UN 'failing to co-ordinate relief efforts'

Financial Times ^ | 01/07/05 | David Ibison and Jake Lloyd Smith

They coordinate Swiss bank accounts real well.

Instead of trying to create a one world government, how's about they concentrate on the original mission which was to provide a forum for dialogue,and humanitarian aid.

They've had 50 years to perfect aid distribution and all they have done is piffle their mission away in petty dreams of governance and dictatorship.

Get rid of them.

[sinanju]

Get crucial! They first have to spend a few more weeks carrying out "assesments" and "coordinating." Besides they're working hell-for-leather on their real priority: gaining control of as much of the swag as possible.

I heard Kofi complain today of too many 'goods' coming in...
Kofi says send cash...that is what these countries really need...

The UN never met a disaster or a victim it couldn't exploit

Dark Roast Kofi needs to shut his yap and stop blaming the U.S. for his own ineffectiveness and corruption.

He's gotta make up for all those $$$ lost when they blood for oil vouchers scam broke.

[cake_crumb]

Make that "He's gotta make up for all those $$$ lost when THE blood for oil vouchers scam broke."

[zygoat]

Damn, that was well said!

""If we wait for the UN to tell us what to do, we wouldn't do anything," said Abdul Hadi bin e Rashid."

And if they wait for the UN to dispense the cash aid, they won't GET anything!

Kofi's 'administration costs', you know...

[Quilla]

Some stratergist may have disbanded the core group originally established to handle aid coordination to accentuate the ineffectiveness of the UN.

[cake_crumb]

Maybe.

[conservativeharleyguy]

The UN is like a blister. They just show up and cause pain after all of the work is done.

Let the world see how worthless they are, and then send 'em home.

[arthurus]

The UN people are much too busy identifying pots of money at which to direct their vacuum cleaners. They will get around to distributing a few meals to deserving bureaucrats and a lot of displaced females to each other once the money is all sucked up.

[Howlin]

This is going to get REAL ugly. Fast.

Cash is so much easier to distribute to deserving Swiss banks.

[steenkeenbadges]

Headline: "U.N. failing...." Period.

bttt

[unixfox]

I'm SHOCKED!! Totally SHOCKED!!

Friggin RAT BASTARDS!!

How long are WE going to put up with this crap?

[KarlInOhio]

Give them a break. They still have to organize their interim living quarters at 5-star hotels and set up 24 hour a day catering.
