NATIONS -- U.N. peacekeepers recently spotted armed U.S. Marines cutting a fence between Kuwait and Iraq, an act which was reported to the Security Council on Thursday as a possible violation of international law.
U.N. spokesman Fred Eckhard said peacekeepers who monitor a demilitarized zone set up after the 1991 Persian Gulf War between Iraq and Kuwait reported "numerous violations," since March 4 "by personnel in civilian clothes in 4 x 4 vehicles, at least some of whom were armed and identified themselves as U.S. Marines."
U.S. diplomats had no immediate comment on the matter.

Hell, the UN doesn't do anything about anything anyway. We have no reason to care or worry.

Maybe our Marines should round up these UN maggots for their own safety until this is over!

Hahahhahaaha
What about the wetbacks in the southern US who cut fences, pollute and destroy US farmers lands, and commit atrocities against the same farmers? They too would be breaking "international law".
As for arresting a Marine for such transgressions...aint a blue hat in the world with enough balls.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell Then. Let's send Hans Flix to check it out.
It will be 2025 before he decides what kind of wire the fence was.
