#1 The United States didn't have authorization from the U.N. nuclear watchdog when it secretly shipped from Iraq uranium and highly radioactive material that could be used in so-called "dirty bombs," U.N. officials said Wednesday.

... egad! And we were to have left it from THEM?! *scoff*

#3 Um, the UN can take a flying leap into the outhouse. We don't /need/ their permission to do a damn thing. They however, need our permission to exist.

#5 I say give it back to the UN.

Finely ground, in a dust.

Sprinkled into the air conditioning system at the UN buildings in NY.

#6 The u.n. is as useless as tits on a boar hog. They try to act like they actually matter. Too bad the u.n. wasn't a target on 9/11. FUCK THE u.n., fuck 'em all....

#7 I used to think SA, Pete. But Iran will do. Any place that strict islamic culture is practiced.

You know, Pete, I've thought the same thing.

#9 The more I see and read about the UN, the more I think it is more than time to pull the funding plug and the "you can use our boys" plug. Oh, and by the way, we will be charging you for the use of our high-value real estate. 8 million a month sound good? If it don't we evict your ass baby!

#10 We did not issue authorization for U.N. crooks to make a fortune of Saddam's & the U.N'S 'oil for (terrorism, arms & profit)'

Neither did we give the OK for the U.N. to scam the world with their little anti-American Hans Blix doctoring reports and ignoring hard facts that he was well aware of, such as Saddam trucking his WMD into Syria just prior to the Iraqi ground war began.

The U.N. complex on the East Side should be converted into a hotel/convention center/resort for Americans, not every two-bit spy using the building as diplomatic cover.

#11 "never sought authorization"blow it out your ass,Gus.
"U.S. nuclear authorities said late Wednesday they had Iraqi approval and didn't need U.N. authorization to move the material",I reiterate,Gus,blow it out your ass.

#12 Do you suppose that means the UN inspectors will demand access to the US? Will the Security Council express strong disapproval? Will they--shudder! perish the thought!--impose sanctions?

Ooooh, I'm scared.

#14 Good ones, Mark!

Maybe the UN wanted some of it for its own nefarious purposes-you know how they are always going off about weak versus strong countries and the ever growing gap between them? Maybe this is their way of evening the odds? That's about where my opinion of the UN is today.

#16 Does the un even know how stupid they sounds? This is what happens when you put a bunch of 3rd-world socialists hillbillies in charge of a organization. Problem is that these adminstrators are appointed by people who should know better. please give me a candidate that will kick the whole bunch out of here and deny funding for any furture hate-America organization that spawns in it's place.

#19 Michael, "does anyone actually care?" Watch the sunday morning news shows for the answer. Maybe your question would be better if posed 2 different ways: Does anyone at the NYT/ABC/BBC... care? OR: Does anyone with common sense care?

Chicago Michael

P.S. Let's see if UNSC issues an urgent resolution imploring US cooperation in this matter. Then let's act like Iran.

#25 This is part of the grand charade in which the IAEA pretends that it is an effective and relevant organization. I guess they're upset because we wouldn't enable the delusion.

Actually they're doing SUCH a good job with Iran and North Korea and Egypt and ....... that they thought that we would naturally want them to do the same in Iraq.

#27 I don't want the UN to leave the USA, I just want the USA to leave the UN. I want the USA to start pulling all US Troops out of country's that are under a UN action. I want the USA to work on it's own group of country's that would rather work with us than against us. Set the Building up right next to the current UN building and see how long it takes before the UN building becomes empty...or is it already empty.
