Outrage: The U.N. Will Investigate Our Soldiers But Sees “No Point” In Investigating Terrorists

Had your coffee? Looking forward to the day? In a good mood?

I’ll fix that. From the Washington Times:

NEW YORK — The U.N. specialist on illegal executions plans to probe the use of deadly force by U.S. troops and military contractors in Iraq when he visits the United States next spring.

But...wait. What about all those “illegal executions” by the people we’re fighting, you know little things like blowing up big bombs in crowded market places, killing women just because you can, beheadings, etc? Our intrepid U.N. investigator doesn’t see any point in investigating those:

Asked whether he also planned to visit Iraq to look into ethnic cleansing and militia killings there, human rights rapporteur Philip Alston said he saw no point because his movements would be too severely restricted by security concerns.

Tell me something...what in the name of sanity happens to people when they are elected to high office? Does their IQ drop as their prestige rises? Why isn’t someone in our government telling this politically correct U.N. clown to pound sand? But...here’s the icing on the cake. Instead of saying, “go away, little man, and come back after you’ve investigated the barbarians we’re fighting,” we’re doing just the opposite:

Nonetheless, a U.S. representative at the Friday meeting of the so-called Third Committee, which deals with economic, social and human rights issues, said the Bush administration welcomes Mr. Alston’s visit.

So, is this the first step to answering to the U.N. and having our officers and soldiers put on international trial for supposed crimes? Think about it.

Still having a good morning? Told you I’d fix that.

That is because most of the UN Leaders are Terrorists!

Good find, Pil. I’m gonna ruin your lunch. This has been progressing for 5 years. And the exonerated Marines? From the Haditha incident where terrorists used civilians and their homes as fighting positions and drew the Marines into engaging them and killing said civilians? They got to repeat it with the Judicial Council convened by the Third Committee. Nice little Orwellian touch there.

And it was established at the start of this little drama that the investigations would be only of uniformed combatants. Everyone else gets a free pass.

I’ll see if I can pull up the specifics. I’ve changed computers twice since I had those PDFs, not sure where they are, if I still have them.

Hotel,

You know, I just had my little chuckle over Bush-related-to-Dracula thing and here you go causing my reflux to kick up all over again.

In another time there would have been 2 inch headlines in every major paper in the country over this. Not now. The left WANTS us to lose our rights as a sovereign country.

Alka-seltzer. I want alka-seltzer. Sheesh.


Election ‘08 - We Are So Screwed

The world turned upside down. i.e. the good guys are the bad guys and vice versa.  This mania of treating criminals as if they were the victims and the victims as though they were criminals started with leftie doctrine 40 - 50 years ago and has progressively gotten more and more absurd over the years.


You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.
