Bush says Muslim welcome to head UN (AFP)

11 July 2006

WASHINGTON - US President George W. Bush said he did not oppose the idea of a Muslim being the next UN Secretary General as long as they were willing to “blow the whistle” on human rights abuses.

At the same time, he told a small group of reporters on Monday, two days before leaving for Germany and a group summit in Russia, ”we’re really looking in the Far East right now” to find a successor to UN chief Kofi Annan.

But asked whether he would oppose a Muslim in principle, Bush replied; “Not at all, would not be against a Muslim.”

“The criterion I’m for is somebody who wants to spread liberty and enhance the peace, do difficult things like confront tyranny, worry about the human condition, blow the whistle on human rights violations,” he said.

“We will work closely with friends and allies to come up with the best candidate, but we won’t be committing publicly, like you’re trying to get me to do,” he said.

It's hunky dory for a Mooslim to head the U.N. - as long as
the U.S. is out of it.

Much ado about less than nothing, even in the context of this small article, in which he points out they're looking elsewhere. Basically this is a "Yeah, sure, whatever" response.

Think about this from the crazed mind of an Ahmadinejad... as if he were to submit a resume... "True Liberty and Peace only come from submission to Islam. Tyranny comes from the Invaders in Muslim lands who oppress, kill and rape Islamic people. The human condition is made worse for the poor Palestinians by the evil Zionist regime, and no Muslim can have human rights as long as Infidels are in the land of Allah."

So... yeah... nothing wrong with a Muslim heading the UN.

>>>US President George W. Bush said he did not oppose the idea of a Muslim being the next UN Secretary General as long as they were willing to “blow the whistle” on human rights abuses.<<<

Neville Chamberlain would be jealous of Bush's appeasement of the satanic cult called Islam.

"

--Omar Ahmed, Chairman of the Board of CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations), San Ramon Valley Herald, July 1998


Qur’an 8:12 “I shall terrorize the infidels.
So wound their bodies and incapacitate them
because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.”

Qur’an 8:57 “If you gain mastery over them in battle,
inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them,
so that they would learn a lesson and be warned.”

ok, nobody's going to get this, because they'd rather demonstrate how much smarter than the president they are.

but nobody got why Israel conceded land to PA, either.

But it was a brilliant strategy.

Sometimes you have to force the hand of your enemy.

I hope someone from Japan is the next Sec Gen. Japan is second only to the US in funding the UN, and does not even have a seat at the Security Council, pathetic. Turtle Bay love US and Japanese money, but that's where the affection stops.
