Quote of the Day
- NewsMax (via Young Pundit)
If you think of it from Annan's perspective, the UN oil-for-food program was successful. His son got rich, the UN didn't have to act against a dictator who defied a UN resolution, some member nations got rich, a couple of the UN Security Council nations were bribed so they would vote to keep Saddam in power, etc. Unfortunately for every other nation and person who didn't recieve the benefits of the program, including the Iraqi people, it was a complete failure and will be the undoing of the justification of the United Nations.

"It was a unique scheme," Annan told ABC's "This Week." "Yes, there may have been some corruption. There may have been some mismanagement. But the program achieved its results."

And the UN isn't yet in Southern Asia either whereas the United States is all over it, several thousand marines, planes full of supplies, helicopters, hospitals and a 200 bed hospital will be built by the United States. From us alone, not just the government, funds from Americans is astronomical because that is the way WE are when it comes to disasters.
Jeb Bush is on his way to that area now, not just as the President's brother but because he's been hit in his state and been through these kinds of catastrophe's except this one goes in the records books.
Many bodies have yet to be recovered under all the rubble.
