| UN urges tough action on al-Qaeda | |
| 2003-12-01 | |
Stronger measures may be necessary to compel United Nations member states to assist in the fight against international terrorism, the UN’s al-Qaeda monitoring committee says. The committee’s latest report notes that the al-Qaeda ideology has continued to spread, raising the spectre of further terrorist attacks. The message from this latest report is that the UN’s tools for monitoring al-Qaeda may need strengthening. Up until now the monitoring committee has relied on UN member states to volunteer information about how they are limiting the activities of al-Qaeda and associated groups - information about controls on the flow of money, arms and individuals across international borders. But fewer than half of all member states are co-operating and even the quality of the information provided by those states is being questioned, the UN says.

| #5 Here's what's sad about the UN: The combined (vast) majority of member nations at the UN fall into one of two camps: 1)Those that don't give a damn if the USA is hit (again) by AQ; and 2) Those that relish the thought of the USA being hit (again) by AQ. |

| #4 The headline explains it all - UN urges tough action on al-Qaeda. "Without a much tougher and more comprehensive resolution... little or no progress will be achieved with regard to the sanctions regime imposed on Osama Bin Laden, al-Qaeda, the Taleban, their associates and associated entities," the report said. Yessiree folks, another resolution - a tougher one, at that - will do the trick! That should get those slackers to comply. Yessiree... |

| #3 [Scribbled notes on report cover page] A nuclear or other type of WMD in NY will take out the UN building and its occupants. Send this report back for revision. It needs to have heavier conclusions and recommendations. Good 6th grade try, but it won't fit the real world. Better get the new one on my desk in a week. Will review it again and see if it meets the needs of the American people and her allies. --GWB |

| #2 Oh, goodie. Just what the world has been breathlessly waiting for: a "tougher and more comprehensive resolution" against Al-Qaeda. What a joke these people are... |

| #1 ROTFF&LMFAO!!!! Those crazy nuts at the UN! What a comedic bunch of The report says that without a tougher and more comprehensive resolution... ...we will taunt you a second time... ...that obliges states to provide the information requested, the role of the UN in the fight against international terrorism risks being marginalised (sic). Marginalized from the margin means you're off the page. The UN puts the "un" in |
