"So American personnel in American planes and American ships will deliver American food and American medicine and implement an American relief plan, but it's still a "UN-led effort."

WorldNetDaily provided a link to a diplomatic blogsite which, in no uncertain terms, made it clear that the UN has been totally useless in the effort so far.

The UN has a number of observers here and there (not in the seriously affected areas.) That's it. No more.
