The Latest UN Circus

"New York, here we come."


Hugo Chavez, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Moammar Ghaddafi. Once again, these thugs come marching into New York City and launch into their tirades-on our soil. How is it that the man who gave the order to bomb Pan Am 103 is allowed to step onto our soil with impunity and spread his poison? (I know, diplomatic immunity.) This latest example of watching the clowns come piling out of the proverbial Volkswagen at the circus just further illustrates what a feckless organization the UN is and why decent and democratic nations need to look for an alternative.

There was Ahmadinejad repeating his loony assertion that the Holocaust was a myth. There was Ghaddafi, looking like one of Michael Vick's abused fighting dogs, blaming the free world for the shortcomings of fetid, failed Third World nations like his own Libya.

A tequila hangover


And there was Barack Obama talking about the things that bind us as nations, as if Libya and Japan were just two co-equals as nations. They are not. How naive is this new American president? At the same time that this cage au folles is underway in New York, our State Department is announcing that we are giving $2.5 million dollars to Libya plus $400,000 to foundations run by the Ghaddafi family. And for what? To support democracy! So we support democracy by giving money to a dictator who brought down an American jet over Scotland!! This, of course, is the same president and same State Department that takes the side of would be Honduran dictator Manuel Zelaya over the current government that removed him under the Honduran constitutional process for trying to circumvent the nation's election law. So we join forces with none other than Hugo Chavez in trying to bring poor little Honduras to its knees and re-install a two-bit thug like Zelaya.

I also noticed that the hapless Gordon ("Oil in our time") Brown was there-fresh off his own diplomatic triumph with Libya. Enjoy the oil, Gordie. You now preside over a washed-up dhimmi state that will soon be publishing new banknotes with Neville Chamberlain on their face.

The only voice of sanity was that of Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel. Of course, he was treated like the skunk at the garden party by the assembled collection of corrupt nosepickers who congregate at the UN.

By the way, did you see the shots of the Secretary of State sitting behind Obama at the UN? (That's Hillary Clinton for you UC-Santa Cruz Community Studies majors.)She was looking a little haggard, wouldn't you say-as truly befitting one who has been flying around the world for the last several months-apparently without ever landing-just flying around the world. Judging by the scowl on her face, one would think someone had asked her what Bill thought about some international issue-like that unfortunate chap in the Congo did last month.

Apparently, Obama and Hillary are bent on throwing out the old friends and bringing in the new. Perhaps a state visit to Sudan is now in the offings-you know-a "new relationship built on trust, mutual respect, cooperation and equality."

What would Churchill say?

"Right on!!!"

Wrong Churchill. Wrong speech. (Was he there too?)
