I can’t be certain, but I get the sense this may be a rhetorical question.
All’s I know is, I make a point never to trust anyone associated with the UN — unless he happens to have a scotch-swigging super mustache that, if you can believe the rumors, once pleasured three Swedish flight attendants at once while simultaneously finishing off the draft of a speech and playing Texas Hold ‘Em on his Blackberry.
All while wearing a satin smoking jacket and a pair of Sinatra slippers.

When Bolton said his mustache “needed a little trim” he was not freaking kidding.

Why not both? Following Kofi’s lead, he could be a willfully ignorant person who lies when cornered.

I think Major John hit the answer head on. Why limit it to when when they have proven to be capable of both?

You’re damn lucky Jeane Kirkpatrick isn’t around to kick your ass, that’s all I have to say.
Kirkpatrick once said, “What takes place in the Security Council more closely resembles a mugging than either a political debate or an effort at problem-solving.”
As I read the utopian socialists, the scientific socialists, the German Social Democrats and revolutionary socialists  whatever I could in either English or French  I came to the conclusion that almost all of them, including my grandfather, were engaged in an effort to change human nature. The more I thought about it, the more I thought this was not likely to be a successful effort. So I turned my attention more and more to political philosophy and less and less to socialist activism of any kind

El-Baradei is anti-American in the most literal sense of the term is all.

You malign me. It was stud poker, of course

ElBaradei is sounding rather shrill, no? That’s interesting, and it reminds everybody that he hasn’t been entrusted with any actual power.

“Last Tuesday, Oct. 23, the Syrian ambassador to Washington Imad Mustapha was invited to address the prestigious Institute on Religion and Public Policy. In answer to a question, he acknowledged, “Syria gives North Korea wheat, oil and other products.â€Â
He declined to disclose what Syria got in return. When pressed on this point, Mustapha said in exasperation: “Stuff. We get stuff.â€Â

I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there.

“Stuff. We get stuff.”
How positively fucking hysterical was that ?

What does North Korea have to export? Funny-looking short tinpot dictators with bad hair?

North Korea has Kim Jong-Il’s massive movie collection to export.
Not that anyone would want it.
