THE U.N.'S CONGO CRIMES
By Michelle Malkin · January 07, 2005 08:13 PM
Shame, shame, shame. This just in from UPI:
The U.N. watchdog office says peacekeeping troops have continued to abuse girls in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, sometimes paying two eggs for sex. U.N. peacekeeping officials say member states providing the soldiers must send sterner commanders and toughen punishment for perpetrators.
Voice of America's report adds the following: Speaking to reporters Friday, lead investigator Barbara Dixon said her team concluded that sexual exploitation by blue-helmeted U.N. troops is a serious and ongoing problem.

Not just evil but stupid. The rate of HIV infection in the Congo is very high.
It is hard to believe this 95 pound woman scares the hell out of Chris Matthews so much that he shouted her down to the point of lunancy last fall.
"...sexual exploitation by blue-helmeted U.N. troops..."
They're appearantly already suffering from some nasty kind of VD. You'd think they would have learned a moral lesson.
On a serious note, lack of morals aside (like *that's* a news flash), where the hell is the discipline with these bozos? If that's the kind of soldier you get from a secular, internationalist culture, then I thank God we've got W for a commander-in-chief.
Her work doesn't get enough exposure.
What on earth are U.N. "peacekeepers" fighting for? Honor -you can forget that. Country? Which country? God? They're mostly a bunch of loose cannons in a quasi-military case study in multiple personality disorder. No discipline, no loyalty, no pride.
And no good.
Oh, UN staffers get free condoms from their bosses.
"Her work doesn't get enough exposure."
Very true. I click on her website nearly every day now, I may make it my home page. I think she has a chat group there too.

The Security Council voted last year to send more blue helmets, with accompanying staffers and staff-hangers on to Congo because the first group wasn't achieving the objective - DUH.
The UN NEVER achieves it's objectives, because it's part of the problem. Even if their intentions are honorable when they send vote to send people into a particular country, the problems are never solved because the UN is PART of the problem of corruption, illegal weapons sales, the drug trade, slave trade...you name it, UN people have been caught doing it.
If you want to give her more exposure, call your local editor and ask him to pick up her syndicated column
What they are doing now, is merely keeping on a < sarcasm > "glorious" tradition of service in that particluar country.< /sarcasm > Never let us forget what the UN did in Katanga province in the 1960's, wher "brave soldiers" in UN blue helmets bombed schools and hospitals to force the breakaway Katangans to submit to Patrice Lmumba's Marxist government (so much for their much-vaunted "local determination" practices...)
