Those peacekeeping operations were the cause of heated disagreements over dues, including debates on whether the United States had accumulated sufficient back dues to be voted out of the U.N. General Assembly.

This would have been a bad thing???

Get his? Are you kidding? The spin on this is going to be that Kilntoon did it because those right-wing loonies in Congress were determined to isolate us. The headline reads like Klintoon did something wrong, but the body of the article reads like he found a backdoor way around Congress and put us in the black with the UN. Given the superior performance of the military in Afghanistan, the Legacy Project will crow how he cleverly fixed the UN issue while still leaving the military in great shape.

Couldn't these in-kind peacekeeping contributions be overlooked, such that the General Assembly would not only vote us out of the G.A., but out of the entire U.N.?

Report: Clinton Diverted Billions From
Pentagon to UN Peacekeeping

Excerpt:

(CNSNews.com) - A draft report by the General Accounting Office reveals that former President Clinton contributed over $24 billion for U.N. peacekeeping missions around the world between 1995 and 2001, money that wasn't officially credited to the U.S. account by the United Nations.

The report shows that America's "debt" to the United Nations was more than compensated for by extra peacekeeping assistance that the world organization never gave the United States credit for, U.N. critics said.

"This new GAO report makes it absolutely clear that the U.S. debt to the U.N. was a complete fraud," said Cliff Kincaid, a journalist and president of America's Survival, who released a copy of the draft report.

"And remember that this report only covers the fiscal years 1996 - 2001," Kincaid added. "If the complete years of the Clinton administration were taken into account, the figure could rise by several more billions."

The Clinton era saw an explosion in the number of U.N-sponsored peacekeeping missions carried out by U.S. forces that were not necessarily supported by Congress.

Those peacekeeping operations were the cause of heated disagreements over dues, including debates on whether the United States had accumulated sufficient back dues to be voted out of the U.N. General Assembly.

Between fiscal years 1996 and 2001, the United States directly contributed an estimated $3.45 billion to support U.N. peacekeeping, the report states.

During the same period, however, U.S. indirect contributions to U.N. peacekeeping amounted to $24.2 billion.

Clinton is like a bad case of herpes - hell never go away until the host is dead and, until then, there will be regular eruptions of ugly political pustules. This host is, of course, the carcinogenic organism known as the liberal elite.

Clinton didn't do this by himself. Toon was out of office when congress voted to pay the "back dues". I'm assuming someone from congress asked the GAO to do this report. Let's see what the congress and Bush do with it.

I have to wonder at the gullibility of many folks. How do they think those U.N. "peacekeeping missions" got done? Do they actually think it was done for free? How do they think the troops got sent and where do they think those billions came from? Thin air? Uh-oh, wait a second...
And guess what else! We're still financially supporting U.N. "peacekeeping missions", even under our current administration.
