#1 the first time the U.N. agency has used its own ship to deliver aid in the disaster.

Ok. So how long is it since the Disaster? Almost 4 weeks? And now they are fully prepared to take credit for what others have done....

#2 This is great! Now we can pull out our personnel, and allow the affected countries to make their own comparisons between the responses as to efficiency. Needless to say, the matter of timeliness has already been settled.

#3 BAR - except by the end of 2005 when they are doing all the 'year in review' shows Dan Rather and the MSM will be telling now the Koffi and the UN were so quick to respond to the disaster rushing tons and tons of ai to the areas within days of the disaster while the Lincoln made a mere 'showing of the flag'....

Mark my words they will start spinning it in that direction by March, April at the latest....

#5 So who has been delivering relief supplies for the last month? Could it have been those cheap ass Americans, Australians, and Indians?

#7 People always complain about the US spending too much money on hotels and lunches, but the UN's stragegy would have been much more cost effective overall, in the long run.

#9 By waiting a full month to deliver supplies to the desperate, it would have assured far fewer mouths to feed in the long run.

#14 And what does their aid relief consists of? "I support the U.N." bumper stickers, pet rocks, cans of dehydrated water, ping pong balls, swizzle sticks, remaindered "We Are The World" music CDs, and 50,000 copies of the Kyoto Treaty on Global Warming.

Danny can put one hell of an artificial shine on the UN, but the blogosphere is more than a match for bullshit. The days of the MSM being largely unchallenged are over.
