"Quick we have visitors, bring out the Good Korean"

I've always considered the UN to be one of those international bodies created for when the Aliens come and humanity pretends to have unified global government.

Right now, the UN Security Council is really... redundant.

The answer to the UN Gaza cease fire resolution have been:

#1 Israel says This? This is what you want us to do... screw you!. The shelling, bombing and fighting will continue until all objectives are achieved.
What these objectives are is a mystery; because so far Hamas hasn't stopped firing rockets and Gilad Shalit hasn't been liberated.

#2 Hamas says What? That's all?! screw you!. Rockets will continue to be fired, the tunnels that are destroyed will be re-dug and Hamas will continue to dis-acknowledge Israel's right to exist.
What exactly Hamas hopes to gain in this in unknown, since right now Hamas are just throwing everything they've got at the soldiers and across the borders.

What we have here... is a blood tinted pissing contest:
One of the contestants is pissing on the other.
The other meanwhile is trying mightily to keep a steady stream.
I leave to you to decide which is which.

The UN lost the last of its admittedly already rather shaky credibility when the US treated it with such contempt over the Iraq WoMD issue, particularly when they sent Colin Powell to flat-out lie to the security council. Not surprised its having no effect now, given how thoroughly the Americans destroyed it.

Seriously.

Best description ever. I'd post it to metaquotes if I had the time to clean 200 flames out of my inbox tomorrow.

Haha!
Wouldn't mind seeing it on Metaquotes :P

If you do end up doing so, you have my permission, obviously.

Prepare for a possible onslaught.

Will track the post so that we may share the load ;)

Oh, over from metaquotes.

The general situation pisses me off, but eh.
This made me laugh out loud.
=D
