[ARCADIA]

A senior U.N. official said on Tuesday the United Nations might have to delay paying salaries if the United States followed through on its threat to hold up the two-year $3.9 billion budget.

Yippee!!!!

[eureka!]

Stick to your guns Ambassador Bolton....

[strategofr]

All sounds good to me. The UN can take a hike for all I care. Why finance an organization that is trying to undermine you?

[livius]

As you say, the whole thing is about salaries.

Dump this bunch of useless sullen bureaucrats. Who needs them?

[MikefromOhio]

He told a news conference that 75 percent of the world body's costs were salaries and it would have to borrow from peacekeeping funds in a complex operation that would need General Assembly approval.

Until the Winter of 2004, the NHL had a similar structure. We have all seen what that did to the NHL now haven't we?

"But the U.N. controller, Warren Sach, told a news conference this proposal would would "create real problems in terms of operational capacity of the organization."

Create the problems, awready. I'd love to see Kofi frog-walked for shoplifting or driving off before paying
for his gasoline.

Now we see who has the NUTS!

[Lancey Howard]

Huh. Sounds like the U.N. scumbags better hurry up with the reforms.

[Buck W.]

Bring it on.

[appleharvey]

I say we pay them a small stipend,and send the U.N. on their way to headquarter in some country that shares their ideals for a democratic world. North Korea comes to mind.

Oh? And how is that bad?

[festus]

God I love Bolton. He gets to go to work every day and piss off everyone and his boss is happy. I want his job.

Let Them Eat Cake I say !!!

"UN official predicts disaster if US delays budget"

Sucks to be you then doesn't it.

[festus]

it would have to borrow from peacekeeping funds in a complex operation that would need General Assembly approval.

Oh like that would be hard to do.....

This, in turn, would delay monies due to nations contributing troops. Sach estimated a $25 million shortfall in the first quarter if the budget were delayed.

Huh ?! The peace keeping nations get paid to send their troops ? This undoubtedly means I'm paying France with my tax dollars for sending its soldiers to Africa to rape the women. Ugh!

Can we let Al Qaida back in the US as long as they promise to only pick on the UN ?

[McGavin999]

Well then, they'd best get cracking on those reforms.

[aShepard]

MOST EXCELLENT

[Lexington Green]

Sorry. We're busy fighting a war. Talk to us when we're done.

[taillightchaser]

Great, kick the bastards out of our country. Let them go to france or some third world country in africa. I'm tired of supporting these a--h---s.
The UN is the biggest money drain on earth!!
