U.N.'s Malloch Brown Questions Hezbollah's 'Terror' Designation
Fox News ^ | 8/2/06 | Sharon Kehnemui Liss

WASHINGTON — U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Mark Malloch Brown may want to stick to reforming his own office and stop criticizing member states, a State Department spokesman said Wednesday.

Malloch Brown was quoted in a British newspaper Wednesday suggesting that he does not think that Hezbollah, the Syrian- and Iranian-backed group currently fighting Israeli Defense Forces, is a terrorist organization.

"It's not helpful to couch this war in the language of international terrorism. Hezbollah employs terrorist tactics; it is an organization, however, whose roots historically are completely separate and different from Al Qaeda," he said, according to a transcript of an interview.

"I have to say that some of his comments, as reported today, are really misguided and misplaced. And we are seeing a troubling pattern of a high official of the U.N. who seems to be making it his business to criticize member states and, frankly, with misplaced and misguided criticisms. So I really don't understand the origin of these comments," said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack.

I would say I have to agree. There is no way that a group of people who actively kidnap, murder, strap suicide belts on themselves, indiscriminately launch missiles into civilian area can be called

....hang on.....nope couldn't do it...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Thought I could make it through that without laughing.

Looks like Malloch Brown has no concept of history.

Could someone remind me why we are participating in the UN charade? Why we are funding that organization?

This UN nincompoop is trying to redefine the word. Typical left wing maneuver.

This is nothing more than an incompetent UN trying to afford Geneva Convention rights to the Hezbos and so they can have leverage over Israel.

When is the United States going to throw the UN onto the Ash Heap of History, right next to the League of Nations?

This man is a moron. Hizbollah has been training terrorists in Iraq; we know this by their tactics.

Leftist imbeciles are so tiresome..... let's see group X uses "terrorist" methods but does not share identical historical roots with Al Qaeda. ergo, it is not really a "terrorist" group......and so Hamas and Islamic Jihad and Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades must not be terrorist groups either.

So the brilliant Malloch Brown is saying, in effect, that only Al Qaeda (and its official offshoots) can be a terrorist group.... and he wonders why so many REAL Americans despise and loathe the UN and pompous international bureaucrats like Malloch Brown and Kofi Annan.

Exactly. Something has to be done to the U.S. government's pandering to this sick organization of the world's worst despots, criminals, dictators, communists and terrorists.

I wonder how deep into Arab pockets Malloch Brown is?

We got 241 Marines killed at the hands of POS Hezzbobos and as yet no payback.

Just give us an excuse Malloch me lad, and BTW you are right , they are not terrorists.

They are Islamofascists.

Criminals.

Walking dead.
