#1 Works for me. Having contact with the Taliban is over the top. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.

#2 "Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out."

Good advice, SPo'D.

The EUnichs and UNichs can't afford any more brain damage.

#3 The UN and the EU have two things in common: they are all unelected bureaucrats, and they all think they should run the world. I can't wait until the turf battles break out between them. Neither really has any legitimacy except what they convey upon themselves.

#4 #1 "Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out." Is that the English translation for the Latin persona non grata?

#5 So how come Afghanistan can kick out U.N. Officials who are in cahoots with their enemies and we can't?

Outside of having an empty building in Turtle Bay I can't see a downside.

#6 That's not a downside, CF.

Donald Trump has already said he can renovate that building for a decent sum of money (not the ridiculous sum the U~~seless~~N~~itwits~~ want us to pay.

Let's give The Donald a chance! :-D

#7 As far as I can tell, there are four kinds of UN people.

The type who do their jobs and do them well. The WHO doctors who helped eradicate smallpox. Rare.

The type who run when things get difficult. The UN in Iraq. Common.

The type who corruptly take advantage of most any situation, often for sex. UN peacekeepers in Africa. Usual.

The bureaucrats and leaders who would never actually get their hands dirty but who collect their corruption tax anyway, or who allow their kids to collect. Kofi Annan, every organization in the UN headquarters except for the tour guides and postage stamp sellers. Ubiquitous.

#8 Don't forget the Vampire Vulture Elite. These are the ones who rush into a disaster area (in about 5 weeks - once 5-star hotels and 24-hour catering have been restored) to take credit for others work and then gorge themselves on the 'emergency funds' which others have generously provided to those poor bastards who were hit hiy by the original disaster and then by the Vampire Vulture Elite....

Or rush off to a 'conference' in some exotic location on their private jets in order to condemn us poor working slobs for driving our little cars to the grocery story once a week.
