The United Nations has been a total farce for several years. Was it the UN that set up the "coalition forces" during the original Gulf War?
NOPE! The UN did, however, print the "sanction" that President Bush #41 adhered to, by not rolling into Baghdad and destroying Saddam! Then, the UN issued a total of 17 "sanctions" against Saddam, threatening him with "severe and harsh penalties" if he didn't comply.....BUT, at the same time, the UN had set up the "oil for food" program with Saddam, which proved to be a VERY profitable program for numerous UN officials! Then, when President Bush #43 approached the UN for the purpose of finding out what their "severe and harsh penalties" consisted of, since Saddam had NOT complied with any of those "sanctions", the UN didn't want their "money making machine" in Iraq to end. President Bush #43 chose to form ANOTHER coalition of forces to deal with Saddam....and believe it or not, there were MORE countries involved in that second coalition than there had been in the FIRST Gulf War! It was hilarious, how the UN condemned the USA for taking on Saddam in a "unilateral" attack!
No, I'm not pleased with everything that Bush #43 has done, but by standing up AGAINST the UN was certainly a bright moment! In the long run, I truly believe that our current actions in Iraq will pay us BIG dividends in the way of security for our nation. The Iraqi war is OVER, even though the mainstream news media still calls it a "war". The "insurgency" is nothing more than terrorism being carried out against an emerging, free Islamic country! It is NOT another Vietnam, and while I mourn for all of our troops that have been killed or injured, the numbers are FAR lower than what the liberal/leftist/Democrat folks had anticipated!
