#1 Anyone need any other evidence of how totally useless the U.N. is?

#2 Is this another damn crosspost from Scrappleface? It's gettting so you just can't tell anymore.

Is it possible that the secret purpose of the UN is merely to provide fodder for Scrappleface and IMAO?

#4 North Korea next joins our band,
And after that, Turkmenistan.
Will we admit it's a crock of shit
When Rwanda's invited to sit?
Who's next, who's next, who's next?

With a big raspberry to Tom Lehrer.

#5 Un-be-fuckin-leave-able this is. Someone needs to start putting a comprehensive list together of all the U.N bungling and incompetance during its history and start petitioning to get America and the U.K to pull out of the U.N,with the end of Americas fianancial support its finished.In a way i hope the whole U.N oil for food and money scam rips the U.N apart at its pathetic seams, and hoping it rips Kofi apart too. I have nothing but contempt for Kofi and his criminal buddies,if i ever see Kofi holidaying in my home town....

#7 If ever there was a direct repudiation of the UN's moral authority, this is it.

#8 Did anyone notice that al-Reuters said Sudan's crimes were "alleged"?

#9 Here's a little doozie regards the UNSCAM "investigation": FoxNews reported earlier today that Benon Sevan (OFF Prog Chief) has written a letter to one company in the OFF game instructing them not to release financial records to the Volker team and, since they were not allowed subpoena power by Kofi, that will be that - no records. So the active obstruction begins. I've been waiting / searching for a story link to post it, but nothing so far. *big surprise*

#10 Steve from Relto - al-reuters is an alleged news organization, so reports are alleged to be accurate as well.

#11 Let me be the first to request that post #11 to be removed.

#12 Looks like Pete went from a "half" to a "complete".

#13 Evert, I'll second that. Cleanup on Comment #11 please.

#17 Oh brother. This evokes the same sense of disgust as the prison stories. *flush*

#19 "Alleged ethnic cleansing."
These fucking monsters cannot be ignorant of the facts. Willfully covering for the verified, indisputably documented actions of the fascist regime in the Sudan makes the UN and the terrorist mouthpiece Al-Reuters complicit in genocide.

#20 Pete,
Fuck you and the goat you rode in on.

#21  I resonate with Shep's post (#5).
He's got a great idea, too. Can someone out there put together a list as he suggests? That would be terrific (and a lot of work--so an early "hats off" to whoever attempts it).

Halfbrain Pete's "comment" reminds me of something Zenster was advocating for in another post today. A little fuzzy thinking . . . A little warmongering . . . A little senseless world annihilation . . .

Halfbrain Pete: I can't remember if I've ever liked your posts before, but this one sure sucks. And--what's a "goddamn nigger?" Can you explain?

#22 Bottom line - no racism - no epithets.

Kofi is a damn crook.
If UN had balls he'd be out.
The UN has no balls. Kofi stays.
End of story.

#23 I removed the original #11 post from Half-Ass Pete. No place for that sort of thing on Rantburg. I'll pass on the recommendations to Fred.

#24 Um, what did Pete say?

#25 And what's worse, now we have post #11 being "the first to request that post #11 to be removed."
Am I confused, or is this some kind of Zen thing?
[LOL]
