| Israel says UN can't be part of probe of deadly attack on post |
| 2006-07-28 |
| Israel's UN ambassador on Thursday ruled out major UN involvement in any potential international force in Lebanon, saying more professional and better-trained troops were needed for such a volatile situation. Dan Gillerman also said Israel would not allow the United Nations to join in an investigation of an Israeli air strike that demolished a post belonging to the current U.N. peacekeeping mission in Lebanon. Four UN observers were killed in the Tuesday strike. "Israel has never agreed to a joint investigation, and I don't think that if anything happened in this country, or in Britain or in Italy or in France, the government of that country would agree to a joint investigation," Gillerman said. |

| #8 The UN taking part in this probe would be like the Mafia taking part in a probe over organized crime. |

| #7 That bombing was probably the luckiest thing that could have happened for the Americans. Can you imagine if we'd and a UNeuch on every street corner in Fallujah? |

| #6 Canal Hotel bombing August 19, 2003, and the death of Sergio Vieira de Mello. Notice Kofi blamed no one directly. United Nations Secretary-General, commented that the bombing would not stop the organization's efforts to rebuild Iraq, and said: "Nothing can excuse this act of unprovoked and murderous violence against men and women who went to Iraq for one purpose only: to help the Iraqi people recover their independence and sovereignty, and to rebuild their country as fast as possible, under leaders of their own choosing." |

| #5 With Kofi coming out and calling the attack "deliberate" without any evidence, I'd say the UN has disqualified itself fairly conclusively. Of course, it poses a dilemma for the rest of the membership who also want to make sure Israel is to blame. |

| #4 This will not please Kofi, who is trying to cover his ass. |

| #3 "seems to be" ? The UN is responsible for letting Hizb'Allah build bunkers and amass weapons to wage war on Israel. |

| #2 They dont seem, they are. Remember that Peter Hansen, the head of the UNWRA, said, on CBC, in 2004: "I am sure that there are members of the Hamas among our employees, and I dont see any problem with it". Employing Hamas' terrorists, helping Hezbollah, same dirty job. |
