UN: STOP THE WAR!
Free-Thinkers ^ | 10-20 | News

The Observer..

The United Nations is set to issue an unprecedented appeal to the United States and its coalition allies to halt the war on Afghanistan and allow time for a huge relief operation.

UN sources in Pakistan said growing concern over the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the country - in part, they say, caused by the relentless bombing campaign - has forced them to take the radical step. Aid officials estimate that up to 7.5 million Afghans might be threatened with starvation.

'The situation is completely untenable inside Afghanistan. We really need to get our point across here and have to be very bold in doing it. Unless the [US air] strikes stop, there will be a huge number of deaths,' one UN source said.

It's fairly obvious this is merely a move by the Third-World dominated UN to keep America from defending itself.

Anyone got the link to the column the NY Post gal wrote about it being "time for the UN to get the hell out of town"?

Good column, that.

How long have we been bombing? Two weeks? And they are starving already? Only because the Taliban has stolen all of their food.

Well, Afghans, you have around four more years of bombing to look forward to unless you turn over the evil-doers.

How hard is that choice?

Hoosier Patriot to UN:

Flash!! In an unprecidented move, I have taken the liberty of "self moderating" my reply, due to the fact that it would simply be a boiling litany of expletives that would likely set fire to this thread.

Over and out.

I dunno. Maybe the UN knows something that we don't. Consider the taliban's ridiculous dare for us to send 100,000 troops; obviously a trap.

Personally, I think that the taliban HAS an enormous nuke: They value their own deaths by the means of martyrdom to kill the infidels.

We MUST continue the operation as it stands. BEFORE they do something stoopid that would affect all and make us look like WE caused it.

Just an opinion.

Nuh uh! Sorry UN. You've already claimed that the Taliban have siezed 2 of your 6 food warehouses. We know the Taliban over a month ago siezed a building that hosted the red cross and sent them packing. We also know that the Taliban have arrested third party relief workers and are trying them for breaking sharia law. So shove it liars!

Great column by Andrea Peyser. Not only did she tell the UN "analize this you bastards", she also called Christine Annapour a "slut". I wished I'd bookmarked it.
