But you see, that doesn't matter. No matter what America does, it is never enough. There was nothing Bush could have said to that inept body yesterday that would have made them view America in a positive light. Nothing.

Hit the nail on the head. Replace "inept body" with "most liberals" and it's just as true.

I wouldn't expect the U.N. to applaud the speech either. If they do, then G.W. wasn't making a very good speech.

US out of UN. UN out of US.

Throw the bums out and let them go set up camp in Iraq or Darfur.

Those pigss come here and feed at the trough, while people in their home countries starve. They enjoy all the benefits of living in New York, instead of, say, Khartoum--and yet they badmouth us and our way of life.

Who needs them? They are nothing but parasites.

In May I was in Khatmandu while some UN-type conference or other was being held. The restaurant at the hotel stopped serving a la carte, and offered only a buffet during the time it was filled with multiple delegations from Africa and Asia. Maybe people were starving back home, but these fine representatives were fat and happy scarfing down the vittles.

That's all the UN is: a free buffet line for a bunch of America haters in costume.

It is clear as President Kerry would care more about what the UN wants then what the US wants and would set policy to satisfy all the UN cronies.

[SuziQ]

I frankly don't give a rat's rear end if the tyrants and despots at the UN liked the President's speech or not. He spoke the truth to them; they just didn't want to hear it.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

A leader who gets raucous applause at the UN will be in the process of selling this nation down the river.

[prairiebreeze]

Considering the duplicitous nature of this organization, it makes me feel pretty good that they were cool to my President.

Screw the UN. The more they hate us, the more I know we're the right thing. Bravo, W!

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Who cares how the UN received W...the point is how do potentional voters feel about him, and I can tell you that the President is scheduled for a campaign stop (after he reviews the flood damage in the Pittsburgh area) today in Latrobe, PA (at the Arnold Palmer Airport). Over 15,000 tickets were distributed (I was too late--gone by Monday a.m and the notice went out on this visit just this past Saturday). The time is set for 4:00 pm. During the workday...I know of families taking their kids out of school today, parents missing work to go out there just to see/hear him briefly. That folks, is the reception that counts!!!

I saw the speech on C-Span last night. It made me proud to have GWB as our leader.

He basically told those dickheads, we have just done what you were supposed to do.

Now you'd better get with the program or it's off to irrelevancy for you.

[ride the whirlwind]

President Bush did exactly as he needed to do in the speech. He kept to his word of 3 years ago when he said, ""We will not tire. We will not falter. We will not fail." The anti-Americans in the room don't matter in the long run.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Love that last paragraph!

[tiki]

Bush talked about freedom and honorable actions so of course, he didn't get an ecstatic reception. These UN goons have presided over millions of deaths without lifting a hand and in some cases exacerbating the situation.

[tdadams]

I saw a photo that Reuters is running today of Kofi Annan and Bush toasting with a glass of wine.

No doubt the DUmmies will be all over it this morning calling Bush a drunk!

[MissAmericanPie]

The U.N. needs to be disbanded, and we should close our markets to any nation still propping that corrupt, from the bottom brick up, institution.

If the idea of forming a new organization that only accepts members with elected leaders comes about, the only charter should be the agreement for civil discourse. What does the U.N. need with a Constitution, misnamed "Charter", that claims sovereignty and power?

The U.N. is corrupt and very ambitious, and while so many keep blathering on about how weak it is, it is exerting far more power with Agenda 21 and back door conquests of resources, land, and daily human life than it is entitled to.

Individual governments can employ Agenda 21 to grab land, control resources, and harm the individuals rights to his private property. Biospheres, Clinton's Rivers projects, the denial of cattlemen to graze their cattle, Klamath Falls, all can be laid at the door of politicians using the U.N. Agenda 21 as a tool against the rights of citizens.

Just one idea to leave you with. Can you imagine what would happen if the United States announced that at some time certain it was going to withdraw from the United Nations and cease all further funding. At that time the United States would form a new international organization loosely modeled after the UN .. but with one huge difference. Only states who's leaders are popularly elected in open and free elections, and who place civilians in charge of the military, will be allowed to join.

Outstanding idea!

It is my understanding that it is customary at the UN to NOT applaud during a speech.
