#3 Why Nouakchott? Hell or Oblivion would be more appropriate: more space.

#6 I don't have the link, but Donald Trump did some congressional testimony a little while back that was absolutely hilarious. He had a a meeting with Kofi and tried to tell Kofi how to do a rehab in New York. While the UN was budgeting $3 billion, the Donald said it should only take $300 million, or $600 tops. He then told Kofi not to have a temp space but do the rehab in place, and told him that on any temp move, the UN would be taken to the cleaners.

The Donald later had a conversation with the UN official in charge of the whole rehab operation. Trump came away thinking -- and saying -- that said official was a blithering idiot.

I have the testimony as an mp3 file. Hilarious. E-mail me if you want it.

#7 Trump was the one who didn't "get it".

The very idea was to only spend $300 Million in the first place and *steal* the other $2.7 Billion.

Unless they get astounding bribes their attitude is "why should we do anything?"

The funny part is I'm not kidding or exaggerating.
