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.

American Policy Center on-line Declaration of Independence from the U.N.

Numerous Star Tribune readers have pointed out -- appropriately, in our view -- that if Coleman wants to investigate scandal, he need not go as far afield as the United Nations. He could start with those really nice contracts that Vice President Dick Cheney's former firm, Halliburton, got in Iraq. He could move on to the abuses at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo.

SSDD. Can they never come up with a response to the charges? Kofi is running a criminal enterprise where billions of dollars have disappeared. It puts the Mafia, the Yakuza, Enron, and maybe even the drug cartels to shame. But libs ignore it in favor of yelling 'Halliburton and 'Abu Ghraib' and 'Guatanamo'.

Oooooh yeah, there's panic in the hallowed halls of the left. This is the first squeal. Just wait 'till the pig gets stuck a few more times.

Even if it were true that we have no proof that Kofi knew or profited, than he's obviously TOO incompetent to handle the job when this level and expanse of corruption can go on under his nose.

Note that no one has the slightest whiff of proof that Annan knew about, condoned or profited from this scandal.

If he didn't know .. it shows how incompetent he was in running the UN

The UN is nothing but a corrupt institution that stands by and allows hundreds of thousands of people to be killed and does nothing to stop it .. and that's just in Iraq under Saddam's rule

We haven't even discussed all the other countries where people have suffered because the UN was to busy collecting their bribes

. . .U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, a splendid public servant whom the city Sen. Norm Coleman once governed has considered a semi-native son since his years at Macalester College.

The media bastion of Twin Cities myopic liberalism lavishes encomium on a corrupt moneygrubber who once attended the most myopically liberal Twin Cities university.

The Strib is certainly nothing if not predicable.

(snip) Note that no one has the slightest whiff of proof that Annan knew about, condoned or profited from this scandal. Furthermore, when the scandal surfaced, Annan appointed former Fed chairman and man of impeccable honor Paul Volcker to thoroughly investigate the matter. Volcker's report, which both he and Annan have promised will be made public, is still a work in progress.

Do you think this rag would have been so forgiving had it been Dick Cheney's son working for Halliburton? Or Neil Bush on the board of a savings and loan? Hypocrites.

How many French does it take to change a light bulb?

Well, first, there has to be a UN security resolution demanding a change - but only if the light bulb can be proved to be burned out and not just in a quantum state of flux.

Second, there should be an increase in the number and frequency of inspectors and inspections to determine that the light bulb is not just burned out, but a genuine threat to the rest of the world. There has to be a "smoking filament" or else the changing of the bulb would be considered unnecessary since the light bulb poses no threat to world stability, let alone in breach of said resolution by illuminating anything other than it's own space.

Third, there should be endless debate about the ramifications of light bulb change. How do we know the next light bulb will be a more co operative light bulb and illuminate our lives?

Fourth, France will in no way support a violent action in changing the light bulb. There must be a peaceful solution to this light bulb change; violent action is unacceptable.

Fifth, without a broad coalition that supports light bulb change, any action to change the bulb will be considered a breach of the "spirit" of the UN resolution regarding the light bulb.
