#1 "African troops would have eaten the choir boys"

er, uhm, given the church scandals, perhaps you want to rephrase that.

#2 "The UN does not tolerate looting from anybody, and it is very tragic when we find our own personnel doing it."

Given that the UN looted it's own cafeteria in NY earlier this year, this statement lacks a certain... believability.

#3 LH? lol
is it any wonder the troops on the ground have learned to implement the ~~unspoken~~ mission statement of the higher ups?

#4 Uruguay is predominantly catholic. Sounds like those boys need a trip to the confession booth.

#5 I remember somebody saying the French did something right when they left and handed over the peacekeeping efforts to the Uruguayan troops.

I also remember saying that " Handing over a peacekeeping mission to the UN isn't a success. " Or something along those lines.

Case and point, the mysterious disappearence of the choir boys, who were being escorted to the UN base for 'Witness protection.'

It hasn't happened yet, but that's only a technicality.

#6 A fish rots from the head, right, Kofi? And if these were Paleo "freedom fighters", you'd never hear a word about it.
