"We are going to kidnap some Americans and cut off their heads."

Organization of American States Secretary-General Miguel Angel Rodriguez made a one-hour visit to Gonaives Wednesday. "The most important thing is to keep the help coming with food and the health situation," he said.

I beg to differ.

Let the French handle this.They're good at it. NOT.

[BenLurkin]

But . . . but . . if we don't feed them, then they won't have the strength to cut off our heads. It's UNFAIR!

Sounds like Al-Zarqawai (sp!) is setting up shop.

No wonder this sh!thole of a country hasn't progressed much in 200 years of independence.

But . . . but . . if we don't feed them, then they won't have the strength to cut off our heads.

Which is cheaper in the long run, rice or napalm?

[Lockbar]

Beheading seems to be a growing Fad. Hoping it doesn't come to a neighborhood near us, soon.

[quantim]

We've got the Islamofacists to thank for this.

[Dat Mon]

ATTENTION...Madeline Albright...foreign policy expert extrordinaire...you have a courtesy call....

[BookaT]

I would like to take this opportunity to thanks MSM's gratuitous promotion of the idea of beheadings without actually showing them

Also the UN is due some thanks for the excellent job it does everywhere. Look how effective they are here in Haiti.

Let us the USA give more money to the UN so we can have more places on earth where innocent civilians are so effectively guarded by these highly motivated and effective PEACEKEEPERs.

SARCASM to the nth degree

[Moonmad27]

This thread simply must have that "Not this ___ Again" picture.

[dasboot]

Must be wonderful to have a pretext for thrill-killing, if you're into that kind of thing; and the "root causes" crowd sure does give these sadistic perverts license to delude themselves that they're a part of something really big, important, and justified.

Mebbe it won't be long before our own courts decide that beheading innocent is a protected form of free political speech. sigh.

Revoke the UN lease in Manhattan, and move them all to Haiti. If the parking-ticket shirking "diplomats" at the UN want to show everyone how to run a country, let Haiti be their shining example.

Another excellent job of "peacekeeping" by the mighty UN. A few weeks ago, NBC ran a clip showing the UN "peacekeepers" running away in fear from a mob with a truck full of supplies they were supposed to distribute, crushing and killing a young boy before they barricaded themselves in the compound (along with the supplies).

It reminded me of the chaotic scenes in Iraq in the first days after the war -- only the coalition troops didn't cut and run when the crowd swarmed the trucks, and the food got distributed.

[vaudine]

Don't forget to thank the Clinton Admin. for putting Aristede back in power with millions of our dollars. Aristede was always a horrible dictator--that is why he was recently invited to leave.

Every single time I hear the concept of the UN being in charge of Iraq, I picture this type of situation. I wonder how Kosovo is doing these days?

[F16Fighter]

Gee, wouldn't condoms and "stern words" solve everything?

[BenLurkin]

Yup, Aristede was a FOB ("Friend of Bill").

[BenLurkin]

Midnight basketball


and


legalized drugs.

[Palladin]

What a hellhole!

Prayers for all our missionaries down there. And the service organizations.

Why do we even bother to try to bring civilization to this godforsaken place?
