#7  I'm truly surprised.... I didn't see a "BUT" in the statements.

#6  Rex, sarcasm aside, I'm not a leftie, so I'm NOT shocked, yes, shocked over Kofi's statement.

#5  If you are annoyed by the too little too late pseudo outrage expressed by Old Europe and Arab representatives, you will be shocked, yes shocked, by the equivocation of the UN Secty General regarding decapitation of a civilian and humiliation of unlawful combatants. However, because Kofi was busy shredding oil for food documents, his spokesman issued the following statement on Kofi's behalf:
''The Secretary-General condemned all killings of innocent civilians in Iraq, "as he condemns all abuse of all prisoners and other violations of international humanitarian law," the spokesman said. "

#4  The Jordanian and UAE condemnation of Berg's butchering was probably sincere in that those are two staunch traditionmal monarchies under al-Qaeda threat, and those monarchs can see their own heads being held aloft by the Zakarwi.

#2  BA - I take Arabs' condemnation with an entire salt lick. Most of them were upset at the timing of the release of the video, not the murder itself.

#1  What? You mean CAIR, Saudi, Syria and all those other goons beat us to the mike? I can't believe the Islamofascists beat the "old Europe" (thanks, Rummy for that one) to the punch and condemned it before Germany/France could (although, I take the mideast's condemnation with a grain of salt).
