UN Vulture alert!

I find it galactically ironic that the UN is now claiming that the U.S. can't do anything in Iraq without Security Council approval because of resolutions that Iraq must abide by (the same resolutions that the UN turned a blind eye towards for years).

The UN could have laid claim to all of the power that the U.S. has invested in the freedom of the Iraqi people - a very valuable commodity that Bush, unselfishly, offered to GIVE the world body - but they said "no" (or, more precisely, "non").

Bottomline is that the UN, France, Germany and Russia can whine about not being involved - but they have only themseleves to blame.

Amen to that.

By the way, once we finish with the military aspect and Iraq is liberated, the sanctions will be done with.

The U.N. is free to enforce them if they can...

But they'd have to do business with the U.S. Navy first.

If I was an artist I would draw a nice Gulliver striding away in ths distance as tiny Lilliputians chased after him, indignant that he had broken their laws and their strings.

I see things differently. I think this was a UN operation all along. (Just like Viet Nam. Oh, you didn't know that?)

I think the whole French thing was staged. And you are right, they can't wait to get their hands on all the goodies. (And Cheney and friends can't wait for the rebuilding phase for their personal cash-in).

I think the whole French thing was staged.

Thinking something is nice.

Having some evidence about it makes it interesting.

Having proof shows it to be a fact.

You’re still at the “nice” stage.

Ohh yes staged like 1992-2000. That was a stage of ill repute. That president was just a show boat who did not have a value on life. How many women did he stage. How many of his supporters did he help. Did you know he was part of the Enron scandal.

Those that dont believe that the US is under a new higher moral standing is living in a nightmare. Hollywood and such are the only places that stages are built nowadays.

Dear UN:
Finally found a good reason to fight, huh?

When the 10 French and German Divisions errr... your 10 divisions are ready to go bleed in Iraq, let us know, OK?

Until then please go pound sand!
