Mary sez it's all Israel's fault. Damn those Americans!
2002-08-01
In an interview Wednesday, July 31, with the Egyptian TV morning show ‘Good Morning Egypt,’ U.N. human rights commissioner Mary Robinson said that the Israeli occupation is the cause of all problems in the Middle East. Meanwhile, the human rights commissioner told the British daily newspaper, the Guardian, she was prevented from continuing in the job because of pressure from the United States, which she has accused of neglecting human rights during the war against terrorism. "I am not somebody just to walk away," Robinson said. "If I had been hard-pressed, I would have stayed, [but] there seems to have been strong resistance from just one country," she added.
G'bye, Mary. Go away. Shut up.

#3  I guess you could consider nail marks in the concrete all the way there "skeptical"...

#2  The scary thing, of course, is where she'll end up next. Some cushy ministerial job in the EU Foreign Office no doubt. Just like a lot of old Laborites ended up in the EU Economics and Accounting Ministries, carefully guarding the chickens, Mary looks to be the next fox given a job in Brussels. Same job, different office for her.

If there's a more anti-American European government official than Ms. Robinson, I'd like that person identified and carefully marked.

She’s right. Were it not for them pesky Israelis occupying Israel, life in the Middle East would be a dream.
