Like the song says, you don't pull on Superman's cape...and you don't mess around with UN.
On a 1-10 scale, with Kofi being a 10, how big a player is Galloway in the UN-OFF scandal?
I saw the same interview on CNN. Levin claimed that it was the UN that was the victim of oil for food!
He said the UN was being victimized by people using their humanitarian program for personal wealth. Of course, the CNN anchor never mentioned the involvement of Kofi Annan's son in the scandal.
I said, oh, that's how the left is going to spin it.
I can sort of understand why Democrats want to keep the UN. I am Canadian but have a better grasp of the American Republic than Democrats seem to have. Isn't the American Republic suppose to be looking after the interest of Americans? And wasn't the Republic set up to get away from foreign powers from dictating American interests. Some international organization is not suppose to tell America when to take military action. Somehow Democrats think it should.
But what I don't get is why George Bush tolerates the UN. Couldn't Republican Congress and Bush abolish the UN with a stroke of the pen? The UN is a rallying point for all those that hate the United States - not just America as it is - but what the American constitution is all about.
There is no law requiring France, or Germany, or Canada to help the US in its war in Iraq. The fact they bowed out is their prerogative. But not only did they not join, they also attempted to keep the United States from taking unilateral action. And it turns out that it was not based on popular opinion, but what Saddam was able to give them.
I kept thinking Coleman wasn't even in the Senate when all this happened so why was he going after Coleman ?
