Howlin, we're talking about the UN here, so there's no reason to start using logic. ;-)
Keep it up - trying to use logic to figure out the UN - and you will end up in the loonie bin.
LOL. I agree. It's confusing enough without throwing logic and the UN together in the same sentence.
Now explain who is who and what is what to me again.
Okay . . . now Saudi Arabia says we can't use any of their territory for the war yet we're unloading soldiers by the thousands on their dirt and these same soldiers who aren't supposed to be there, and probably aren't in Arab-speak, are getting ready to kick ass and take names and our airplanes fly from Prince Sultan bin bani aswra who-knows-what-potentate's-name-fits-here Airport whenever we want. Right?
The Kuwaitis said they won't support us . . . yet we're, nah nix that one -- too confusing. I'll come back to it.
Okay, the Turks said no, then okay, then hold on, then no again. Right? But their parliament might vote again. Are they voting for yes or no? And which one do we want? What's the question they're voting on anyway?
Okay, Egypt says they're staying neutral but then they organize a gazillion screaming Arabs to protest against us but then they say for a bazillion dollars they'll kiss both our cheeks and blow in our ear and proclaim their enduring love for all things American. Right?
Okay, the French, nah, never mind. Pee-pee on the French.
Ditto for Germany.
Okay, now the Russkies and the Chinese say they'll veto the resolution but they can kill Chechens and Tibetans without the UN's blessing. Right? But they're . . . how can they . . . does that make sense that . . . Ahhh, to hell with it.
Just answer me this. Are we still wearing the white hats?
If so, wake me up when all this crapola's over. I've got a headache.
