Happy fisking, fellow Freepers.

Not worth the effort, but it is nice to see so many leftists willing to go down with the UN ship.

"If the world's most respected institution of international governance is rendered impotent by accusations as distorted and exaggerated as these, we should all fear the consequences."

The above statement is a little after the fact. The writer should wake up. The UN has been impotent for years. Gravity must have taken over their manhood.

Likewise, the maritime smuggling that took place under the nose of "the UN" in fact took place under the nose of something called the Multinational Interception Force, a group of member nations that responded to the general invitation of the Security Council for nations to interdict Iraqi smuggling. The "UN" Multinational Interception Force turns out to have consisted almost entirely of the US Navy.

What's the terrestrial equivalent of icebreakers? Land brakers? Our navy has these and patrolled the Iraqi borders with Iran, Turkey, Syria and Jordan? I'm impressed!

I think this writer is about as phobic as John Kerry about saying the word "France." Haven't seen many "liberal" responses to Food for Oil yet, maybe this dissembling rant will be the prototype.

But it would also have been in direct violation of clear UN policies--hardly an indicator of institutional corruption.

LOL, I am amazed by the tight coherence of the reasoning. Like every corrupt sinkhole in the world doesn't have lots of laws against corruption.

[Trepz]

precisely because the United States was unable to provide any compelling evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction

This moronic idiot even bypasses the assertion by the un saying that hussein still had WMDs. It's not a question of whether hussein had WMDs, but where he has them hidden. Of course, idiots like this one and the rest of the MSM and european idiots continue to ignore the facts and spout their lies.

My 2¢'s about the UN?

Neal Boortz has the right idea- kick them off US soil, plop them down in Haiti, and tell them, "when you get this straightened out, give us a call..."

Moreover:

--Sex abuse charges rock UN in Congo-
-- Interesting this is being posted today. Talk show host Dennis Prager had the Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Doree Gold, on his show today. Mr. Gold has just written a book about the UN called the Tower of Babble(i think this was the title). Some of the things he was saying about the UN were unbelievable.

--TV campaign urging: Kick U.N. out of U.S.-
"I say we just give the entire country of Haiti to the UN."--or move them to Zimbabwe or another country in Africa. Let them see what the really do for the world.

--UN knew of Saddam's oil-for-food thefts: BBC-
The sooner we resign from this corrupt organization and kick them off our soil, the better.
