Just 2 hours ago, allied air forces began an attack on military targets in Iraq and Kuwait. These attacks continue as I speak. Ground forces are not engaged.
This conflict started August 2nd when the dictator of Iraq invaded a small and helpless neighbor. Kuwait -- a member of the Arab League and a member of the United Nations -- was crushed; its people, brutalized. Five months ago, Saddam Hussein started this cruel war against Kuwait. Tonight, the battle has been joined.
This military action, taken in accord with United Nations resolutions and with the consent of the United States Congress, follows months of constant and virtually endless diplomatic activity on the part of the United Nations, the United States, and many, many other countries.
When we are successful -- and we will be -- we have a real chance at this new world order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the U.N.'s founders.
George Bush - January 16, 1991
I aint got the time to dig up all the stuff George Bush's son did to empower the UN, this would actually be a huge topic.
If anyone cares simply search "Bush, CFR, United Nations"
UNESCO and George Bush is another great search. Reagan got us out, Bush put us back in.
I wont ignore what I posted though and I do have much on this topic, I just dont have the time at this moment. Maybe I will look for another thread on the subject
