#6  They can have ours. It might be a little tight for the two of them, but I'm sure they'll manage.

#5  ummm, I don't think the UN can offer permenant seats to anyone. Well, they can offer, but the US will use its veto each time.

#2  This is yet another immoral act of bribery. Who the hell does the UN think they are?

The original UN charter called for the UN to serve the needs of member states, not the other way around.

Today is it a method for trivial countries (Germany, France, Spain, etc) to road block the actions of any substantive country.

When membership in the UN makes any rightful actions by the US difficult, it is time to pull stakes and get out.

#1  ROFL!!! UN payola and bribery... those funds are expected to pass thru UN hands, of course.

The overt nature of UN corruption and scheming, tightly coupled with the most absurd tranzi metrics and faux morality, have set new lows.

DEAD. Kill it DEAD.
