When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Cementing the UN's reputation as an utterly useless, no, worse than useless organization, comes U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who worries that Israel's ground offensive "complicates the international community's efforts to achieve a cease-fire" according to the CNN article. (I ignore the comments of the execrable antisemite, U.N. General Assembly President Miguel D'escoto Brockmann, in the same article.) Gee, y'think?
What on earth is the point of this organization other than to get us to waste our time and money trying to limit the damage it does?
And why is that a bad thing, Ban, ol' boy? I don't want the much-vaunted international community anywhere near achieving a ceasefire. Every time they do, Israel suffers. Like UN Resolution 1701, which was supposed to disarm Hezbollah. How's that working out, by the way?
I wish we would run the UN out of the US. I know that parcle of land in NY could be used for something productive.
