A little inside look into attiudes towards the UN relief efforts.

UN is nowhere to be seen -- unless you count at meetings, in five-star hotels, and holding press conferences.

Kinda sums up their whole involvement doesn't it?

But the rest of the commmentary does a good job describing the American and Aussie efforts.

Hey give Kofi a break . He's been busy. Diplomacy: "Annan stopped a row between Elmo and his friends." (PBS)

I'm glad to see that the Dutch can still think, what with all the legal drugs over there. I am still very concerned with my brethren who stayed there though and hope they don't get totally run over by the heathen.

I'm liking it that Diplomad is getting exposure via FR. Wicked funny.

Can't wait for more insider reports to come out....like, what they dined on (extravagant) while others starve....stuff like that.

The UN is full of greedy, evil hypocrites. I want as many to know that as possible.

Thanks for posting this. It is encouraging to read that a "can do" attitude still counts for something.

Does this mean we can stop whipping ourselves for being stingy and for having re-elected a President who takes too long to speak publicly about a disaster?

ping. US out of the UN; UN out of the US.

"...the city's Embassies got a letter from the local UN representative requesting a meeting for Ms. Margareeta Wahlstrom..."

The UN only wants these meetings so they can find out what the non-UN effort is doing, then they'll turn around and take credit for it! The US/Aussie/Indian/Japanese group needs to issue it's own releases or tell the UNcredibles to pound sand. Let the UN mouthpieces twist in the wind.

Here is the link to the "previous post" mentioned in the article: UNsanity Update

I didn't find a FR thread on that article. It sounds like The Diplomad is one together dude and has a site worth bookmarking!

but--but --but --but the UN is the only one with the Moral strength to lead.

And the Greeks sent a heavy transport (I think it was a big 4 engine turbo prop) stocked with medical and food...saw it departing on Greek TV channel ERT a couple of days ago.

Very somber reporting

[SandRat]

Those who can, just DO it!

Those who can't, are UN pompASS Coordinators!

I still don't understand why the President disbanded the coalition and turned it's control over to the UN.....unless he felt he made his point.
