Trial balloons, wishful thinking by people in the government and various others, and intentional disinformation, all happening at once.

Au contraire, most Freepers support the UN...with the tax dollars that they can't seem to live without.

NABLUS, West Bank - Israeli troops killed two Islamic Jihad militants on Saturday, including the man the group described as the leader of its militant wing in the West Bank city of Nablus.

The group initially said in an announcement over mosque loudspeakers that the slain militant, Hani Awijan, 29, was the leader of its military wing in the West Bank. However, other members of the group later said Awijan headed gunmen in Nablus only.

Initial reports said Awijan was shot by Israeli undercover troops trying to arrest him while he played soccer with friends and relatives.

The army confirmed soldiers operated in Nablus and said a militant was killed in an exchange of gunfire.

Israel Radio said Awijan was responsible for a series of attacks on Israelis.

News of the arrest raid spread through Nablus, and large crowds gathered at the hospital. Militants burned tires in the streets and called for a general strike in the city. Shops were quickly closed."

Kofi Annan- Worst Public Official Ever
Posted By Uncle Jimbo

I once watched UN workers loot a warehouse full of relief supplies during our efforts to help people after a tropical cyclone that killed a quarter million people. They took all the valuable things, like batteries, and generators and sold them to a known black marketeer, who then resold them to the few live people in the area. This was almost four days into the effort and the first time a single UN functionary had made it to Bangladesh. Then they commandeered all the small planes and helicopters we had assembled to distribute the aid for use taking their clowns on aerial joyrides to assess the damage, something we had accomplished days before, prior to actually helping some people. Sadly this was not the only instance of UN malfeasance I saw. I hate the UN......period. I don't know if there has ever been an organization with loftier goals that has failed so badly that they are literally harmful wherever they go. I realize they have been responsible for immunizing quite a few children, but honestly when you look at the scope of their incompetence and the damage they have done in the name of good, they are a major net loss to the world.

UN and Hizbollah flags fly side by side in Lebanon

The most corrupt public official in recent history wanders around making the most outrageous and mindless statements and gets a pass from the vaunted watchdog media. Kofi Annan is a disgrace and his tenure at the UN has shown that it cannot possibly be looked at as a force for good. They support, legitimize and then provide cover for evil worldwide. Normally that would be a metaphor i.e. providing diplomatic cover, or covering up their own or a client state's atrocities. But in this case it carries the military meaning of being placed in front of bad guys in order to become a bullet sponge protecting them. This is exactly what the UN allowed their "peacekeepers" in Lebanon to become. Then once Hizbollah had invaded Israel and kidnapped several soldiers, Kofi left his troops there to provide cover for Hizbollah who co-located with them and attacked the Israeli population by launching missiles from right next to UN positions. It shouldn't have been news to anyone that UN and the terrorists were partners, they were perfectly blatant, and the UN had more or less assisted and covered up their role in a previous Hizbollah kidnapping and murder of Israelis.

hadn't heard about the Arab activist connection, but why am I not surprised? I sort of suspected it anyway....

I meant that in the history of civilization Oriental Despotism is the order of the day. From mesopotamia to Egypt whether Nebuchanezzer or Pharoah or King,,,not until the Greeks was there any semblance of a constructed plurality rule and this didn't last long. Then the Romans founded a Republic which also descended into Imperial rule. I don't think theres another attempt til England and then us. the French went from Monarchical Tyrany to Secular tyranny, bypassing pluralism altogether, jacobin mobs terrorized all who would dissent. the French still don't get it. Thank God that what happened in Europe in the middle late 1800s never happened here. The Left learned the exact opposite lessons as our founding fathers, from the same experience. the longer the GWOT goes on the more I believe that the solution is a massive culling of the herd. To hell with Muslims...their code is not compatible with our way of life. If its us or them and I believe it is that simple, then let us wipe them from the face of the earth before they take us down like the barbarians have done to every other pluralistic Republic in history. Death to Islam.
