A petulant little brat, this U.N.
Imagine- demanding a halt to all miltary action on the Ivory Coast:)
and further- UN peacekeepers and French forces are authorized to use "all necessary means" to carry out their mandate."
Ahem...errr..uhhmmmm...this sounds so familiar to me, somehow. And yet I must be mistaken. After all, did this SAME U.N. allow Saddam Hussein to routinely ignore a gazillion UN resolutions/mandates?
Oh...never mind- this time it's FRANCE who's calling the shots..
“all necessary means”….Wasn’t that the same phrase used in the UN resolution the French voted for and latter said didn’t authorize the ouster of Saddam? If so I’m sure the leftist of the world will soon be call Chirac (sp?) a war criminal.
