The UN is about to go to war for the first time in its history after the Security Council voted unanimously to intervene to fight rebels in the Congo.
Around 3,000 UN troops wearing the blue insignia, are being deployed to the central African nation which has been wracked by years of civil war and lawlessness.
The UN has led a 14-year-long peacekeeping in a bid to end the ethic conflict which was sparked by the genocide in neighbouring Rwanda when thousands of Hutus fled into the Congo to evade justice.

It will be the first time that the UN itself will be in direct control of a fighting force, responsible for the tactics on the ground, troop deployments and air strikes.
The force will be made up of soldiers from South Africa, Tanzania and Malawi and is under the command of Brazilian general Carlos Alberto dos Santos Cruz, who is credited with dismantling criminal gangs in Haiti in 2007.
It will be deployed against M23 (March 23) rebels in the east of the country.

Should read “spreading deadly diseases”
FIRST, SECOND and THIRD it. GET THE US OUT OF THE UN AND GET THE UN OUT OF THE USA.
Thanks Pan-Yan. I hadn’t realized it was quite that interesting of an exchange program.
All right, seconded. All in favor...
Get the girls and children off the streets. The UN baby rapists are back.
If they announced tomorrow that the UN was moving to Babylon I wouldn't bat an eyelash.
It will be the first time that the UN itself will be in direct control of a fighting force, ....This don’t bode well for ANY of the bodees.
This should be fun to watch.
Some people I’ve talked to believe that Obama might try to deploy U.N. troops on American soil in the not-too-distant future. And there are a lot of heavily armed citizens in this country who have spent generations preparing for just such an event. Molon Labe!
do you like violent rape/snuff films?
:p
Because that is about what I am thinking is going to be happening down there.
Unfortunately they aren't any safer without the UN.
Congo: We did whatever we wanted, says soldier who raped 53 women
How many ragheads from Outer Crapistan do you think will sign up for this suicide mission?
Korea?
Those UN fools wil fold up like a cheap lawn chair with a fat woman in it the first time bullets fly. I’ll lay odds they take 25% casualties in the first engagement.

I saw a show on the History Channel or something about how 300 hired guys with Executive Outcomes beat a violent, horrifying rebel force of upwards of 20,000 in very little time in Sierra Leone (or some country), the result was the UN banning companies like Executive Outcomes.
Always gotta wonder why governments often take the wrong side and wrong lesson in everything.
Expect to see Congolese in native dress in the gallery of the Security Council chanting, “Viva Lamumba, Viva Lamumba”
I thought Korea was merely a police action.
