The Rosett Report » Awaiting Susan Rice at the UN
Word is out that President-elect Obama will nominate his close adviser, Susan Rice, as ambassador to the UN, and dignify both the institution and Rice by exalting the post to cabinet rank.
This is a trainwreck waiting to happen — the main question being whether, when the train goes off the rails, Rice will be trying to drive the UN engine, or hanging on for dear life to the caboose. Oh — and the other big question being just how much a bigger role for the UN will cost the average American, not only in terms of money tossed down the UN spiderholes, but also in terms of lives endangered, damage to the American economy, freedom curtailed, and support to those who would inflict on the U.S. the kind of carnage we have just witnessed in Bombay.
The U.N. has become nothing more than a gang of thugs and bloodsuckers devoted to siphoning money and power from the U.S., and attacking our nation in every way possible.
None of these “international bodies” have ever accomplished anything of value in even remote balance with what they have cost us. Yet everybody from George Bush to Barack Obama acts as if this particular iteration of the madness and greed of crowds is worth kowtowing to - even as the American taxpayer pays their bills.
