Really...

Battleborne.... you may be a VN vet, but I am a Lebanon vet and you don't have a fucking clue what you are talking about. There is a significant difference between an armed forward observer whose job it is to call in air strikes, and an unarmed UN military observer whose job it is to report movement of Israeli forces in the UNIFIL operation area south of the Litani river.

and when did you get back from Lebanon? Did you observe what really happened or is this spin? And yes I do have a clue about how the UN operates...they are big mouth cowards...end of story!

Tell General George Casey the UN are a bunch of cowards. You clearly don't have a clue what the UN observers do in Lebanon and how they are inherently different from forward observers. Forward observers are part of an armed force.... UN observers are unarmed and do totally different functions. I served in the UN Truce Supervision Organization with Major George Casey in 1981-82.. he took the picture of me on top of Cheops, by the way.

YOu routinely "end the story" when you don't know what you are talking about.... that is an interesting quirk.

and ya still did not state your grade... denial is so unbecomming...dontcha think?
 
why would I deny that I am a retired Navy Commander with 25 years in uniform?

why do you avoid owning up for your own misstatements?

you cute little tirade about forward observers was dead wrong. You should be a man and admit when you screw up....

"dontcha think?"
 
I made no misstatement....

I gave you my opinion based on real time experience...I'm sorry the Navy rarely got their hands dirty...well except... all respect to the Seals...worked with a few and they are super cool...Commander of Admin!
 
I got my hands pretty dirty in Lebanon.... and I can attest to the fact that there were no cowards in any of the UN OP's that stood duty in.

I was a surface warfare officer, by the way.... and never was very good at admin. But I could drop the anchor into a bucket every time.
 
Okay....

Fair enough...generally speaking the UN is a bogus organization that should be abolished....I feel sorry for any of our US troops that have to put on the sick UN symbol...that would really be embarrassing...glad I was never asked...I would have been in real trouble!
 
I actually wore the UN insignia with pride..... so did the 35 other American officers who served in UNTSO with me. We were an elite group.
 
Sorry to hear that!

I am a Bolton fan...lol... He is well aware of the Wes Clarke fiasco in Bosnia....orchestrated by non other than Madeline Halfbright!
 
the UN Truce Supervision Organization has been around since the birth of the state of Israel.... spanning many administrations... and supported by them all.
 
Well Commander...

Come up to speed this is 2006 the UN Mission was okay back in 1947...now they are nothing more than a front for socialism or to be blunt Communism...They are Akin to the ACLU!

His entire mission is to bring down the UN...enjoy your cheerleading though!

Given my choice between BushCo and the U.N., I'll take the U.N. every time.

Get used to it, boyo. Far from being the irrelevancy that the neo-cons tried so desperately to make it, the U.N. has survived intact. It is the nucleus of the End . . . of your way of life. Thank the gods!

:tongout:
 
Not!

what about the UNTSO Palestine mission is any less valid today than it was in 1948? Do you care to discuss this seriously, or will it just be oneliners from your open mike night skit at the comedy club?
 
Lol...

Ya give me a two liner then chastize me for my one and two liners! Okay here we go...I do not have faith in the aforementioned peace proposal...it is still not working 1948 forward...and it will never work....Palestine is not I repeat not a ligitiment Government much less a country...Jordan threw out the bum's as did Egypt and Lebanon...let them bring their people home and give them jobs and identity...Israel reclaimed their country in 1948 it was taken away by Islam... then after WWII the agreement was made to give them back their country...repatriation from Hitlers abomination! Palestine would do better to address their grievance with Jordan,Egypt and Lebanon...imho
