Report: Netanyahu to lead effort in thwarting Obama bid for UN chief

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remembers well just how US President Barack Obama brushed aside Israeli objections and went ahead with the P5+1 nuclear agreement with Iran.

Now, Netanyahu is reportedly planning some personal payback.

According to the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida, Netanyahu will make common cause with moderate Arab governments in order to sabotage Obama’s plan to succeed Ban Ki-moon when the South Korean diplomat ends his term as United Nations secretary-general on December 31 of this year.

Al-Jarida quoted sources as saying that Obama has already discussed the issue of running for secretary-general with Democrats, Republicans, and Jewish officials in the US.

The sources said that once Netanyahu got wind of Obama’s plans, the prime minister began to make efforts to submarine what he has referred to as “the Obama project.”

“Wasn’t eight years of having Obama in office enough?” Netanyahu is quoted in the Kuwaiti daily as telling associates. “Eight years during which he ignored Israel? And now he wants to be in a position that is liable to cause us hardships in the international arena.

My impression is that the Secretary-General of the U.N. cannot be a citizen of any of the Security Council’s five permanent members. Even if this impression is incorrect, the General Assembly elects the Secretary-General on recommendation of the Security Council and the nomination is therefore subject to veto.

I don’t see China or Russia allowing a U.S. national to be nominated, even one as “sympathetic” to their interests as Obama.

“I find it highly unlikely that Obama is plotting to be UN president. If he doesn’t like dealing with Congress then he’d hate working with the general assembly.”

Actually probably just the opposite. The membership representatives are made up of two types: Third world (and lower) gibme beggars and NWO pimps and pimpettes.

It’s time to boot the UN fags out of this country. Let some other country lug that rag bag bunch of pedophiles and homosexuals around for awhile. America needs a break from that old, obsolete cold war dinosaur.

Ostensibly, he cannot come from the 5 permanent Security Council members.

[Al-Jarida quoted sources as saying that Obama has already discussed the issue of running for secretary-general with Democrats, Republicans, and Jewish officials in the US.]

But, as we’ve seen, laws and rules have not applied to Obama much in the past.

If he takes this post, I would expect a “peace” deal that divides Israel for “peace and security” for 7 360-day years.

And, after 1,260 days.........

Guess we will see.

obama has discolored skin and a skeletal face, and gets thinner and thinner every day!!!!

If the horrible, mass-murdering “human rightsers”, islamists, socialists, and communists of the UN DARE to elect obama Secretary General, before 2017 is out they can watch him collapse into a small pile of dust right before their eyes!!!!

That would serve them all right!!!!

[SaveFerris]

I would love to disagree. Except I seriously doubt you are incorrect, to any significant degree.

(if those double-negatives make sense, that is).

Well, the UN should realize that President Obozo has a pen and a phone, and he’s not afraid to use them. /sarc

Can’t permanent member of the SC veto the vote?

[SaveFerris]

As have a few of us. There are many strange things about this guy. Shall we say - odd clues, perhaps.

Not charter, but tradition has kept the UN president being from one of the great powers. Not only the U.S. but China, Russia, France, and Great Britain.

Maybe that explains why power has diminished here.

Note the date. As an aside, I’ll leave it up to the reader to see what the Illinois Pick 3 number was for the evening of the same day back then. Go ahead, take a wild guess.
