I don't think that it's a leap at all. The UN is a pestilential hell hole and I blame it, Annan, Chirac, Shroeder and Putin for every single one of the precious, irreplacable lives we have lost.
Not only every U.S. military life, but every single hostage of any nationality taken and beheaded in a horrible death can and must be laid at the the door of the criminal U.N. and its facilitators, most notably Kofi Annan. This does not even mention the many, many Iraqi lives lost and the number of people tortured and murdered in places like Fallujah.
Kofi and his friends have a highly selective and refined sense of outrage at human rights abuses. It's only a problem if it threatens their global fiefdom.
Bears repeating.
What a corrupt bunch.
