Ambassador Bolton...Hot On Their Trail...

New York Post Online Edition: postopinion

August 19, 2005 -- It looks like Ambassador John Bolton got to the United Nations just in the nick of time.

America's new representative at the world body says he wants to get to the bottom of the "inappropriate and unacceptable" use of U.N. money to finance a propaganda campaign by the Palestinian Authority promising the "liberation" of the West Bank and Jerusalem following Israel's pullout from Gaza.

A spokesman for the United Nations Development Project swears his agency is "taking this matter seriously."

Really?

Officials at the UNDP really need to coordinate their official stories.
The uproar erupted over a banner carried at one of several Palestinian rallies Sunday celebrating the Gaza withdrawal and trying to portray it as an Arab victory. The huge sign carried the slogan "Gaza today, the West Bank and Jerusalem tomorrow" — and included a tag saying it had been paid for by the UNDP.

It quickly emerged that the banner was just one component in a U.N.-funded propaganda barrage — which also included bumper stickers, coffee mugs and t-shirts bearing both the slogan and the UNDP logo.

In a letter to the American Jewish Congress, UNDP Administrator Kemal Davis admitted that his agency's funds had been misused for "political messaging," adding that the content of the campaign was "the responsibility of the [Palestinian Authority]."

Problem is, the UNDP doesn't have any problem with the campaign's provocative slogan.
Indeed, agency representative Timothy Rothermel actually defended the slogan, telling Fox News it is "consistent with the relevant U.N. resolutions and Security Council resolutions about the status of Palestine."

It's no such thing, of course.

The West Bank and Jerusalem remain disputed territory whose final status is to be determined by negotiations, according to international law and Security Council Resolution 242, adopted after the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.

What the slogan is consistent with is the anti-Israeli mindset at the United Nations, many of whose members have long devoted much of their time to the elimination of Israel as a Jewish state and the "liberation" not only of the West Bank and Jerusalem, but also of Tel Aviv and Haifa.

Ambassador Bolton, of course, was the man who — more than anyone else — forced through the rescinding of the United Nations' infamous "Zionism is racism" resolution. So, as he begins his tenure at Kofi Annan's ideological three-ring circus, the UNDP has handed him the prefect issue on which to start making his presence immediately felt.

Go get-'em, Johnny. And remember...any of those thugs, killers, pedophiles, or mass-murderers give you any hassle...there's a big river close at hand. Deep, too.

The UN is of course a liberal playground where defective adults go to play their games of world domination, then run to their collective sanctuaries to hide under the bed when the going gets tough. Describes liberals everywhere, and you can now understand why the loonie left hated the prospect of Bolton representing the US.

A grown up has arrived, one with a no-nonsense attitude towards racism, genocide, mass-murderers and sexual deviants. All hallmarks of the leftwing United Nations, and it makes it hard for our moonbats to have a latte with these fella's when someone is running roughshod over them for their crimes.

Good Story? Yes. JUST TRY LOOKING FOR IT IN A LIBERAL RAGFEST.

DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER
