Well, the United Nations is on the verge of declaring the United States’ use of Predator drones to kill terrorists a “war crime” because it doesn’t give the bad guys……

There are two interrelated situations unfolding in the world today, two dilemmas that are threatening to put President Obama to what may be the greatest challenges he has yet faced……

“Look, it’s Obama — call the ICC stat!”

of course lobbing grenades on bottle rockets in descriminantly into Israel doesnt get much of a notice

Nice to know our tax dollars put savages in suits

Yeah, I too remember the Bircher “Get US out of the UN” signs from the 60s.

“Get the UN out of the US” would be th 21st century version.

I say we let the UN have their way. If they want them arrested, then they should go arrest them. If they’re unhappy with how we’re handling it, then let them step up. But, they must get the job done. All US funding of the UN would be contingent on the successful arrest and prosecution of all terrorists, worldwide. Until they can do that, no US $.dcman98 on October 28, 2009 at 1:21 PM

UN calls missile strikes “summary executions”
As it happens, the US is not the only entity turning towards a
law-enforcement model in the war on terror. The UN has taken that
approach as well, perhaps to a reductio ad absurdum……

Appeasement doesn’t generally work because it simply leads to more conflict.

And usually greater destructive forces are used.

This war is not helping Americans one bit. It is only hurting us. Our troops are being killed for no reason and the military industrial complex is making trillions on it.

For all of you who don’t know this:

The U.S. military is spending $400 per GALLON of fuel in afghanistan! Yes $400 per gallon!

This amounts to over $320 MILLION PER DAY!

Only a country totally out of control with spending and with FRAUD and corruption would waste resources like this!

Got a link for this one, Max?

You don’t believe me CS?

I always and only say the facts.

http://digg.com/world_news/US_Military_Pays_400_A_Gallon_For_Fuel_In_Afghanistan

Yes the military is spending $400 per GALLON or $320 MILLION + per DAY on fuel in Afghanistan!

Fraud and corruption dominate.

I say surround the building, frog march them all to the nearest airport, give them a one-way ticket back to where ever the hell they came from, and let them go back and stand around and urinate in their own drinking water, just like the folks back home are doing now.

Why, oh why, couldn’t the 9/11ers have chosen the UN building instead?GnuBreed on October 28, 2009 at 10:56 AM

Why would they attack their allies?

It’s a typical flaw in the minds of a Californian.

It’s a flaw in the Biden plan, for sure.

AnninCA on October 28, 2009 at 11:35 AM

LOL, “a” flaw Ann? Without boots on the ground giving confidence to the locals, we do not recieve intelligence. Without intelligence, the drones are next to useless. Biden is a fool, and should not be allowed within 50 miles of anything related to military strategy.

Would an arrest be considered a mugging?

No, actually they would more likely cinsider it kidnapping.

It’s a flaw in the Biden plan, for sure.

If the UN was concerned about non combatants being killed they would put their efforts into demanding the Taliban and AQ wear uniforms.

But they already do. Every time the Americans show up, they put on their burkas.

I wonder how long it will take for Obama to now arrest CIA officers as international war criminals (H/T Hotair):
US drone strikes against suspected terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan could be breaking international laws against summary executions, …
