"[S]ome of the Iraqi guards at the Canal Hotel, where the UN headquarters were located, had been hired under the toppled regime of Saddam Hussein and had links with the fallen dictator's intelligence services." What a tragic lack of judgment.

I'm shocked. Actually only those who know of the UN's predilection for dictators and terrorists saw this coming. The UN is still oblivious to the truth and as if to punctuate the irony, one of the Middle East's leading terrorist states, Syria, delivered the UNs statement against terrorism! Go figure.

And they're still employing them. They are afraid if they fire them, they'll come back and attack. Sheesh. Now there's some pretty good security.

One UN envoy explained that they still won't step up security. "That's just not the way they operate." Talk about dense.

People just turn dumb as a stump when they go to work for the U.N.

I doubt if that information was difficult to acquire. The terrorist maggots went to the easiest source. A traitor guard. Lacking that opportunity, I think they would have been able to find out what they needed to know by other means. This was a UN building, not a military installation. Those maggots are good at killing unarmed humans, and certainly don't need much "intelligence" to get the job done.

The more difficult job is killing the maggots themselves, especially wiping them out in their nests before they come out into the light of day to infect us all with their poisons. Israel has shown us in recent days some effective methods of maggot eradication. I only hope that the CIA is out there cleansing the planet as much as possible, doing what it can to rid earth of this infestation of these terrible insects.

A UN security guard. And the left want us to bring the UN on board. I don't think so.

There is (perhaps) an interesting postscript: The attack may have been planned well in advance.

A few nights ago, NBC News ran a brief "sob story" about this "brave young woman" who was lost in the blast.

Let's see: She was of Palestinian origin.She left a sick bed (serious throat infection) against medical advice to follow deMello to Iraq.She talked often of death and dying, and, before she left,(the voice-over said,oozing sympathy),she gave all her possessions away.

Ummmmm...Haven't we heard this before ? I wonder if she made a videotape......

The television did not say if the security guard had been arrested.
How could they be arresting these poor people? No doubt Kofi Anan is busily composing a letter blaming the US for pressuring them and making them resort to desperate actions... /s

Vieira de Mello, was trageted because he handed the fascist ilsalmists a peaceful defeat in east timor.

It was pay back time.

I suspected this because the United States made the u.n. look impotent and they had to do something to blame us.They were offered protection and turned it down and that looked funny to me.
