There's no way in hell that the President is going to actually take this crap from these losers. They louder they whine, the less chance they have of being relevant to anyone in the US. Just because they say that they matter doesn't mean it is so.
We built Germany and Japan after WWII, and the UN didn't even exist then. I'd say we've got a better track record than the UN by far.

UN under-secretary general Shashi Tharoor said the Allies had no rights under international law to engage in any kind of reconstruction or creation of government without the express consent of the Security Council. This is irrelevant. There is no controlling legal authority. Ask Algore, he knows about these matters.

Hahahahahaha!
1) How do you spell Veto?
2) We're there, they aren't.
3) What are they going to threaten us with? Hans Blix?
4) What was the last resolution passed by the U.N. that actually had teeth?
5) LOL

They "drank out of a poisoned chalice" back when they failed to do their job with Iraq's initial 17 Security Council resolutions. They're useless. I'd bet that the 39 other nations who are with us on Iraq would recognize ANY government that we put in place.
All those various jobs that this jerk is alluding to are funded by whom? That's right. US.
I don't know who irritates me more, Koffi and his butt buddies or Clinton and their disciples of sleaze.

the one and only word that the US ambassador or Sec. Colin Powell should use from this point forward shoulb be VETO.
A good example would be:
Reporter's question "Mr. Sec., the french is propo..."
Powell interupts and answers "The US reserves the right to VETO any action taken by the UN Security Council, so let them eat cake."

"Let's not forget that Iraq is already subject to a number of Security Council resolutions that remain valid."
After reading this laugh line I have to agree.

"The UN is desperately arguing that they're relevant, dammit, relevant!"
It took the UN 7 weeks to debate, consider, compromise, and finally pass a single resolution (1441) on Iraq.
But now that the UN has finally figured out that it has left itself out of the most pressing international issue of the moment, it takes scant seconds for the UN to issue statement after statement on Iraq.
Well, let them talk. It's what they seem to do best.
Also, I don't remember the UN being very concerned about whatever government the U.S. set up in postwar Afghanistan last year, or even in postwar Germany circa 1946.
But now all of a sudden, they sure seem interested in having a hand in shaping postwar Iraq, and it isn't even "postwar" yet...

The U.N. cant do sqwat without US financial support.
The UN (whats left of it) does not even have their own clubhouse so they must take up space on prime real estate in New York.
Lets kick them out - soon.

HEY KOFI, don't you have bigger things to worry about, like the 1000's getting massacred in the Congo?
Oh that's right, the UN is a joke.

United Nations chiefs have warned America and Britain today
It's just so much intestinal gas from the decomposing corpse of the UN.

Hey Kofi---Bottom line: You better start worrying about the US "Street"! Lots of US Americans in the "street" are fed up with UN high falootin high living and high lies of the United Nitwits.
If the UN wants to stay solvent they can play a distribution role just like the victorious President said they could. That's about it.
