NEW YORK — The United Nations, under pressure from the Bush administration, has decided to move a stash of submachine guns out of the organization's New York City headquarters. The MP5s, made by Heckler and Koch of Germany, are to be moved to U.N. peacekeeping operations overseas, State Department sources said. The United Nations purchased the restricted weapons for the personal protection of Secretary-General Kofi Annan in his travels around the New York metropolitan area.

So let's see, they had what? I'm guessing it was about three guns. Guns that shoot magic bullets that travel thousands of miles, killing millions of chilrun as they go.

I see they get real "assult weapons" and they want our "small arms" F@#$ the UNnessecary!!!

It's the Washington Post that must be excerpted, not the Washington Times.

Machineguns for the sputum-licking terrorist supporters.

Now if an ordinary American citizen had these in violation of the law the ATF would be more than happy to raid his home and burn it to the ground "For the Children" who would become charred corpses in the house. Yet these scum are allowed to flagrantly violate the law for years and get away with moving them offshore until a Democrat comes into office.

I read about this sometime ago and wondered what happened, all I have to say is

(best Nelson imitation) HA-HAAAAAA!

"Guns for me, but not for thee."

I'm thinking of the old black exploitation films starring Pam Grier as Coffey. A UN motorcade could whip out machine guns at a NY intersection, spray the crowd with lead and shout, "Nobody better mess wi' Kofi!"

Please, Ladies and Gentlemen. Calm yourselves. Don't you know that ALL kings need bodyguards? What, with the rabble that infest America, it is a miracle that the UN doesn't employ a secret police force too.

Well, of course they did have the Intelligence leaks and the suspension of the American Constitution thing going with the Clinton's, but we really can't call that a permanent thing...yet.

I suppose the MP5's all had twisted barrels, tied in a knot, like the statue on the steps of the UN which depicts the horror and eventual destruction of small arms worldwide?

The American poulace should just take over the UN, weld it's doors shut, and open our wallets to send them to new digs in a foreign country of their choosin.

If Bush gives them that $1.2 billion loan, I'll Write-in Donna Brazille in 2004. Screw it, there ain't much difference.

For the life of me, I can not understand why the UN or Coffee Cakes needs Automatic weapons.

I thought everyone loved the UN?

[Squantos]

I keep having a dream where "someone" uses a piece 125 grain per foot flex linear shape charge to cut off this friggin knot...............aka the "next" shot heard around the world !

Stay Safe !

Molon Labe!

I'd like to see someone hitch a cable to this thing from a bigass all-American trailer hitch on a big-ass pickup truck and haul the eyesore away.
