#1 Why didn't this jackass lecture the Iraqi forces before or during the war? Seems a little bias to me...

#2 Slightly OT, but does anyone know if the UN actually owns that building in NY, or do they just lease it? Any way they could get evicted? I dunno.....claim they had some loud party that bothered the neighbors one too many times?

#4 Kofi's just gotta' piss and moan about something, anything the US does in order to keep himself and his worthless pile of crap organization front-and-center in the headlines.

UN out of the US! Today! Yesterday if it were possible! It's filled with anti-American dictators and thugs and serves no worthwhile purpose other than to attempt to block US power in the world.

Out! Out foul stench!

#5 Acrually, it's good the Kofi brought up the Hague Treaties. All of the Euros (and we) are signatories. What's of interest here is that the 1907 Convention on Land Warfare gives the "occupying power) the right and obligation to manage the natural resources of the occupied territory for the benefit of its peoples. So ... if the UN don't wanna lift the sanctions on Iraq, we'll sell the oil on the open market pursuant to Hague.

#6 Addressing the annual session of the U.N. Commission on Human Rights in Geneva, Annan said that with the war over, he hoped a "new era of human rights in Iraq will now begin."

It won't be any thanks to the U.N., that's for sure.

#7 Baba Yaga, I believe they own the buildings, a gift from the Rockefellers who were very idealistic at the time.

#8 "Addressing the annual session of the U.N. Commission on Human Right"

This would be the same outfit chaired by Libia.
More U.N.#hit.

Seems to me if the government can size my home for highway/airport construction the U.N. shouldn't be a problem.
