I wish somebody would drag Kofi out of his office and put Helen Thomas' underwear on his head so he'd understand exactly where the war crimes' line is.
Simpson's twinge shiver. [ If you can spell that, please do.]

[Amerigomag]

You really know how to ferret out the stories that pull our chains.

Keep up the good work.

It is now your sworn obligation to post the story when it is discovered that Bertrand Ramcharan participated in the unfolding oil for food scandal.

[LoudRepublicangirl]

Hoo-Yah!

[go star go]

i wanna seem them wimp ass sob's arrest an American. go ahead... make our day...

[DoughtyOne]

What is 'unAmerican' Alex?

The United Nations is unAmerican.

John F'n Kerry=Rock and a Hard Place

[wimpycat]

Hot air. Ain't gonna happen. Just wishful thinking on the part of the Eurosnots and their American counterparts.

As Bush I said (according to Dana Carvey): NA-GA-DA!

[Prime Choice]

If John French Kerry wins in November, those troops are doomed.

Quite true...even though Kerry claimed he'd accept full responsibility for what happened.

I wouldn't mind seeing Kerry hung out to dry by his own mealy-mouthed U.N. "heroes."

Get the US out of the UN

[Lijahsbubbe]

I wonder if the UN is equally enthusiastic about being prosecuted for the Oil for FUBAR scam.

Yes. Let's make sure the criminals involved in the oil for food scandal get prosecuted first.

Will there be anyone left to do the prosecuting for the UN after that's complete?

[swilhelm73]

What better way for Kofi to keep his son's oil-for-food fraud off the front pages?

I expect he will try to push this if the US government doesn't bury what it has been digging up on him...

[cardinal4]

The United States was one of 135 nations to sign the treaty under former President Bill Clinton. But President George W. Bush's administration rescinded the signature, fearing the court could bring politically motivated or frivolous cases against U.S. troops serving on foreign soil.

For this very reason. Up yours, Kofi!

[Righty1]

You wouldn't sanction us and you bugged out, F you and yours!

[Mo1]

Exactly

[Travis McGee]

Only UNamericans put the UN before America!

[Chad Fairbanks]

Oh Please UN give us any and all reasons to pull out of you and kick you off our soil.

Can't we give them a couple more punishing thrusts first, before we pull out of them?

[Dimez Apart]

Kofi, PLEASE give us a reason to leave. PLEASE!!!

[rrrod]

Just a thought here....could we form a formal petition stating something like "We will protect the US Military personel from any group,country or organization, at all cost" ??

[metesky]

Un-uniformed combatants (terrorists) and classic bullshit artists. Most of them could have (should have) been shot on the spot in the field.

Get U.S. out of the U.N. now!

[samtheman]

The United Nations is a continuing criminal enterprise. The building should be raided and seized under RICO, the diplomats deported, the lesser workers sentenced to community service and the property sold off to the highest bidder.
