More U.N. perversion in East Timor

AUSTRALIAN soldiers drew arms to protect themselves from Jordanian peacekeepers after a Digger blew the whistle on other Jordanian soldiers' sexual abuse of East Timorese boys.

Corporal Andrew Wratten had to be evacuated and Australian commandos sent to protect Diggers in Oecussi, an East Timorese province in Indonesian West Timor, after he told the UN of the pedophilia that occurred in May 2001.

The Australians drew their Steyr assault rifles after being confronted by Jordanians armed with M-16s, in an escalation of verbal threats triggered by the later betrayal of Corporal Wratten by a Jordanian officer in the Dili headquarters of the UN Transitional Administration in East Timor.

Corporal Wratten, who was working at a fuel dump in the enclave, was told by a group of children that Jordanian soldiers had offered food and money in exchange for oral sex and intercourse.

The allegations involved East Timorese minors, all boys, the youngest of them just 12 years old.

Anyone seen this on the evening news? Yeah, sure. I imagine the networks cringe at the idea of the American people actually learning the extent of the corruption of the U.N.

I truly do not understand why my leftist friends worship at the alter of the United Nations.

I made a reference to one regarding Kofi's son and the oil for food scandal. Guy practically went postal on me. I am somehow the extremist for believing we should put a stop to this disgusting behavior.

On the other hand, these same people [US libs] claim we had no business stopping genocide in Iraq. Wood chippers and all. Liberals should be made to go and see this stuff in person...up close: "The unacceptable sexual conduct alleged was that a minor had sperm around his mouth,"

How in God's name can any person of conscience ignore this in the name of socialism?

Why do you have "liberal friends"?

I have liberal acquaintances, at work, but I refuse to discuss anything not work related. Nor will I listen to their claptrap. Liberals do not share my values and I learn nothing positive from them.

I saw a sarcastic sign: "The true measure of a man's intelligence is based on how much he agrees with me." So I avoid stupid liberals. (sarcasm)

"I am somehow the extremist for believing we should put a stop to this disgusting behavior."

1. It's okay, you are among "FRiends" here, you will be alright.
2. Do not cast your pearls before swine, ie; don't waste your breath talking to the commies-you will get ulcers.

Hushed rape of Timor

IT caused outrage among East Timorese and Australian troops sent to protect them, raised tensions among UN peacekeepers to a deadly new level and caused senior UN staff to resign in disgust.

The deployment of Jordanian peacekeepers to East Timor was probably one of the most contentious UN decisions to follow the bloody independence ballot. It was eclipsed only by the cover-up and inaction that followed when the world body learned of their involvement in a series of horrific sex crimes involving children living in the war-battered Oecussi enclave.

Children were not the only victims - in early 2001, two Jordanians were evacuated home with injured penises after attempting sexual intercourse with goats.

The UN mission in East Timor led by Sergio Vieira de Mello (who was later killed in Baghdad) did its best to keep the matter hushed up. The UN military command at the time was only too happy to oblige.

Today the cry for justice from the child victims continues to go unheard.
