Israel, and the superpowers Palau and The Marshall Islands voted with the US.

With allies like these we are unconquerable. Bwahahahahahaha.

7. Amazing isn't it.. New shit is hitting the fan daily

I kept saying to all the naysayers that the Fitz indictment was going to be the first hole in the dam, and now I smugly sit back and watch as the neo's are quickly running out of fingers with which to plug leaks. It's hilarious, you have the hard cores plugging leaks and the rest of the spineless repugs standing at the bottom of the dam opening their umbrellas.

5. Correction: Micronesia abstained.

The actual count was:

Voting "no" were the United States, Israel, Palau and the Marshall Islands. Micronesia abstained and El Salvador, Iraq, Nicaragua and Morocco did not vote. Last year the vote was 179 to 4, with several countries not voting at all.

12. Guess it's a good thing

for the evil * regime that the General Assembly is absolutley powerless, and that only American votes count in American elections.

Damn George Bush, anyway.

14. Why does Cuba need to trade with the US?

I'm sure that the other 182 countries can provide all that they need.

15. If Diebold tallied the results, the only "No" vote would be France

I guarantee it.
