"... The Obama administration and the U.S. government did not want the U.N. to be held accountable, because doing so might persuade other people elsewhere to hold U.S. peacekeeping missions accountableand because the U.S. foots about a quarter of the U.N. peacekeeping budget..."
It makes it sound as if our government didn't want anyone to know for fiscal purposes. Since when has this government ever given a single damn about money we have given away to anyone?
If anything, it was because they didn't want to soil the reputation of their favorite global bureaucracy, the UN. (Though it is hard to imagine how an organization so corrupt they condone child abuse by their "Peace Keepers" could have a reputation any less soiled to begin with.)
Or they didn't want people to stop donating because, since the Clintons take money from their Fndn, a sullied reputation would negatively affect the amount they're skimming off the top.
Or i could go read the article first so I'll know what y'all are talking about. ;-)
