Susan Rice is confused about international law and North Korea!

It's strange enough that the Obama Administration is hyping last week's toothless statement by the United Nations Security Council condemning North Korea's recent rocket launch. Even more amazing, it says the U.N. move is "legally binding" on member states.

Those were the words used by Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., and repeated by a State Department spokesman. Ms. Rice is badly misinformed. As she ought to know, a "presidential statement" issued by the Security Council is legally binding on no one.

Russia Invades Georgia -- Where are the protests from the anti-war crowd?

Shades of Hungary 1956, the Czech Prague Spring 1968...Russian tanks have rolled into the breakaway Republic of Georgia to encourage the separatist province of South Ossetia in it's secession. The Russians said they were provoked. So did Hitler when he invaded Poland in 1939.

The question is did Putin and the Russians grovel before the U.N. before taking this pre-emptive action? Our crack staff at the Neville Awards combed the wireservices, the internet, the newspapers and, shock of shocks, we couldn't find anything that passed John Kerry's 2004 'Global Test'. The Russians just did it...world opinion be damned.

The U.N. Security Council did meet after the attack, and typically, couldn't agree that they were in the city of New York, or whether the genocide in Darfur was actually genocide. Then they realized they were supposed to be talking about the Russians so they adjourned and went home.

And where is Code Pink, ANSWER, MoveOn, Daily Kos and all of the other Leftist losers expressing their "righteous indignation" over the attack. UHHH, nowhere. Because Georgia is a U.S. ally these Communist, leftist and socialist groups are, no doubt, privately rooting for their fav ex-commies to prevail.

No doubt they will blame George Bush for the attack saying he provoked the Russians by providing military assistance to the Georgians.

Remember, the Left in America didn't want U.S. involvement in World War II until Nazi Germany reneged on the Stalin-Hitler Non-Aggression pact and attacked Russia...after Russia and Germany had carved up Poland.
