#1 Ever heard the expression "Mind own business."?

#3 Leaving them sit there as targets is dishonorable...

Doc, you do remember who we're talking about here, right?

#4 If the UN is going to send armed troops, who should they send? America would not be acceptable of course, plus we're kind of busy in Afghanistan right now. (Although we would be the best prepared, best armed and ready). None of the NATO countries can go, either. How about Saudi Arabia or one of the other Muslim countries? Oh yeah - right. It is immoral to kill another Muslim (ignoring the fact that Assad is killing Muslims by the dozen). The Russians and Chinese aren't interested, and seem to think that Assad is just ducky as a leader.

So who will bell the cat?

#5 I'd volunteer Venezuela and Cuba, but they would likely show up armed with sprockets and notepads.

#6 "The United Nations is increasingly worried about the unarmed observers it has sent into Syria to monitor the situation in the country."

You sent unarmed people to a war zone?

You're IDIOTS. But we knew that....

Howzabout just butting out? You're not helping with your hectoring and strongly worded memos.


"increasingly bitter Syrians who cannot understand why [the UN] has not halted the bloodshed"

Then they're idiots, too.

The only thing you can depend on the Useless Nitwits to do is screw over you while enriching themselves. >:-(

#7 Its statements like that which makes me give thanks that my life does not depend upon coffee annon brokering a deal.

And where is moon? Golfing with the champ?

Personally, I think the monitors are there to get killed, to give some sort of cover for an operation...a call to arms nobody will answer. So agree with Steve. Still, its more than they did with Myanmar. It really is a trading tent and band camp.
