US disappointed by anti-Bush barbs at UN
US disappointed by anti-Bush barbs at UN

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - The United States expressed disappointment at barbed comments aimed at President George W. Bush at the UN General Assembly and said it damaged the United Nations.

snip...
John Bolton, the US ambassador to the United Nations, said "I think that behaviour doesn't do them any credit and it certainly doesn't benefit the United Nations."

He added: "It is not suprising and I think it is important, frankly, for people to hear this because I do think it is a reflection of what some of these people think."

"I think there is perhaps more of an inclination to vent those emotions here because they are more likely to get a positive reception," Bolton added.

snip...
"It has been one of the most shrill displays of anti-Americanism in recent years," said one ambassador on the UN Security Council to describe the speeches.

snip...
"Some leaders appear to think that Mr Bush is already a lame duck and that hunting season is open," said one diplomat in New York.

4. Who cares what disappoints a war crime nation?
Is the world supposed to praise a war crime nation?

If my country is disappointed, perhaps my country should take a real good look in the mirror.

Cause guess what America? I'm disappointed in you.

13. I'm more than disappointed.
Screaming like stuck pigs when someone speaks the truth while donning the mantle of *torture terrorists America has well-earned the contempt in which it is WIDELY held.

15. Me too...but I wanted to use the chosen word lol
You know, Karenina..my anger has turned very very cold.

I'm disgusted...because I know many of my fellow Americans will somehow rationalize this all away. Call it "America's crazy time" and claim it's "over now"..Blame it on "the times we lived in"

I'd like to be wrong

6. In other words,
our policy is hypocrisy. We can spout lies and call people names but we will not tolerate such bad behavour as calling our president names.

9. What kills me is how the MSM and the repukes were braying about
bush's "tough talk" on Tuesday. Then when somebody else gives him a taste of his own medicine it's like, "how dare they!" If you can't take it, don't dish it. Period. It's not like the attacks on bush were unprovoked.

17. When Georgie Porgie Came out to play...
Edited on Fri Sep-22-06 02:40 PM by Hubert Flottz
All the others ran away!

Edit...Georgie Porgie
puddin' and pie groped
Angela Merkel
and made her cry;
when the mean old boys boys
came out to play,
Georgie Porgie
whined for days...

22. So Mr. 'We could lose ten floors of the UN building
and no one would notice' is mad because someone is namecalling his boss in the UN. What sad irony. Zod, Bolton is a pathetic joke of a man.
