How dare our USA Ambassador to the UN backtalk one of our masters--we being lowly "colonials," "American Yanks-septic tanks" and the like? [Little irony, sarcasm and humor there.]

""The UN's role is in effect a secret in middle America even as it is highlighted in the Middle East and other parts of the world," he said."

Nope its not a secret. We just don't like what the UN does. If there are any lingering doubts look to Africa and all of the UN "successes" there.

The UN is completely corrupt and lacks any perspective for the individual. All that matters to the UN is where they can steal money and the wishes of the latest dictator.

Let's try this on for size and shove it down his throat:
(NOTE: *= putting the shoe on the other foot)

The *US ambassador John Bolten*, antagonised *The UN* after suggesting that the *UN* administration was happy to use the *US* as a diplomatic tool while failing to defend it from critics *around the world*.

Mr *John Bolten* told a conference in New York that "the prevailing *[UN]* practice of seeking to use the *US* almost by stealth as a diplomatic tool while failing to stand up for it against its *foreign* critics is simply not sustainable. You will lose the *US* one way or another."

*UN headquarters*, he said, was too happy to tolerate "too much unchecked *US*-bashing and stereotyping".

[Redcloak]

OK... We'll stop sniping at the UN if they agree to stop being low-life crooks, the friends of tyrants, and abettors of mass murder.

Kofi used to be a hot-dog cart vendor at McCallaster College in Minnesota.

Now, he's running the friggin UN. Bizzare.

[Dallas59]

Screw him and the UN.

Mr Malloch Brown's speech was delivered at a conference sponsored by two think tanks, the Center for American Progress and the Century Foundation. Well, there we go- another reason to despise the UN:

* Center for American Progress aka CAP :
I'm reading Madam Hillary which is a more interesting book than I thought it would be.
Page 28 mentions that Hillary has organized and gotten funding (with the help of Soros and others) for several think tanks including the Center for American Progress. The Center has a 501(c)4 designation which permits the propoganda section to be more aggressively partisan.
Sara Wartell, a veteran of the Clinton administration, is the Center's chief operating officer. The Center focuses on hot button issues in Washington with an eye to influencing Congress, the public and the media through a sophisticated rapid response media campaign.
The rapid response media campaign is run by Debbie Berger, the daughter of Sandy Berger!

Bolten is a star performer in the UN, this whiny Brit lecturing about middle America is quite ridiculous. Atleast middle America has more class,culture and morals than the soccer mad British yobbos residing in their stinkin cities.

[MEG33]

His comments provoked a furious response from John Bolten, the pugnacious American ambassador to the UN. "I spoke to the secretary-general this morning, I said 'I've known you since 1989 and I'm telling you this is the worst mistake by a senior UN official that I have seen in that entire time," said Mr Bolten.

Go Bolton!

[Rockingham]

And Mark Malloch Brown is said to be a pro-US reformer. We have very few friends in the UN nest of snakes.

[mkjessup]

Screw you Malloch, and the pony you rode in on.

[Question Liberal Authority]

One easy way for the sniping to stop at the UN would be for them to disband the organization and go home.

Worked for all that sniping at the League of Nations.

[Caipirabob]

Yes, I believe they come in "Pathetic Socialist Boot licker Scum" size too, Malloch.

[TeddyCon]

Gallup poll reported that 64 percent of Americans had a poor opinion of the United Nations

And we all know how tight Rush & Fox are with the Gallup folks.

Memo To Mark Malloch Brown RamaLama DingDong:

Kiss ( 22% of ) Our American "Arse", is it?

[hershey]

Thank God for Ambassador Bolton. All we'd need is the likes of Madeline Allnuts down in Turtle Bay.

[hershey]

If the UN mattered, it wouldn't need a pep squad.

[cdrw]

Okay. Let's say that the corruption, effectiveness ... are all improved dramatically. It still doesn't matter. Millions of us here in the US are simply not on the "world government" program and we never will be. The UN shouldn't be anything more than a debating society; a forum for discussion on what ultimately turn out to be bilateral or multilateral agreements. The world perception that "unilateral" action is forbidden and that UN approval is required for everything derives from the UN's vision of itself as the grand federal structure over the world.

We have no intentions of subjecting ourselves to world government regardless of how sincere or efficient that government may be. This complainer just doesn't get it. Bolton is right. The guy is directly attacking our intelligence. Cut off the budget!

[EBH]

Washington, he said, was too happy to tolerate "too much unchecked UN-bashing and stereotyping".

To the second in command at the UN; This is just a reminder that here in the US we do in fact have REAL Freedom of Speech and REAL Freedom of the Press. That means our government does not have the ability to censor or stifle information from the American people. It is the first blatant call for dhimmitude coming from the UN.

The real headline to this story should have been:

UN Attacks US for Freedom of the Press

[OldSmaj]

...Mr Annan's spokesman said the secretary-general stood by Mr Malloch Brown's comments.

Yeah, he would.

The United Nations is one of the largest sucking holes that our tax money goes down each year.

The likes of Annan and all the other gun-grabbing, liberal, one-world do-nothing pieces of dog excrement steal every penny they can, and what they can't steal for themselves, they direct into the coffers of the likes of Mugabe and other lowlifes around the world.

We need to get the hell out of the UN.

And turn that building in NY into a detention center for all the illegal invaders that we catch, before we send them back to the pus holes from whence they came.

We could start with Kofi Annan.

[Straight Vermonter]

I'd say this entitles us to criticise all we like.
