#1 He expressed frustration that U.N. members have not been able to reach agreement on what needs to be done about the Syrian situation.

Yeah, good luck with that. If you look at a list of the member nations of the UN, you see that roughly half of them are run by villains, thugs and miscreants of various stripes. To paraphrase Pastor Niemoller:

"When they came for the rat-bag dictators, I said nothing because... hey, wait! I am a rat-bag dictator. No way do I want a part of this. I could be next."

But then this is the UN and we ALL know they don't want real answers, they want people to give them money so they can "study" the problem, in their hotel room, with hookers, small children and lots and lots of drugs.
