UNITED NATIONS – In his first appearance, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi issued a slashing attack on the United Nations Security Council and chastised the world body on Wednesday for failing to intervene or prevent some 65 wars since the U.N. was founded in 1945.

Gadhafi called for reform of the Security Council — abolishing the veto power of the five permanent members — or expanding the body with additional member states to make it more representative.

"It should not be called the Security Council, it should be called the "terror council," he said.

The veto-wielding Security Council powers -- the United States, Britain, China, France and Russia -- treat smaller countries as "second class, despised" nations, Gadhafi said.

If we can’t dismantle the UN, maybe we could give veto power to every member nation. That would be fair, wouldn’t it?

"Now, brothers, there is no respect for the United Nations, no regard for the General Assembly," Gadhafi said.

It's truly a sign of the end times when a mad man like Gadhafi actually makes more sense than our own "leaders."

“I’m with Moammar. Let’s dismantle the UN.”

Here, here! But Moammar will have to find another night club where he can do his stand up shtick.

I totally agree with him on this.

The UN has never won a war, nor a conflict.

How many of the world’s current wars around the world involved muslims on one side or both sides of the conflict?

"It should not be called the Security Council, it should be called the "terror council," he said. "

He's right! The UN is full of eco-terrorists- green peace, world wildlife federation etc. run by a bunch of nutcases like moneky woman and david suzuki, a biologist who thinks he's a scientist who knows all about what causes global warming, which he doesn't. It's also full of Islamic terrorist member countries who shouldn't even be allowed in the UN until they establish PROPER democratic elections, a secular government, and a proper constitution which DOESN'T make it subserviant Koranic/Mohammadan Sharia law.

Worse yet, is the Un appoints representitives from these backwards Islamic hell holes- wherehuman rights rights are non-existant, and abuses of human rights run rampant- (Honor killings, chopping hands ofs, feet, fingers toes etc.)to humasn rights commisions! How freakin' retarded is that? I guess that's what happens when 90% of the UN security concil are MUSLIMS, who spend quality family time at Friday evening community events, where a woman is buried up to her neck and stoned to death by the entire community, (who giggle and laugh and have a heck of a good time) for the horrible crime of being raped.

And boy, that UN is really great at preventing nuclear proliferation as well. A bunch of MUSLIMS head up the UN's nuclear watchdog agency. Is it any wonder how three Islamic countries now have nuclear weapons?

The veto-wielding Security Council powers -- the United States, Britain, China, France and Russia -- treat smaller countries as "second class, despised" nations, Gadhafi said.

Well, maybe because they are? What are you doing there anyways Gad Daffy (duck)? You are a dictator, there is no democracy in your sandbox! Aren't UN member countries supposesd to be democracies?

Because he's constantly snorting coke? He ahas a stash hanging around his neck, and a little snort device in his pocket. if you watch him, you'll see him stick it in his noce once in a while and take a hit.

99% of the worlds wars/conflicts/ genocides involve Islam, "the religion of peace".

Why can't the Un stop them? Because the UN is full of Muslims from those countries. WHO is chairing the human rights council right now? TERRORISTS!

Heck, when the blue helmets go in, half the time they have problems keeping their member in their pants...and it hasn’t been consensual, from what I read.

I think it should be come standard to post the Swiss flag whenever we discuss Gaddafi; like a Maureen Dowd/Catherine Zeta Jones thing.

Even a broken clock gives the correct time twice a day.

Hilarious how you guys cheer on Gadhafi on saying this while in the same breath of time, he was spouting how the Israelis had JFK assassinated, among other rhetorical BS.

Like it is not obvious to many here and elsewhere that the UN is a defunct and dysfunctional international organization.....
