UN Lowers Flags to Half Staff for Kim Jong Il Funeral

Last week the UN General Assembly held a moment of silence for North Korea’s Kim Jong Il (it’s over, you can start talking again, Jimmy). On Wednesday, in spite of the dictator’s abhorrent human rights record, the UN went a step further:

(Reuters) – U.N. offices around the world lowered their flags to half-staff to mark the funeral of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il on Wednesday in a move the world body said was routine but which prompted objections from some human rights activists.

In New York, where the flag outside U.N. headquarters was lowered, spokesman Eduardo del Buey said the gesture had been requested by Pyongyang’s U.N. mission but was normal for the funeral of any head of state.

“It’s a matter of protocol,” he said.

North Korea is a full member of the 193-nation organization.

But UN Watch, a Geneva-based advocacy group, said the U.N. human rights message was “at serious risk of being blurred today” because of the honoring of Kim, who died on December 17.

“Today should be a time for the U.N. to show solidarity with the victims – the millions of North Koreans brutalized by Kim’s merciless policies of starvation, torture and oppression – and not with the perpetrator,” the group’s executive director, Hillel Neuer, said in a statement.

Maybe one of the things about Kim Jong Il’s tenure that appealed to the appease-o-crats and Goracle-worshipping carbon credit dealers at the UN was his refusal to go overboard on the use of planet-destroying electricity:

As for the funeral procession, the crowd lining the streets of Pyongyang was stricken with mandated grief, not unlike many at the protocol-rich, common sense-deprived United Nations:

    Douglas MacArthur had the right plan during the Korean “Police Action” (aka WAR). When the Red Chinese Army was massing on the far side of the Yalu River and border–hit them with the nukes and finish off with a grand slam WW2 style victory.
    ***
    Too bad President Harry Truman (D) fired him–instead of smoking the enemy. The net result has been 60+ years of enslavement in the Gulags for the North Korean people. Eating bark and grass to stay (kindov!) alive. Kidnapping Japanese men, women, and children for some weird spy plans. Murdering our Army personnel with axes in the “Demilitarized” Zone. Sinking a South Korean ship. Shelling civilian cities. Sending raiding parties to kill civilians at will. Without any immediate payback–or any buckwheats at all.
    ***
    The worthless U.N. backing of these Hitler / Mao / Stalin / Pol Pot murderers. Get the U.N. out of the U.S. and stop funding it. Our second worst president–Jimmy Carter–cutting side deals with them. Bubba Clinton enabling the Nork nuclear program–what’s the problem in sending them some reactors? The U.S. forced to have tens of thousands of soldiers there to act as “speed bumps” when the final attack comes from the North.
    ***
    If Korean War II starts–nuke their military capabilities, communist elite, and infrastructure out of existence. Then do a WW2 Berlin type sweep of the survivors to finish removing the communist reminent still alive. No U.N. help needed.

    According to the UN, neither was considered a head of state at the time of their deaths. No half-staff.

    I don’t recall any UN resolution removing Gaddafi from power. But who knows.

    So the UN unrolls their quilted Charmin and flies it up a pole for their beloved genocide despot friend.

    Remember the Serbs stripping the Dutch UN “soldiers” down to their skivvies and running them out of town? They never fired a shot. No honorable military man would have bent over like that. Of course the Dutch were among the first in Europe to gay-up.

    This is the same military the Democrats are fashioning for us as we speak. The new president needs to clean house at the Pentagon to at least counter some of it.

    What’s the big deal. This is what they do for all revered leaders. They had a moment of silence and lowered flags to half mast when the actual great leader and decent human being Vaclav Havel (who freed his people from Soviet oppression) died, so now they have to do it for the little sleeze monster, too, or vicious dictators around the world will be miffed.

    What? They did not do those things when Havel died?

    ………

    Never mind.

    ………

    The UN is utterly despicable. The peace after WWII compared to the disintegration of the peace after WWI had absolutely nothing to do with there being a UN after WWII. It has been American power and American courage and American lives that have kept the peace, with some help from a few of our allies.

    Doug your picture of the free Souths ACTIVITY as shown by the lights on at night taken by a satelite and the one single dot of light that is Pyong Yang in the north speaks volumes as to whether communism or capitalism works best. The north may as well be the ocean, with an island that is the capital where all the Kim cronys are allowed to live. Any one who has ever been to Korea knows that by giving money, food, or aid to N Korea is simply enabling Kim to feed, pay, and aid his army and cronys. The only way to rid the planet of this parasytic dictator is to encourage a Korean spring by NOT feeding his army, not clothing his army, and not aiding his army. If the U.S. is planning on parachute drops of food and aid into all those dark regions of N Korea, then maybe that aid will help the people, but 60 years of negotiations and aid going to Pyong Yang should have convinced even the dumbest diplomats that that is a loser.

    HI RED_DOG–#25. Yes–”blue helmet” U.N. soldiers are usually a joke. Far overpaid, and without any real supply lines, leaders, rational rules of engagement, or purpose.
    ***
    However, I don’t think that “gayness” has much to do with their failures. Many “gay” soldiers have served bravely and honorably in the U.S. Military. Far stronger and better organized fighting forces than U.N. “temporary help” troops. And my guess is that the 2 percent? “gay” or “lesbian” people exist in all walks of life. And that we usually don’t know who is who–or what.

    My guess is that 1000 U.S. Marines would have prevented the genocide in Rwanda–if they were given reasonable rules of engagement. And that 100,000 U.N. Soldiers couldn’t / wouldn’t have been able to do the job. They watched and fled instead of stopping / shooting the murderous mobs.

    Here is a great story of patriotism:

    This is the eight-year-old boy from Georgia who spends his weekends going to the airport to thank troops for protecting his country.
    Selfless Cody Jackson chooses to skip playing games with other children to welcome home the soldiers arriving at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
    ‘I tell them thank you for protecting us,’ said Cody, who salutes and shakes hands with anyone wearing uniform – while dressed in a smaller version of their camouflage gear.

    ‘They’re risking their lives, they’re fighting for us, our freedom and our country,’ he told Fox News.

    Cody’s habit began in Walmart stores, where he would approach officers while out shopping with his mother.
    After a while, the kindhearted youngster realised how many troops came through his local airport, and decided to go there armed with candy to give to them.
    ‘He always salutes and says, “thank you for your service”,’ said one female soldier. ‘He is so cute.’

    But Cody’s mother Kelly insists it was all his idea. ‘It started in Walmart,’ she said.

    ‘It would take forever to get out, because of all the veterans and soldiers you’d see in a Walmart.
    ‘He walked through an airport one day and saw all the soldiers – and there’s the military section there with all the guys going through – and it just turned into a tradition.’
    The soldiers are now accustomed to being greeted by the familiar sight of the smiling gap-toothed boy as they alight from their planes home.
    One said: ‘It’s great, I like to see that, it’s wonderful.’
    Cody now plans to serve in the army when he is older, as his grandfather did before him.

    Well, I guess the North Koreans never got the word regarding the Cash for Clunkers Program.

    Now Flyoverman what ever do you think that Obama actually did with all those cars? I am starting to think that he gave them as gifts to heads of states. Makes you wonder what Hugo Chavez is now driving.

    O/T….Obama admin sets up hotline for illegals to contact if they are caught by State or Local law enforcement agencies:

    As states across the nation ramp up their efforts to catch illegal immigrants, the Obama administration on Thursday launched a new free hotline for people busted on violations to get help.

    The hotline, run by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is available 24/7 for detained individuals to phone if they think they “may be U.S. citizens or victims of a crime.”

    Don’t hold your breath waiting for Romney, Gingrich or the others to speak out. Republicans are above the fray. They are not Obama and that’s all that matters.

    The real question is why is North Korea a full member of the UN? If they are a full member, then his death should be treated with respect. They respect the country enough to allow them in, you have to respect the leader. There are many other “bad” countries, dictatorships, thugocracies, mullahocracies, and monarchs allowed in. It’s like a den of thieves or that bar in Star Wars.

    Except Romney has already spoken out against illegal immigration already (I guess you missed it). Of course Romeny could easily flip flop on this issue as well.

    I first read that as Obama set up hotline for people to turn in illegals. I thought that was strange for him. Now I get it.

    Not sure where you get your info Phil, but Numbers USA has him listed as just the opposite on Amnesty.

    Look, I am not a big fan of Romney, but I also believe in setting the record straight when it is being missrepresented. Their are only two people who are listed as either ok (romney) or good (Bachman) on immigration. And I tend to trust numbers USA’s ratings as they have been pretty close to the mark from what I have seen.
