UN Cluebat

The U.N. got hit today with a very large CluebatTM.

A huge explosion that may have been the work of a homicide bomber ripped through U.N. headquarters in Baghdad Tuesday, killing at least 20 people and injuring scores of others...."Nothing can excuse this act of unprovoked and murderous violence against men and women who went to Iraq for one purpose only: to help the Iraqi people recover their independence and sovereignty, and to rebuild their country as fast as possible, under leaders of their own choosing," U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said in a statement.

No fucking duh. It's about damn time you people got a clue. It's a shame it took something like this to wake you idiots up to what Bush has been trying to tell you all along. They're not just anti-American. They're anti-whomever is not their particular brand of radical Islam.

In a later address, Bush said the blast reflected the desperation of Saddam Hussein's followers and called the bombers "murderers."

"The terrorists that struck today again showed their contempt for the innocent. They showed their fear of progress and their hatred of peace. They're the enemies of the Iraqi people. They're the enemies of every nation that seeks to help the Iraqi people.

"The civilized world will not be intimidated and these terrorists will not determine the future of Iraq … they are testing our will, it will not be shaken."

World War began a while back....and it ain't gonna be over for a while yet.

Wanna start a pool as to how long it takes the UN to blame the US (or more specifically, the Bush administration)?

Heh.

I hope court wasn't too gruelling today. You have my sympathies.
