#1 Annan asked, referring to the document that calls for Israel's destruction. "My sense is that they were voting for a peaceful and stable and well organised Palestine

And there in a nutshell is the reason why the UN is such a useless, toothless, waste of our tax dollars. They have no sense.

#2 Who the f*** cares what an unelected bureacrat thinks.

#3 Amen, phil-b. He's just staff.

Bolton's "suggestion" that the "UN Secretariat come down to the council every day at 10:00 sharp to brief the members on whatever the UN is working on that day" is dead on the money - in more ways than one.

Re-establishing who be da boss and who be da help is looong overdue. And this shit about Kofi running around holding press conferences - what for? He's no Head of State. He's zip -- a disgraced corrupt flunkie. The instant he's out (in December, if not sooner), if the successor doesn't grant him immunity, he should be toast. If he does get immunity, then the successor should be toast. Withholding funding is the way to make it so. Enough of this pointless clown, all of these scheming Tranzi thieves, already.

The UN is a dead rat on the kitchen floor.

#4 Hamas as clean government. Pegs the irony meter.

#5 Kofi expects the UN's UNRWA bailiwick to double in size in a few years.

#6 SR-71,

That's only because they haven't been in power like Ararat was for years receiving tons of Euro money to misdirect. Now is their turn. You can't be corrupt if you're not getting the means to be corrupt with. Once that little problem is solved, it will be business as usual, just different bosses.

#7 kofi is partly right

basically the Paleos had a choice between a corrupt bunch who recognized Israel but conspired to murder Israelis and an untested party which promises to murder Israelis but hasn't done much of it in the past year

there was no anti corruption peace candidate

on the other hand if someone had been running on a 'clean up the corruption and live peaceably with Israel' platform, they probably would have been murdered

#8 WOW! First, Bob wants white farmers back in Zimbobwe, then Harry Reid's tied up in the Abramoff "scandal", and now this? My YJCMTSU meter needs a rest, and I'm only on page 2 of RB today!

#9 Lol, BA - spot-on, bro. Everyday, day after day, no let-up, no respite, we are assualted by amazing examples of CogDis. When they are the norm, as is the case today, well - it tends to wear me down... which is probably the intended aim of the BS vendors, anyway.

I prefer Hunter / Killer Teams.
