US walking away from U.N. rights forum -diplomats 06 Jun 2008 15:50:07 GMT Source: Reuters GENEVA, June 6 (Reuters) - The United States has quietly informed Western allies of its intention to walk away from the U.N. Human Rights Council, diplomatic sources said on Friday.
The U.S. delegation has observer status, with the right to speak, in the 47-member state forum, which meets in Geneva, and has never stood for election to the Council since it was set up two years ago.
Diplomatic sources and rights activists said that U.S. officials had informed the European Union on Friday morning of its intention to halt its involvement in the Council.
"They said they were going to disengage totally," said one representative of a rights watchdog group.

Good. The UN’s idea of Human Rights is installing Islam throughout the globe.
MOST of the members of this UNRC sham have prisons that Gitmo look like Disneyland.
Exactly, walk away and give em the finger.
It’s a start.
When they finally do the right thing, they will have sent the UN packing to some socialist dungheap in Europe where it belongs. Yeah, I know, the USA is socialist enough but our government, if it had any cajones, would have been fed up with the UN anti-American crap a long time ago -— and would have shown them the door.

Indeed. The UN is Anti American in everything it does and says.
Its time we shipped it out of our Nation.
We should “disengage totally”...From the U.N.!
How about an corresponding reduction in UN dues.
Typical Reuters socialist spin.
It’s about time the US left this nest of rabid vipers.

You need to let them take a muslim under each arm as they go.
If the United States does deport every muslim in the United States, the time will come when they will regret not doing so. And it is not far down the road.
These countries don't even know what "human rights" are, except maybe Canada, which is trying to destroy its own free speech rights through its kangaroo "my-feelings-are-hurt" tribunals.
Probably not too good. After they cut the infdel’s throats, they would turn on each other.
Addendum to post # 19:
History has shown us that if they cannot kill an infidel, they kill each other.
Let's just quit paying the bill for the UN.
Pick up our purse and GO.
