This is just hilarious….the U.N. Foundation’s blog run by former John Kerry campaign aides–is attacking Roger Simon. WTF is going thru their heads?
His crime?
20% of Roger L. Simon’s blog entries during the month of April make reference to the Oil-for-Food controversy.
0% of Roger L. Simon’s blog entries during April make reference to the following UN-related issues:
They then go on to list some issues that other bloggers have slapped around quite a bit today:
UND then lists a number of UN initiatives that supposedly have been or are successfully being implemented. Perhaps these programs do work well, although it’s hard to tell. By the time we get past issues like Annan’s nepotism, Saddam’s massive theft, his purchasing of UNSC vetoes staving off action against his genocidal regime, and the endemic sexual exploitation of women and young girls unfortunate enough to find themselves under the “protection” of United Nations peacekeepers and observers, we’re simply too exhausted to examine the minutiae of the UN’s efforts to rebuild Iraq’s marshlands.
(I would point out to the bloggers at UND that this latter effort would not have been possible if the US and UK had not removed Saddam Hussein from power despite the UN’s best efforts to protect him. It also would not have been necessary had the UN allowed us to march to Baghdad in 1991 when the road was open and the marshes still existed.)
Or a few from Confederate Yankee:
Tackling the threat of transnational organized crime
After reading of the massive amounts of corruption I’ve read about involving the Oil-For-Food scandal and kickbacks involving the French, the Russians, and various UN diplomats and hangers-on including the UN chairman’s own family, I think the UN could rightly be defined as “trasnational organized crime” itself, couldn’ it?
Are they trying to debunk Simon’s claim, or are they piling-on themselves?
Shipping supplies to millions of Iraqi schoolchildren
This was instead of shipping freedom to Iraq, which the United States eventually did (against UN wishes). Unfortunately, the delay left more than a few Iraqi schoolchildren in mass graves still being discovered.
Controlling the Marburg virus
If UN peacekeeping was worth a damn, perhaps Angola wouldn’t have been at war for decades and their hospitals might have been better prepared to handle a disease easily contained by basic protective measures. Through apathy, the UN helped create conditions that made the outbreak so severe.
Again fanboys, you aren’t helping your cause too much…
Frankly this blog and the emails sent to bloggers from this blog make it seem as if the corrupt UN is in a panic. They now know they cannot buy off this problem they have, like they usually do. Kofi will be frying soon, Not soon enough in my opinion. Just wish the whole UN would fry with him.
