    A reputable source? What a joke. Might as well ask the Iraqi information minister what he thinks.

    But whatever. Someone stated something that attacked Bush, so much of the world will now believe it, no matter how inane and ridiculous it is. Like this absolute BS.

    why would a country like Libya be worried about the Human Rights commission?

    Because they keep getting paper cuts from opening all the strongly worded letters.

    I don't really understand why the American public looks down at the UN.

    Most Americans don't like the idea of a huge corrupt overpowered beauracracy that seems to do nothing but hold month long conferences at 5 star hotels to discuss the idea of having a conference to set the guidelines for a meeting.

    The UN is a cesspool of ineptitude and it, at the very least, needs an enema of biblical proportions.

    Or maybe we find it curious as to why countries like Libya should be appointed to head the UN Human Rights commission? Or why the only UN employee that has been fired for the Oil for Food scandal was just rehired so he could receive his full retirement benefits! That poor corrupt bastard was going to have to get a new job but now he can retire and live comfortably with money paid by you and me.

    Or how the wonderful former head of the U.N. oil-for-food program, Benon Sevan, had a mysterious $160,000 deposit into one of his accounts. When asked where it came from, he stated his aunt had just given it to him as a gift. But before they could ask the aunt in question, she miraculously fell down an elevator shaft. I mean, for fucks sake, that's a scene straight out of a f'en movie.

    They were against the use of force without convincing evidence. Turns out they were right.

    About the WMDs? Perhaps, yes.

    Over the years it has done a great job in many places.

    Where and when? Korea? That war is still going on and you've got the worlds most insane dictator running half of it. Sending strongly worded letters don't count, nor does trying to pass resolutions condemning Israel. ...in a bid to limit Saddam's power, and save hundreds of thousands of innocent lives

    Yes, they tried to, and failed. Saddam made billions during that time period in kickbacks and illegal oil deals. The only thing the sanctions hurt were the Iraqi people.

    It's not perfect, of course, but it's always ready to take on the dirty jobs that no one else wants.

    What would those be exactly? I think you're confusing the UN with NATO and/or the US.

    What also works is having the son of one of the democrat candidates go and slash all the tires on the vans that the republicans rented to bring people to the polls. He was convicted of that.

    Or in Washington state you just keep "finding" more and more votes until the Democrat governor wins. And when the margin of victory is around 120 and it's realized that there are at least 5000 invalid and illegal votes (including a number of people who voted for their recently deceased relatives (who voted democrat and have been convicted)) you just have a judge say "No big deal, the vote stands".

    Or in Michigan where there is clear, wide spread voter fraud by the local democrat candidates... oh who cares, right? Even if they did threaten to kill the person who turned them in.

    The ideal unit for that type of setup is a nice receiver. Run all your svideo, composite, component, digital audio connections to it, and then one set of video cables (composite, component, and s-video) to your TV.

    I see that the most liberal of parties opposes what is effectively Free Speech and the party which brought us the Patriot Act is advocating the it.

    Yes, who voted for the Patriot Act again? Oh... both parties? Interesting.

    The left is in full support of free speech, as long as they agree with what you're saying. If not, then you're a racist, religious zealot, homophobe, or a myriad of other terms the left uses to marginalize the speech of those it does not agree with.

    As far as this bill goes... who was against it? Oh... the MSM. Which party is beholden to the MSM? And which party does the MSM act as a organ of? It's no the ones who were in favor of this bill, that's for sure.

    Maybe you should look up the definition of "phonics".

    Hooked on Phonics would not teach you the difference between "useful" and "usefull".
