#2 Oh Gawd, If the UN gets involved the only certain thing is The UN Graft will triple, the foodstuffs will be extremely scarce, and starvation is absolutely going to happen.

When Africa is De-Populated can we then call "Racism" or is the simple fact the UN is involved prevent that Charge, until the population is eliminated. (Then of course, charges of "Racism" are not possible, there's NO black race in Africa to claim "Racism" about)

Pessimistic? Damn right I am, is ther ANYTHING the UN has NOT screwed up and bribed to death?

(Semi-Serious Question, I haven't heard ANYTHING good about the UN, Have you?)

#4 Well, if the past is any indication their solution will involve trading oil or sex for food.

#5 Well gee I can rest now. Food crisis will be avoided now that all the hungry people are guaranteed to starve and we won't have a food shortage then.

#6 Lock them in a cage with their Global Human Warming apparatchiks for a death match. Who ever exits gets next year's funding. Don't forget to get the pay for view money either.

#8 Commodities shortages are from hedging on futures in Chicago. I smell Soros' and other billionaire speculators trying to create a new crisis now the Oil-for-Food a boondoggle.

The one and only thing the Useless Nitwits ever did that was worth a damn was the eradication of smallpox in nature, spearheaded by WHO (part of the UN, IIUC).

But that was before the PC era - it wouldn't be possible now. >:-(

#10 That ethanol thing is really working out well. How about methanol you idiots?

If some engineer ever figured out how to power cars with t-bone steaks, a government program to subsidize it would follow shortly.

#11 Does this mean we'll see a "Food for food" scandal?

#12 Since the NET is already discussing the utility of NORTHERN AFRICA = SAHARA DESERT as per SOLAR-WIND ENERGY, might as well also discuss proposals for OWG AGRI-ZONES/ENERGY ZONES AS PER THE GREATER OWG AFRICAZONE??? Add to other PRE-9-11 schemes for CULTURAL-ANTHROPOLOGICAL TOURISM.
