I think I would have told him to FO, and I will call him back when we have finished the job. Then after finishing the job, I would call him back and tell him he has 24 hours to get Iran and Hezbollah under control or we will get it under control ourselves....

A shame that they can’t take out the UN building while they are at it.

Exactly.

Maybe Ban could contact Egypt and request sanctuary for the Palestinians.

It might be a sin to say it, but he should be glad I'm not in charge. After the murderous actions of Hamas against Israel, if I had any say in the response to those acts, I would give new meaning to the phrase "heavy suffering".

USELESS UN ~ “Where were the emergency sessions of the Security Council when for seven months Hamas missiles targeted 500,000 Israelis? Why was there no U.N. late night sessions then?

And why didn’t those same demonstrators who now condemn Israel take to the streets when Israeli civilians faced daily rocket attacks for those seven months?”
