It's time to send the UN packing.
What are they going to do, strike? Anything that caused the UN to cease operations cant be bad.
Take our 22% and just leave the UN Mr. Bolton. Let that debating society whine. Also, don't forget to tell Japan they can leave to.
That is almost half the UN funding gone.
Good for Bolton. That's why he's there.
"We are not in favour of holding any individual items or the budget hostage to other issues
It's also being done to embarass Bolton and undercut Bush.
Yes, the British Parliament Labour Party thugs are in on the game.
Blair has to be careful and pick his fights judiciously. This is probably not one he wants to enter into.

The UN is nothing but a club for rapists, thieves and murderers. Send them all packing. NOW!
[I'm ashamed of the UK!]
I know a lot of folks here would have us wash our hands of any such organizations forever, but here's what I would propose: the USA and Japan should jointly agree to withdraw from the UN and take the nearly 50% portion of the UN budget to announce the founding a new, bilateral international aid organization that will be founded on rationally defensible principles, including promotion of private enterprise and non-governmental solutions to problems in the "developing world" (or not-developing world as it might better be called). We will only allow new 'members' to our new organization who agree to contribute their reasonable share (no more freeloaders!!) and who agree to the organization's principles and by-laws, which will promote liberty, democracy, free enterprise, and the greatest economic/political principles the world has ever known. Why waste any more of our time and resources trying to influence the corrupt and pathetic UN? Let all those governments who are so addicted to it PAY for it, and we will do something better with the money contributed by the USA and Japan (if only we can get Japan to go along with a better course of action). In time this new organization would become the principal entity worthy of respect on the international stage, but we'd have to make sure it would not allow membership to the moonbat countries that currently dominate too much of the UN's activities.........
If they can't compete they'll lose their profits.
Now we know who has the cajones and who are the, shall we say, the wussies.
good cop bad cop
Trouble is, Bolton and Bush don't know if they are coming or going with the UN... they should grow a spine and kick the UN out.. or figure out a way to work with/around them. But they and the other Repubs, will piss and moan and shout... and not do anything, and ultimately go along.
The Repubs now have all the power... why aren't they using it?
Yes sir.
I'm glad to see Mr. Bolton stirring the pot.
Don't stop.

TRANSLATION: Third World Basket Cases and Failed Nations
I am not a Darwinist, and I believe his theory of evolution is deeply flawed, but I know many believe it. If it was true, would not that make these nations the weaker of the lot? All nations developed through Evolution, and some nations are more "fit" than others, correct?
Then, by Darwin's theory, those nations should perish.
Alas, I don't believe in Darwin. We are all God's creatures. But the bible says God judges nations as well as individuals.
That sounds soooo defensive and insecure, doesn't it? They clearly stole their title from the G7 of economically successful nations.

Oil For Food, no doubt. The Brits should've cleaned house.
