As if kissing every powder-blue hiney thats paraded in front of him isn't bad enough, now it seems (according to the June 28 issue of The New American) President Bush is pushing to spend $606 million (Defense Dept dollars) to help train a UN standing army. More of our tax dollars spent on UN social elite globalists. How lovely. My disenchantment with President Bush all started with his amnesty for illegals scheme and things seem to be going downhill. I wonder... is he trying to make me not vote for him??
"Now I havent worked out the figure that probably is necessary because that would take some time, but were talking about billions of dollars being required here. In the low billions, but were talking about billions, not millions," he says."
I'm sure after Bush is elected they'll see triple whatever they are asking for.
Think of it as the ultimate in outsourcing. ;-)
In my humble opinion, there should be "No Standing UN Army"...NONE!!! America can lend troops to a coalition of the willing for this hot spot or that, but there should NEVER be a UN Army!!

Dubbed the Global Peace Operations Initiative, the campaign will be aimed largely at Africa.
The program will also assist armies in Asia, Latin America and Europe, with the goal of training up to 75,000 foreign troops.
