The UN.......we paid up.....what now?

THIS fascinated me.   America's owed the UN money for years........and, last year, the Democrat Congress paid our dues and paid back-dues, also. During our financial crisis.  Now, when all we've got is constant nightmares from the UN like Iran being on Human Rights commissions, like the UN blaming us for anything they can get their hands on, etc.

Here's a clip from the excellent link:  "Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs committee, is seeking cuts and has introduced a bill intended to pressure the United Nations to change the way it operates and to make dues voluntary. She also is promising investigations into possible corruption and mismanagement.
"U.S. policy on the United Nations should be based on three fundamental questions: Are we advancing American interests? Are we upholding American values? Are we being responsible stewards of American taxpayer dollars?" she said in a statement that was read at the briefing, which she could not attend. "Unfortunately, right now, the answer to all three questions is `No.'  (Z; wait, let me just read that again before I continue with my post, it feels so good for a change.....Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, you ROCK.)

 
What do YOU think?  Think we should have paid the UN off?  Think we should have investigations into "possible corruption" and "mismanagement"?  Um. I knew Benon Sevan and he's now hiding from corruption charges in his home country of Cyprus.  He's very small potatoes compared to what Republicans could uncover, VERY small potatoes.  Imagine what else they'll find?


When THIS happens, you know the UN is corrupt .......oh, and insane.And, now, they're richer.  Thanks to us.
