Iran ‘Imported Over £350 Million of Weapons in Three Years’
4th May 2012
Iran imported weapons worth over £350 million in the space of three years despite being the target of a United Nations arms embargo, Oxfam will disclose on Thursday.
Yeah, that U.N. is really effective. That $5 billion (22% of which is provided by the U.S.) is certainly money well spent.

They could have done more if they’d just gotten Eric Holder to help.

So now we’re blaming the UN for smuggling in the Middle East?
Why not blame them for the Somali pirates while you’re at it? And don’t forget the Wall Street Ponzi schemers.
In fact, I blame the UN for the punk down the street who plays his stupid hip-hop too loud at night. Not only that, I know that Kofi Annan is personally responsible.

Dennis, the UN is the group supposedly in charge of the sanctions. They are also the ones who think they should be in charge of almost everything else that’s going on in the world. If George W. Bush had been nominally in charge, you would be perfectly willing to believe that the smuggling was All Bush’s Fault. Why should the UN escape?
