Typical Bush

Bush's UN Speech had little about his favorite topic, browbeating strawmen into invasion opportunities.

But it wasn't for lack of lies and hypocrisy.

For example,

"...[T]he United Nations must answer this challenge to conscience, and live up to its promise to promptly deploy peacekeeping forces to Darfur."

How that is to be paid for by an organization that can't just pretend it doesn't have debt (like the Bush Administration treats the Iraq-War funding) is a mystery. This is especially true considering the Bush Administration's budget proposal underfunds it's U.N. funding obligations for PEACEKEEPING by $1 Billion.

This is a failure in regards to Darfur that our punditry never notices when it hails Bush for mouthing nice words about Darfur.

And then, there is this:

"[T]he mission of the United Nations requires liberating people from hunger and disease. Article 25 of the Universal Declaration states: "Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food and clothing and housing and medical care." Around the world, the United Nations is carrying out noble efforts to live up to these words."

The gross hypocrisy of Bush stating this as he threatens to veto a domestic measure to provide those minimum requirements to millions of American Children is stupifying ...i.e. par for the course from Bush.
