I'd be laughing at the UN if they weren't so dangerous. The UN has almost single-handedly promoted islamic terrorism to the world stage.
US out of UN now!!!
Preferable after Clinton is named Sec. Gen. - 2 sh_tbirds with one stone!
The UN is a joke and will be saddened and shocked on 01/20/05!
They sure wanted to if it involved our military !
They sure as hell don't want the nitty-gritty of their dealings with Hussein out before the world
"U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan's office sent the court's chief prosecutor, Carla Del Ponte, a letter barring her staff from attending the week-long conference..."
So now we have Emperor Kofi? HE makes all the decisions?
Yep the UN is definitely in trouble and headed out of
New York, I hope!
I can't imagine why Bush made this request, unless he knew he'd be turned down. Involving the UN in the process would be a total disaster from every point of view. Not only because they would do a lousy job in Iraq, but because it would lend the UN further legitimacy in the bogus field of international law.
The UN needs to be kicked out of the US. Now. They are rendering themselves totally irrelevant. Rendering, as the process of turning roadkill carcasses into pure lard.
Of course they don't want to be involved in any legally applied death penalty. After all, that would be something legal. But, it's OK to drag feet while tens of thousands are murdered, starved, tortured in various places around the world as islamic terrorists grip more and more political power.
Their hatred is so pronounced against the U.S., that they can't even see their way clear to help U.S. ally Iraq carry out a legitimate war crimes trial.
Iraq could have decided to do a closed door trial, but instead wanted to make sure the procedings were above board and fair.
Hussein's actions killed millions, but the U.N. determins it's inhumane to consider his execution. This is a highly immoral stance.
