The Left is ripping off the mask. It's becoming a straight powergrab, a straight gimme. The public good manners are going out the window. The culture wars were always a civil war, but restricted to cultural weapons.

UN inaction after 17 failed resolutions....the UN has become irrelevant.

The US had every right to attack Iraq under the existing resolutions to ensure compliance. Many of these resolutions stated "serious consequences" implying the use of force which was approved by the Security Council.

Suggest on 03NOV04 we all get our vehicles and line up in front of the UN and help them move their dumb butts out of our country. Let them set up shop in Sudan or Iran or North Korea.

Of course it was illeagal for Koffi. His son was working for a european oil co. with a no-bid contract to sell Iraq's "oil for food". His kids gravy train has been cut off.

This isn't really new. Anan has made similar statements before, only to "clarify" his statements later.

Hey Kofi! Is the ongoing slaughter by Moslems in the Sudan legal? Has Osama bin Laden been subjected to the same verbal chastisement as George Bush?
