificant and architecturally- challenged edifice and replace it with something of vastly greater economic and cultural value in about 18 months, or maybe 8 months.

"UN: a movable feist, fist, fest, feast, fossil, fart(oops), should have said phlegm!"
