Maybe we should send some inspectors in first and let them look around... for 12 years.

Hey Annan, we'll deploy after you get down on your knees, appologize and beg our forgiveness for your actions concerning Iraq, and promise never to act like an ass again when dealing with the US.
We'll be waiting...

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan urged the United States on Monday to deploy troops in turbulent Liberia "before it is too late"...............
WHO ROUSED THIS IDIOT FROM HIS COMA?

Don't we have enough on our plate with Afghanistan and Iraq?
Let someone else solve Liberia's internal problems,what does it have to do with us?

If Annan and the UN want us in, it must be a trap.

Holy smoke - it's what I get for not paying attention. 10,000 people in the embassy compound? And the rebels are using mortars? And we have all of 70 Marines to defend it? Yow...
Well, Kofi or no Kofi we're in. What a pity the giant street puppets in Europe aren't marching to our aid. That'd larn 'em...

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan Lead the way, General. You are a General are you not?

Suddenly, every tin-pot would be "king of the world" (kofi) looks to Dubya to sort out the problems of the world. Here is a big shot Bush critic begging Dubya to sort out yet another mess in Africa - his own backyard.
Kofi should have been fired after the Rwanda genocide... he did a great job there... or any other catastrophe where he has proved his inefficacy, impotence and incompetence.

But what of the international community? Heaven forbid we be seen as some imperialist, arrogant, colonialist nation of cowboys, thumbing our collective nose at the rest of the world! No, no, I think we need some debate, some dialogue, with other esteemed U.N. members, to come to a cohesive, rational response.

Bush Check List: UN wants to send troops--smartest thing to do for the US is to pull all troops from area and send them off the continent.

Yeah.... it's a pity we've got them so overmatched with our firepower.
To: Brian S
It's time for the UN to send other countries who consume far more UN resources than they contribite - send Belgium, Germany, France, Russia, China, Cuba, Canada, etc.
To: Brian S
This is nuts. We need to deploy our troops to California and Vermont to combat communist first.

Heh heh heh, your pretty circumspect there. Not that you're wrong mind you. I think you've got a point. On the same day Kofi orders us in to Liberia, he demands the Iraqis be left to implode without a functioning government.
This guy acts more and more like the janitor he was when he started at the UN.
Grab yourself a mop Kofi, at least that's an honorable position to take. It would be your first in many years if you were to take my advice.
To: Luke
Hey, not too much honesty and reality at one time. You're going to send some folks into shock.
To: SpinnerWebb
The Marines are only there for embassy security and there's 10,000 friendly bodies on the embassy grounds - they're going to be very hard put to keep the place from degenerating into total chaos much less chase bad guys with mortars. And there's nothing to keep Taylor's boys from lobbing a few if they've a mind to raise some hell. I got a real bad feeleing about this.
