"U.N. Credibility: The Ultimate Oxymoron"
Posted by Doc Farmer Wednesday, April 30, 2003
I keep hearing pundits and talking heads and "experts" on the news, saying how the U.S. must involve the United Nations in post-conflict Iraq.
Their reason? We need the U.N.'s credibility.
Excuse me? WHAT credibility?
The credibility that dragged the people of Iraq through 12 years of torture, rape, and murder, while U.N. members flapped their collective yap and did nothing? The credibility that had the chance to take down Saddam in 1991, but didn't because the Frogs said not to, thereby placing tens of thousands of Iraqis in the gunsights of the Ba'ath party after Bush 41 told them to rise up? The credibility that sent the IAEA into a nuclear facility without bleedin' Geiger counters? The credibility that sent Blix into Iraq for the largest game of 'blind man's bluff' in the history of the planet?
And lest you think that the U.N. has only recently "flubbed", cast your minds back to a place called Korea. The U.N. had the resources of the U.S. and a large number of other countries to defend South Korea. The war raged on, while Chinese and North Korean "diplomats" negotiated with the U.N. These old-style Saddams played the U.N, like a Stradivarius. These bozos tied up the U.N. over the shape of the negotiating table, for pity's sake. And finally, when the shooting ceased, the U.N. couldn't even bring itself to the point of victory. They agreed to a cease-fire.
The war never ended, folks.
The U.S. and Coalition forces could have easily won that war. Yes, it's true. And that's taking nothing away from the brave efforts of the forces who fought in Korea. They weren't allowed to win. The politicians and the globalists didn't want a victory. They wanted a stalemate. Win and Lose, Good and Evil, Black and White, these are all concepts they were trying to move away from.
Imagine, if you will, that the U.N. had existed prior to the beginning of World War II. A frightening concept, I'll grant you, but try. Assuming that the U.N. would even ALLOW the U.S., Britain, Poland, and others to defend themselves against Japanese and German aggression, do you think we'd have won the war? Do you think the U.N. would have permitted such blatant aggressive SELF DEFENSE by those nations who were attacked? And what about our friends, the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys? They would've been telling the world just how wonderful things were under Nazi occupation. The Vichy Government would have been the ones at the Security Council, blocking Roosevelt and Churchill. And back then, they would have succeeded.
And we'd all be speaking German now. Except the Jews, of course. There wouldn't be any of them left. There also wouldn't be any blacks or Arabs or Asians either, except in small pockets of controlled slave labor camps.
But there would be a U.N. It would contain one nation. And it would have one leader. Or should I say Fuhrer?
The U.N. has failed time after time, conflict after conflict. Can anybody name a REAL success they've had? I mean in conflict resolution, not feeding the hungry. And they normally can't get THAT right either, quite frankly. Private aid organizations normally do a FAR better job of getting assistance to those who truly need it. The U.N., however, does a pretty good job of getting assistance to the tyrants and despots.
Nowadays, the U.N. Security Council is looking at holding on to the sanctions created under the bad-old-days of Saddam Hussein. Why? Could it be that the U.N. actually made MONEY off of that deal? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the U.N. actually taking a cut of the sales of that oil? I believe it was 2%. And over the many years, 2% of all that oil can add up to a rather tidy little nest egg. Saddam sure found that out. So did the Frogs, the Krauts, the Sprouts, the Rooskies and our other so-called "allies", now proud members of the Axis of Weasels. And the U.N. knew that little of that "oil for food" money was actually going to food or medicine or other assistance to the Iraqi people. They knew it was going to weapons, and palaces. They knew it was going to government agencies of member nations. But they did nothing. Why? Because they were making money on the deal. And sadly, issues of right and wrong fly right out of the window when folks like that are managing a cash flow that large.
And this is what the experts call "credibility"?
The United Nations HAS no credibility. Neither does the Axis of Weasels or CNN, for that matter. The United Nations didn't want to "soil their hands" in the war. They have no business being involved in the peace.
The U.S. and the coalition President Bush built are FAR more credible than the U.N. Why? Because they got the job done. The job the U.N. refused to handle. The problem the U.N. itself helped to cause. The problem the U.N. was actually making a profit from.
It's time for America to realize that the U.N. is a failure. Heaven knows, we've got more than a half-century's worth of proof of that contention. America funds almost a quarter of the U.N. America hosts the U.N. America has taken the lion's share of responsibility in military actions on behalf of the U.N.
And the U.N. has spat in our face for it.
Enough.
It's time for the U.S. to kick the U.N. out, preferably with a steel-toed boot. It's time for the U.S. to withdraw from all U.N. activity, funding and treaties. And it's time for the U.S. to seriously re-think our relationships with those countries we have traditionally referred to as "allies." Some of them are anything BUT allies of the U.S. We have to have the guts to say this, and then do something about it.
Just one more thing. Congressman Ron Paul of Texas has a bill before the House of Representatives now about removing the United States from the United Nations. The bill is HR 1146 and is titled "The American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003". To read about it, go to: http://capwiz.com/liberty/issues/bills/?bill=1630511

Let's not forget also the MORE THAN TWO MILLION Christians butchered over the past ten years in Africa by Muslims!
Why not? Libya heads that commission.
I remember way back when - when the UN declared Zionism a form of racism. There was an editorial cartoon that came out that showed the UN declaring idiocy a form of intelligence.
