I can't say that I am surprised that the evidence shows that Syria murdered former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. What is surprising is that the UN admits it.The chief U.N. investigator into the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri said in remarks published Saturday that he believed Syrian authorities were behind the killing. It was the first time that Detlev

Stung by findings of costly mismanagement in Iraq, the United Nations assured the world yesterday that its billion-dollar tsunami assistance programme would be open to the most rigorous checks.Well. It assurances are good enough for me. What about you? Article HERE.

United Nations audits show what they call "lapses in U.N. oversight". Internal audits conducted by the United Nations (news - web sites) of its oil-for-food program revealed lapses in U.N. oversight that allowed contractors to overcharge by hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to copies obtained by The Associated Press. Two of the audits examined irregularities including overcharging by

There is no doubt that Syria is a terrorist supporting Nation. The U.N.'s oil-for-food scandal was placed center stage last year, but with Iraqi elections fast-approaching, there is another scandalous development at the U.N. that is beginning to receive national attention: How Syria, which served as a member of the U.N. Security Council from early 2002 through the end of 2003, has been continuing

Here is something new. A fully funded U.N. mission is unable to do it's job. While the United Nations appears to be adept at having meetings, the organisation is hopeless on the ground say career foreign service officers in tsunami-affected regions.

Bill O'Reilly, host of the highest-rated program on No. 1 Fox News Channel, last night endorsed Bill Clinton to replace Kofi Annan as secretary-general of the United Nations.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has chosen the high-profile British head of a key agency as his new chief of staff, the start of a reshuffle aimed at instituting U.N. reforms and combating scandals.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, under fire in Congress over a troubled oil program for Iraq, received some friendly advice last month in a private meeting with former U.S. Ambassador Richard Holbrooke and other foreign policy experts. It's seems weird that Richard Holbrooke the Democrat apologist is advising one of the most corrupt politicians in history (Kofi Annan) Article HERE.

Everyone is blaming President Bush, who is not responsible for other counties well being, for lacking a split second reaction to the tsunami crises. But what about Kofi Annan who is responsible for other counties well being? Tom Carter found the answer.

Good news. The United Nations sets up a commission. A United Nations commission will examine Indonesia's efforts to punish those responsible for human rights abuses in East Timor in 1999, Indonesia and East Timor said Friday. Jakarta said it would "reject" such a body, which would have the power to recommend that an international tribunal try Indonesian military officers accused in the

The United Nations says the departures of three of its top officials — Secretary-General Kofi Annan's chief of staff, the undersecretary-general for management and the U.N. controller — is coincidental. But in a year of unflattering headlines for the world body, some diplomats aren't so sure. The U.N. is under fire over alleged corruption in its oil-for-food program in Iraq, and U.N. staff this

It just gets worse and worse. Why do some people want to put all of their eggs in the U.N. basket? The already controversial U.N. Oil-for-Food (search) program may also have been a vast international money-laundering scheme involving potentially hundreds of millions of dollars, documents reviewed by FOX News suggest.

Those corrupt Annans never cease to amuse me. In their latest comedy routine, Kojo Annan blames republicans (presumably right wing) for investigating the Oil For Food Scandal. But, somehow he ended up with the bribery money.

The United Nations European headquarters, where a listening device was discovered in a ministerial meeting room, is probably rife with secret spying equipment, a U.N. security source said on Friday.

Iraq has asked the United Nations to increase the number of its personnel in the country to bolster preparations for the election and help ensure that the elections are fair -- and are seen to be fair. Let's see if they do it or if the pro-dictatorship French get in the way. Article HERE.

U.S. Rep. Tom Lantos expressed confidence Monday in U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan but predicted the world body will have to clean house over allegations of corruption in the U.N.-administered oil-for-food program in Iraq. Lantos, the only survivor of the Holocaust in Congress, also said he was appalled by reports of opposition by some Arab countries to the call by the United States to hold a

With it's booming economy, it should help out somewhere. The World Food Program on Tuesday urged Beijing to step up aid to hungry countries, especially in Africa, as the U.N. agency phases out aid to a China that now can feed itself. "Given the Chinese experience, we have as much to learn from China as China can learn from us," James T. Morris, the WFP executive director, said at a news

Why is the argument for Kyoto rediculus? No one can nail down the damage caused by human beings versus nature. First, let's find out what the main causes of global warming is. Then let's go after it.

I couldn't agree more. The United Nations climate change conference here is being panned as a "conference about nothing" by a free market advocate. "The Kyoto Protocol is a treaty about nothing. It's the Seinfeld (TV sitcom) conference," declared Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the free market environmental group Competitive Enterprise Institute.

All counties suffer with high oil prices. America, Europe and Asia will all feel the pinch. High prices act as a tax and therefore slow down progress. High and volatile oil prices will continue to restrain economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region next year, a U.N. agency said in a report released on Monday.

The Bush administration has listened in on phone calls between Mohamed ElBaradei and Iranian diplomats, seeking ammunition to oust ElBaradei as head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency, the Washington Post reported Sunday.

The Muslim nations of the Mid East are resisting reform. No reform can happen any where in the world until Israel and the Palestinians come to an agreement. So when Palestinians accept the fact that Jews exist, then the rest of the world can fix itself. But, not before.

United Nations politicians have rights that no American citizens have and they take advantage of it. They are known for abusing it. The last paragraph is my favorite.

Throw your support behind this effort. A group that is working to get the United Nations kicked out the U.S. is joining a battle to prevent the U.N. from expanding its headquarters in New York City.

Kofi Annan is insisting on so called reform to the United Nations. These reforms are designed to weaken the United States. "I think it is an excellent report.

Secretary-General Kofi Annan opened the first U.N. seminar on confronting Islamophobia with a plea not to judge Muslims by the acts of extremists who target and kill civilians.

Why is Kofi Annan only concerned with Anti-Muslim bigotry? Is he worried about surges in Anti-Semitic and Anti-Christian as well? If yes, is he going to attempt to counter it? Countering a surge in anti-Islamic bigotry requires urgent action by Muslims as well as non-Muslims, governments, the media and educators, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said on Tuesday.

Sudan, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, Zimbabwe, Russia: one thing these countries have in common is that their governments violate human rights flagrantly and systematically. But another thing they share, astonishingly enough, is membership on the U.N. body meant to

Kofi Annan has made clear that he will not step down as leader of the United Nations. I would like to see a bi-partisan proposal in Congress to demand that he step down. Kofi Annan, the United Nations secretary general, has rejected calls for his resignation over allegations about the UN's Iraq oil for food programme. “I think resignation is comparatively easy,” he told the Financial Times,

The reason we are not encouraging reform at the United Nations is that all proposed reforms are designed to limit U.S. power. Japan and the United States cannot agree on prospects for starting high working-level bilateral talks on U.N. reforms due to technical and political reasons on the U.S. side, sources familiar with bilateral ties said Sunday. The United States has told Japan it is

Who do they think did it? Villages have be emptied out left and right. All the U.N. can do is shrug their shoulders and say "they were there yesterday". There are reports all over about the militias killing villagers. Swooping over east Congo, a helicopter patrol by U.N. observers yesterday revealed emptied villages - one spotted a day earlier was half-burned - but little sign of who was

U.N. encountered militia in Congo. Well, now they can't say there aren't any problems there. Maybe, they could pass a resolution with teeth now. Maybe. U.N. forces and fighters of a tribal militia traded fire Sunday in Congo's lawless northeast Ituri province, wounding at least two U.N. troops, a U.N. spokesman said. The clash occurred as U.N. forces tried to investigate reports of a mass

The Canadians seem to have developed an point of view of terrorism similar to the French. As long as you are not hurting Canadians, you can kill whoever you want. This article talks of Canada's PM voting against a few resolutions designed to hurt Israel and get Jews killed. Well apparently that didn't go over to well with the people of Canada. But Martin's government made a move last week —

Again, the United Nations encourages countries to assert less control over whoever wants to cross their borders. A surge in global migration at the end of the 20th century shows no sign of letting up – but is keeping populations from declining in Europe, stimulating economic growth in the United States and providing a much-needed source of foreign income for poor nations, according to a U.N.

William F. Buckely Jr. sums up the situation with the United Nations. The secretary-general is pretty universally discredited by a money scandal, which some estimate to be perhaps the largest in human history. It is a scandal that has so immobilized normal respiratory practices that Paul Volcker himself, the most direct and fearless public official in recent history, is tongue-tied. He appears

Is this more proof that the United Nations was involved with 9/11. If money went from the Oil For Food Scandal to Al-Qaida, then that is exactly what happened. In what may be the most shocking news to emerge from the already stunning Oil for Food scandal, investigators say that Saddam Hussein bankrolled key al Qaida players in the late 1990s - a period of time when the terror group was planning

We need to leave the United Nations. At this point, E.U. states nations want a bunch of vetos, Asia states wants a bunch of vetos and the U.S. only gets on veto. This is a broken organization tantamount to the League Of Nations. Russia said on Saturday India should become a veto-wielding permanent member of the United Nations Security Council if the U.N.'s top decision-making body is enlarged

Five bucks says the election happens on time. It would be impossible to hold elections in Iraq in January if the security situation remains as precarious as it is, U.N. adviser Lakhdar Brahimi told a Dutch newspaper in an interview published on Saturday.

Anne Bayefsky explains why the United Nations, which founded out of the ashes of the Holocaust, won't lift a finger to fight Anti-Semitism. It also shows why it is hopeless to try to reform the United Nations. Arab and Muslim states unabashedly take the offensive, hijacking the medium of human rights to serve a political agenda aimed at denying Jewish self-determination and destroying the

I have to say, when it comes to the U.N., this is the first encouraging news I have heard in years. Maybe in my lifetime. Three years after winning the Nobel Peace Prize, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan is the target of escalating attacks in the United States and a U.S. senator has called for his resignation over a deepening corruption scandal in the U.N. oil-for-food program in Iraq.

Dozens of countries are lining up to support U-N Secretary-General Kofi Annan (KOH'-fee AN'-nan) after Senator Norm Coleman called for Annan's resignation. Supporters include the four permanent members of the Security Council other than the United States. Are we supposed to be impressed by this. Dozens of countries probably profited off the Oil For Food Scandal too. Article HERE.

There are very few people defending Kofi Annan. But, the ones that are don't impress me. Move America Forward, the group campaigning to get the United Nations kicked out of the U.S., has criticized a State Department spokesman for defending U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, who is increasingly under fire for his alleged role in the Oil-for-Food scandal. The State Department's Adam Ereli

The U.N. has been caught off Guard by the campaigns to get rid of it. Apparently, it is not just "Right Wing Republicans" that want the U.N. out. Diplomats at the United Nations, caught by surprise at the broad assault on the organization and Annan, are alarmed at evidence that a campaign they felt was confined to conservative Republicans angry over UN opposition to the Bush administration

I still don't recall the United Nations condemning Lebanon's Muslim terrorist for shooting rockets into Israel. If they stopped trying to kill Jews than Israel would stop the fly overs.
