#1 the United Nations could establish a regional office in Jordan or Cyprus
Can we get them to transfer their NY office space over there too?

#2 These are the folks that the Europeans want to oversee Iraq? WTF!

#3 Why don't they set up their headquarters in Baghdad? New York's UN building would make a nice East River hotel. And parking would be a lot easier on the Upper East without all those illegally parked Mercedes, with diplomatic plates.

He said Baghdad is still too insecure for U.N. staff to return.

And the Dim-o-Rats want to turn over Iraq's security to these ~~cowards~~ weasles? Are they nuts?

Oh, wait.... Never mind.

#5 DO you know how much it would cost to make the UN Building safe for occupancy? It doesn't have sprinklers. Heck, the cost of removing the tobacco stains would probably double the price.

#7 The Iraqis will most certainly be thrilled at the prospect of receiving more "help" from their buddies at the U.N...

#8 Everyone criticizing the U.S. for not giving the U.N. a bigger role in Iraq (i.e., all of the democratic presidential candidates) are either retarded or dishonest (or both, I suppose): How do you give more responsibility to an entity that runs away from the limited responsibility it had before?

#9 The farther away the UN is from Iraq, the better. I predict that with a UN presence in Iraq, sooner or later it will become a nexus of domestic and foreign anti-US / pro-Baathist groups.

#10 I think the UN HQ should be moved to a country where a U.N. 'Peacekeeping' operation has been sucessful.

Oh.. wait...

#11 Just as Javier Solana's recent brain fart, this is absurd fool spew.

I think that the "F**king DUH" response goes in here somewhere.

#12 I thought Mogadishu showed everbody in the world what happens to those who retreat from an attack. Does the UN think that bad guys in the Congo or Liberia don't see them running?

No sprinklers, eh? Sounds like it's time for operation " 8-year old with matches ".
