Might I suggest another survey question? How many out there believe that the U.N. building should turned into a homeless shelter or a parking lot?

Educate me, Garnet, why are we still even involved with the U.N? I truly see no purpose (and haven't since I was in my 20s) except to waste more money.

Great post as always.

Not sure if you've had the pleasure of reading any of my screeds about this absolutely,frigging,cowardly,theiving buch of bastids,but had the 9/11 terrorists hit that swine pen at Turtle Bay,I'd have been cheering,instead of the moooslims.Mrs.Al,the only reason I can see we STILL have ANYTHING to do with this bunch is primarily because the COWARDS in D.C. won't tell them to go to hell,politely,or impolitely. If you have not done so,may I suggest reading Eric Shawn's "The U.N.-Exposed". Eric Shawn has covered the U-f-ing-N for many years,he tells it like it is about this den of devils. Good post,Garnet,even though I have to get calmed down! mwahahahahaha

Wasn't the idea

of a fine new building for these Nimrods tossed around for a while? We have indeed become a nation of paper puddytats. Brainless, gutless, toothless wimps. Are there no John Waynes, Ronald Reagans, George Pattons left in America? Surely they're out there somewhere. Come out, come out wherever you are................

Your usual good work here, G92.

The only thing

that could possibly save the UN would be to put John Bolton in as Secretary General. Short of that, level it and put up a memorial to ineptitude.

I believe

that we should put a group of preschoolers against the UN and see who accomplishes more. I'd think you'd know the answer there.

The good ol Undecided Nations don't work anymore.

The UN has always been a failure ever since Breton Woods and Cordell Hull and Alger Hiss worked on its Charter. and now the IMF has been handed economic authority by our CIC without rendering to the Constitution of the USA. I canot wait until the faux Messaih calls for a World Army made up of UN forces and paid by the USA. It will come. Drop by my newest friend.

I think that most conservatives would opt out in a New York second - I think it's just the PC thing to do. We'll never leave with a liberal dem in the White House.

clyde, I have not read Shawn's

book and would like to - I may try next week to drop by my local branch library and see if it's available. The thing is, I don't need any more reason(s) to want to dump the UN, I'm already over the edge.

Right Bobbie I love to see George Patton

visiting B. D'ohbama in a hospital. And now we've got a handful of terrorists in a lifeboat in a standoff with three U.S. warships and I'll bet the "rules of engagement" don't allow for lethal force except in EXTREME cases (like they call Michelle "fat" or something like that).

You know, Eric the UN

is all about a bunch of pacifists playing "house" like they're world diplomats. In my view, the UN is an international version of ACORN and about as useful.

You probably won't have long to wait

rackoons, I agree that D'ohbama will be eager to support the UN taking over all military duties from the U.S. But you know that the other large non-European powers won't relinquish their armies so, under that premise, it would only be a matter of time before we're attacked. Only after we were defeated would the UN blue hats come in to assure there were no civilian uprisings.

Well done, Pesky Truth! Feckless is the perfect definition. Blatant human rights violators sit on its insecurity council. The un is full of crooks and liars. Oil for Food, etc. un peacekeepers sexually abusing starving children with crackers and candybars. They are worthless and should be evicted from the US. Won`t happen in the next four years, but ....

Funny, my copy of Webster's has a picture of Harry-effin-Reid under the definition of feckless, but why quibble. A rose by any other name...
Prescient comment by Davecat re:sniper bullets in the head...took, what, 5 days of fecklessness before someone made a call? I'll bet Bambi was on hold with Bunky Moon the whole time, awaiting permission.
Claudia Rossett has some great pieces on the UN as well, especially re: the Oil-For-Food debacle.

You called it Dave

Three shots, three kills. Three fewer pirates. And the captain rescued. At least D'ohbama did (apparently) approve the actions. Of course, he had the easy part - the military developed the plan, brought in Navy Seals and when given the command (by Commander Castellano), the Seals ventilated the pirates.

The right outcome.

It seemed a perfect description of

the UN, Dawn. I wish I knew how we can cut the ties with that worthless organization - but don't see that happening in the near future. D'ohbama will Krazy Glue us to the UN even tighter than ever. I really do think that he has designs on the Grand Poobahship of the world and keeping himself on the world stage is part of his plan.

Right Sarge, Reid is the poster

boy for fecklessness in the Congress. How can any citizen have confidence in "leadership" that has Pelosi and Reid at the helm? And let's not forget Dodd, Frank, Waxman, Murtha, etc.

At least the pirates have assumed room temperature.

I'd never been exposed to that post having only come aboard TH in mid 2008. Wish I had more time to go back and read more of what bloggers were writing before I became "aware."

Its Not Feckless, Its Fecked-Up

As Obamunism reduces the US to its proper role as a poverty-stricken socialist basket case the UN will atrophy and disappear. You think the Russkies, the towelheads and the Chicoms are going to be kicking in the cash to keep that worthless waste of time running? No way. The UN will disappear within the next few years. Chaos and lawlessness are the end product of this Hope And Change. Eliminating the capitalist system and Evil Factory Farming, in the name of fixing the weather, will eliminate a large portion of the world's ability to produce and distribute food. When countries like Egypt and Pakistan, basket-cases living on international charity and cheap, subsidized food imports,are cut off in the coming bankruptcy of the West they are going to turn into larger versions of Somalia where a few million savages wander in the corse-strewn ruins.
