Time to show your hand, gentlemen. We'll be keeping score.

Chafets analysis that it's the 'security council vs. US' as a means to counter this planet's only superpower sounds right on. It explains a lot.

[LibKill]

The UN is as useless as teats on a boar hog.

It's way past time to put it out of our misery.

[oceanview]

Yes, the author of this "gets it". This is exactly right.

[RightWhale]

Why does the UN have a Security Council at all? Is this one of those "feel good" ideas that was implemented but turns out to be ineffective?

[deport]

It will be interesting to see what things look like at the end of President Bush's first term

security council

[McGavin999]

Yep, looks like the "dumb cowboy" has outsmarted the opposition once again.

He just keeps doing it and they just keep falling for it.

[Defender2]

Well if the U.N. continues to support bloody dictators, then this will be a good thing.

One more time: where is the 167-173 Blix memo that has been declassified and obtained by all the news services.

If the Blix report supported an anti-American conclusion it would be printed in full in this Sunday's New York Times, starting on page one.

We can only assume that the report, added to Iraq's defiant recent demands, is devistating to any hope for the success of inspections.

Thank G_d for our President! I am so tired of having such economic powerhouses as Nauru trying to control the US.

[Judith Anne]

Thanks for posting, really interesting analysis...

[thinktwice]

the real shootout is about to take place at the UN corral.

Don't forget Russia's objectives regarding NATO.

Something tells me a new alliance for freedom is ... coming.

[knak]

Shootout at the UN corral. I love it.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

I have a feeling the sophisticated governments of the Old World have been set up by a Texas cowboy.

I also came to this conclusion a few days ago although up until now, I have never expressed it. When all these socialist banana republics/countries get through blabbing and as they keep digging themselves deeper into a hole, GWB is going to pull the chair from under the U.N., and it’s going to collapse like a house of cards. GWB has given them the full rope. At least that is what I'm hoping.

The United States IS the U.N. in that we tax payers pay 25% of it's expenses. No United States, No U.N.

Great post. Thank you.

[Blue Collar Christian]

Shoot-out at the U.N. Corral.

YEEHAW!

[amigatec]

Bush saw this coming, and he gave his answer Thursday: "When it comes to our security, if we need to act, we will act. And we really don't need United Nations approval to do so."

This line says it all!!

This may be the quote of the week.

[Malsua]

I'm not sure who had said it(G. Gordon Liddy or Hannity Maybe), but someone stated that once puny nations were given equal status with western nations and have voting rights over those nations, it wouldn't take long until the tryanny of the majority starts voting itself all the wealth.

We absolutely cannot allow the majority of the world to control our actions. If we submit to them, then countries like Libya and Sudan and others can form a voting block and VOTE away our assets. We cannot allow this to happen and if the UN has to take a nose dive let it go. It will crash to the heap of failed socialists instutitions and take with it scores of dictators from Africa to Asia. Good Riddance.

Close the doors of the UN. Take our late dues to pay for out placement services for the UN's arrogant employees. The world will be a better place.

[TheDon]

Only now, when it is too late, do they understand....

[RepublicanArmy]

I have watched our President set traps for the democrats since he took office again & again, and they have taken the bait each & every time. I have watched them fall like dominos believeing they are smarter then the "dumb cowboy" who became the leader of the free world.

Now the UN has followed in the footsteps of the democrats and underestimated our President's resolve, they have underestimated his conviction, and they have underestimated his sense of duty to the country he loves so dear.

What Bush did thursday night was nothing short of brilliant. He stood there like a poker player with an unbeatable hand calling the other players bluffs. No we shall see who will fold!!!!!!!

[ErnBatavia]

Time to show your hand, gentlemen.

Unzip and lay 'em on the bar, boys...it's measurement time.
