Gosh, I don't think this idea will pass the "global test".
This is not the way to respond to this predicament. Kofi & Son, France, Germany and Russia all played cute with Iraq in defiance of numerous UN resolutions and program regulations. We can do a lot better with this scandal than withold their allowance!
We are probably at the worst of it; funding terrorism by way of U.N. donations just to keep the corrupt 'friends of the U.N.' alive, while they serve their own corrupt interests.
Better for us to STOP the funding; pull the real estate in NYC. . .give these people thirty days to evacuate the premises and and the US as well.
Doubt that this corruption is such a surprise. . .but the Iraq invasion brings the 'discovery phase' of this debacle to the attetetion of the world-at-large.
ie. . ..attention. . .(corr.)
"But one congressional investigator said that a move to reduce or cut off U.S. funding could quickly gain momentum "
Let's help them gain momentum! Phone your homeboys toll free: 1-800-648-3516

Let them stay there.
Just terminate, electricity, natural gas, water, telephone and cable TV service to all UN facilities.
They still have stairs if they want to use the high rise buildings without elevators and without the lights and air conditioning energized by electricity.
They can always carry buckets of water from the river up the stairs. They can knock out windows for fresh air.
One positive result will be for the overpaid crooks at the UN to be forced to live the squalor of the people in their native countries. It will keep them "in touch" with the lifestyles of their people "back home."
UN vampires need blood to survive. Cut off their money (blood) and they'll curl up and die.
The UN was well aware of this and still proceeded to condemn Israel of Human Rights violations.
The UN is over, put it out of it's misery and OURS.
It's about time!!!!
I have a better idea. Let's just kick them out and be done with it.
The UN is accountable to nobody. But at least somebody in congress has the nads to try and tighten the purse strings. Let them headquarter in France.
Is the HBM (has been media) covering this story yet?
I would eliminate the funding, not CUT it!
Tell them that until Koffi fesses up the United States will withold however much Saddam skimmed off. A $21.3 billion tax cut would be very nice.
That's our tax money going to that corrupt bunch at the UN. Stop all funding and get out of the UN and do it soon!
Time to put away the carrot and take out the stick!
