Who paid for these projects in the first place? I thought we were funding Iraq reconstruction. If KBR owes anyone money (and I'm skeptical of that if the U.N. says its true), then its the U.S. taxpayer.

"Where's the Mega-Chunky BARF Alert???"

Lovely! Gives a whole new meaning to, "Open wide for Chunky."

Yep, Ali, the UN would have been a better target.

Don't mind me, I'm in favor of the death penalty for jay walking and kids who paint graffiti. I also know how to solve the problem of child molestors who are released from prison: casteration.

I would let my tax money go to building a new UN headquarters for $208.5 million if it was permanently sited in Zimbabwe.

This kind of thinking comes about after years of doing recreational drugs.

Why give them this as an excuse?
They are simply corrupt...drugs or no drugs.

"The UN should be moved to a floating barge in the Caribbean."


Better yet, that huge Iceberg that recently broke off the antarctic. Put the UN there and let it slowly drift away, never to be heard from again.

U.S. reactions, such as Americans in the FR, to absurd United Nations' claims are muted. The U.N. issues its propaganda PR to influence, and to further justify, anti-American sentiments throughout the vast globbal. The U.N. keeps the fires of antiAmerican feelings burning which accounts in great part and aided by the Bolshevik factor, for the current extreme reactions/riots in South America during Bush's current visit. The United Nations tacticly employs its best defense to distract from its many abominations and failures which is to offend and accuse the U.S. At this point, both Condi Rice and John Bolton should strike back with strong rhetoric and reality checks.

Waiting for Kofi Annan to add another international law banning all images and references to Pigs and Swine to accommodate Muslim/Islamic sensitivity. A reminder: December 18th is United Nations' flag burning day. It's also "Hug your pet pig Day."

The U.N. should be relocated to Haiti or some similar location where the "Diplomats" will not be so distracted by the amenities provided at its current location!

Paris would be a great location. I'm sure we can find some very inexpensive property at the moment somewhere.

They can't figure out how badly Kofi Anan was tied up in oil for food after years of investigation, but they can sure target the US in record time, can't they?

This my friends is the definitive proof that we didn't plan 9-11 ourselves... it would have been the UN.

Yeah, and they could have directed the flights in with binoculars too. Talk about "soup to nuts."

Saw the premier of the movie "Broken Promises - The UN at 60" a couple of nights ago in Seattle. Movie was produced by Citizens United and was an excellent summary of the corruption, double dealing and incompetence on the UN in its 60 year history.

The showing was hosted by KVI - Seattle conservative station and runs 70 minutes. Very well produced and some stunningly horrific shots of the results of the UN's "even handed" approach to war and genocide.

See it if you can.

Unfortunately, I believe that they would be FAR TOO COMFORTABLE in Paris!!!

If I flush a toilet a million times, will it be sent to the u.n. as "consideration of payment" and from this American, be considered paid in full!
