#2 The United Nations said Monday it had withdrawn its peacekeepers from high-risk Golan positions because of escalating fighting between Syrian government forces and opposition fighters and relocated its forces to the Israeli side of the border.

A very practical decision---since their only function in the region is to harass the Zionist entity.

In my present state that phrase strikes me as hilarious. Vaguely related to the drunk searching for his key under the streetlight.

#5 Keep in mind - when the Filipinos were surrounded by the enemy the U.N. Leadershit (with apologies to all poop out there) ordered them to surrender.
The fact that they basically told the U.N. leadershit to FOAD should give some indication of their mettle.
With that kind of support I really don't blame them. Never. ever, ever trust the U.N. to cover your back - ou will regret it!
