#1 Now watch. They're not voting for, they're voting four resolutions. Yep, we need three more until the resolutions get lifted. This is the axis of weasals, after all.

#2 I'm really surprised they didn't hold out for some sort of concession that the UN take more control in setting up the Iraqi interim government. However, I won't complain!

#3 Their brains are clear enough to see the chaos that comes with real nation building. With far fewer resources and a even more ineffective bureaucracy, someone is waking up at the UN that they really don't want the mission. Better to leave it in the American hands which at least provides them sport in criticizing the only nation on the planet capable of pulling it off.

#4 The UN can't even make any progress on an African or any other nation they decide to dabble in. They do not want the responsibility, so like Don said, the AoW bought a ticket so they can grandstand. Only the US would take on the responsibility and the heat of un-f--king this twisted country called Iraq. On another note, there NEEDS to be a FULL ACCOUNTING of the Oil for ~~Palaces~~ Food Program. There is too much money out there to let go. In this case Kofi and Chiraq have some explaining to do and the should NOT be let off the hook. We need to stick to this one like flies on s--t.

#5 If I had known about the clandestine nature of U.N.accounting I would have been screaming bloody murder.Question:Do the members(Governments)of the U.N.have complete access to the U.N.s books?
If no,then why the hell not?

I had a set-too with a V.A.hospital middle level beaurocrat,dumb ass had the temerity to tell me a had no right to access my medical records.That the records belong to the V.A. and noone else.10 minutes later I was hand carrying my records to the vascular surgeon.
