#5 FG - Not sure, but thought that most were from Belgium. They sent back a French soldier and two Tunisian ones last month without saying why.
But it's OK....Kofi's on the case! He'll get to the bottom of this!

#7 There's a list here. One column for MilObs (observers) and one for contingent (troops). What a clusterf**k.

#8 Saw elsewhere that this is from report by UN back in MAY! There was already one conviction at time. Wonder why MSM didn't want to report bad news about Dem's favorite organization during the campaign?

#9 I've got some friends who were part of the Lost Boys of Sudan and spent many years in refugee camps in different parts of Africa. Until the U.S. agreed to take the Lost Boys (and just them, not the other refugees), the only way out of the camp was to buy your way into a Western country. It cost something like a couple thousand dollars to get to Australia, and they only wanted to take families, not unattached males. Where are refugees going to come up with that kind of money? Hence, the illicit economy heats up. Of course, the corruption and utter lack of accountablility of many of those under the U.N. banner also contribute mightily to the problem.
