#1 the only thing holding al-Qaida back from using chemical and biological weapons is its lack technical know-how.

In other words it's all a pipe-dream for these boys.

Even when people are on the list, the experts said, they have been allowed to travel and evade sanctions.

Notice that the next three countries mentioned are all on the same continent.

The expert group called on the Security Council to adopt a new resolution requiring all 191 member states to enforce sanctions.

Attaboy, you eUNuchs. You can join your EUnuch friends with their importance.

#2 Well shit, I want to experience space travel, but the only thing holding me back is technical know-how. This isn't news, we've known AQ has been trying to get NBC weps since 9/11. This is just fear-mongering crap from the lefties.

#3 Otherwise, it said the U.N. role in fighting terrorism "risks becoming marginalized."

The U.N. has an actual role in fighting terrorism? Other than dispensing a lot of hot air, just what in heaven's name could the U.N.'s "role" be?????

#4 Actually I don't think it is fear mongering. I think Kofi might have finally woke up and realized that he is a target like everyone else. What this is saying is that more needs to be done. Are you listening France, Switzerland, Italy?

#5 So let me get this straight, alQ lack the 'technical know-how' for chembio weapons even with deep pockets, bone fide scientists and state supported intelligence. But an anthrax the likes of which no one has ever seen (or will admit to seeing) was managed by some asshole with rubber gloves and a bathtub.

Belief suspended.

#6 "A UN panel of experts", huh? Anybody we know?

Kinda goes along with Kofi's supression of the "we have incompetent security" report, I guess.

#7 sure would be scary if they started collaborating with some crazy dictator with a bio-chem WMD program. you know, someone with a grudge against the US. someone immune to UN inspectors.

#8 It has been easy to travel within Western Europe for years. It would be interesting to see the UN try to tackle passport standards. Maybe require barcodes and a database of fingerprints for passport holders. There is a downside to this but it would be interesting to see Kofi try to bring about real change not aimed at busting the US in the nuts.

#9 Well, well, well, AQ threatens their wanting to rule the world, so they must be taken out.

Competition is good.

So after another 12 years and 18 resolutions, they might vote to do something. Hopefully by 2015, we'll know which way the wind is blowing.

#10 Anon - "...collaborating with some crazy dictator.."
AQ would NEVER do that! They're too pure! They would NEVER associate with someone like Saddam! Bush said they would, but he was lyyying! It's all about oiiiiily Jooooos!

#11 We should perform a scientific experiment. Let the UN go on holiday for, say, 6 months. No statements, no GA, no UNSC, no nothing, well maybe ICAO... Near the end, we should monitor average temps throughout the world, and check everything out. I will bet dollars to donuts that global warming will be stopped, corruption will be down, and the WoT progress will be greatly accellerated. And NY parking tickets issued will have a tremendous downward trend.

#12 Hopefully by 2015, we'll know which way the wind is blowing.

Hopefully by 2015:

1) The flesh on bin Laden's head will all be decomposed off of the pike he has been sitting since Nov. 2003, right next to Saddam Who's-InSane.
2) The UN enjoys their new world headquarters in Paris France, right next to the French Caliph's Palace.
3) The Baghdad University Flying Carpets women's college basketball team gets to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tourney. The team is housed in the fancy renovated hotel at the UN building in New York.
4) Tony Blair, executive director of the 10 year old United Democratic Nations, gives a speech asking for the liberation of Europe from Islamists and socialists.

#13 Badanov: Don't forget about the golden statue of Bush in Firdos Square with the plaque reading "Boosh the Liberator - Eternal Friend of the Iraqi People", right next to the monument to the coalition soldiers who died in the Great Year 2003.

#14 The UN must immediately form a team of inspectors to disarm al Qaida and halt their weapons program. They should avoid this RUSH TO WAR at all costs. Diplomacy is the solution - military action should be the LAST RESORT.

#15 Anon, you mean someone like Iran or the NorKs?
(I actually slept a little better after we took Baghad. I know we're still fighting, but it was bliss knowing that one member of the Axis of Evil had been taken care of!)
