[E. Pluribus Unum]

Let me be the first to issue a "QUAGMIRE" alert on imposing our imperialistic will upon the Darfur Islamic terrorists .

[DakotaRed]

Hey Kofi, just pass another resolution. That will fix everything.

Yeah, uh huh, sure.

[Daralundy]

Send them a strongly worded note?

[Howlin]

LOL!

[Howlin]

Now he speaks up?

[Eagle of Liberty]

Trying to tidy up before leaving the job, eh?

[discipler]

blah, blah, blah, little blue helmets, blah, blah, blah, do nothing, blah, blah, blah, feel good, blah, blah, blah, blah, sounding righteous, blah, blah, blah.

Sudan's representative at the Council session, Farah Mustafa, accused Western media of distorting the picture. "It has been repeating lies, day after day," he said.

No way!

[Redleg Duke]

Yeah, right, act to blame it all on the USA and UK and Israel.

This reminds me of a shop I worked in the day it was sold.

Management took photos of it the way it really was and labeled them "Before". Next they made us sweep the floors and stack clean new (and empty) boxes in our stock areas and photographed them and labeled them "After".

Then they took the before and after photos and proudly displayed them in the lobby.

[popdonnelly]

'Bout time. However, no one in the U.N. membership has offerred to do anything about the situation in Darfur. Will it be left up to the U.S.?

[darkwing104]

Kofi must be getting some money from this somehow.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Now he speaks up?

That's what I'm sayin'! What a joke.

[KarlInOhio]

The UN has to do something in Darfur? Like providing human shields against anyone doing anything real? (see the Hezz-bullies hiding behind UN bunkers in Lebanon).

[Lijahsbubbe]

In other news, Ray Nagin demands inspections on all levees in New Orleans.

[Ron2]

What are they going to do, volunteer our military? We need to stay out of this one, let the rest of the world do their part for a change.

[Wuli]

Dopi Kofi couldn't wait a second to single out the US for personal retribution in his comments yesterday, so, in speaking about Darfur today, did have any special comments for China and Russia, who have been preventing stronger Security Council action on Darfur??? No???

Sorry, my mistake, I forgot that the portfolio of the United Nations General Secretary only requires that he periodically attack the United States, not actual thugs and dictators!

[discipler]

Hey Coffee, How about we pass several more resolutions and adopt a wait and see mentality. Oh wait, that doesn't work. How about this. Why don't you shut your unrighteous, immmoral, and evil spewing mouth.
