KipWellsFan Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez took President Bush to task in front of a global summit for waging war in Iraq without U.N. consent and won rousing applause for his critique. The leftist leader told a U.N. summit on Thursday that fighting the war without U.N. authorization showed Washington did not respect the world body. He recommended moving U.N. headquarters to a country that has more regard for the organization. "There were never weapons of mass destruction but Iraq was bombed, and over U.N. objections, (it was) occupied and continues being occupied," Chavez said. Bush alleged that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction but none have been found, shattering one of his main arguments for going to war. "That's why we propose to this assembly that the United Nations leave this country, which is not respectful of the very resolutions of this assembly," Chavez said. Chavez, a close ally of Cuban leader Fidel Castro, suggested moving U.N. headquarters New York to an international city "outside the sovereignty of any state" and said some have mentioned Jerusalem as one possibility. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/stor...96_2/?hub=World more at link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I wonder how much crossover there is between the "Get the US out of the UN" crowd and the Pat Robertson viewership crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
