Obviously they know better what is happening in the tsunmai relief effort. But this letter from someone on the USS Lincoln Carrier is oh so telling about the perfidity of the UN and many of their "relief workers". You just knew it would be like this didn't you?

Excerpt:
As I went through the breakfast line, I overheard one of the U.N. strap-hangers, a longhaired guy with a beard, make a sarcastic comment to one of our food servers. He said something along the lines of “Nice china, really makes me feel special,” in reference to the fact that we were eating off of paper plates that day. It was all I could do to keep from jerking him off his feet and choking him, because I knew that the reason we were eating off paper plates was to save dishwashing water so that we would have more water to send ashore and save lives. That plus the fact that he had no business being there in the first place.

There's more too, cause guess whose paying for these a$$holes? Yup - you and I the American taxpayer. It isn't enough that most of our military is underpaid and most of the UN is overpaid but then our dollars go to these insufferable pukes.

Then of course we have that icon of truth and accountability:
In addition to the relief workers, we routinely get tasked with hauling around reporters and various low-level “VIPs,” which further wastes valuable helo lift that could be used to carry supplies. We had to dedicate two helos and a C-2 cargo plane for America-hater Dan Rather and his entourage of door holders and briefcase carriers from CBS News. Another camera crew was from MTV. I doubt if we’ll get any good PR from them, since the cable channel is banned in Muslim countries. We also had to dedicate a helo and crew to fly around the vice mayor of Phoenix, Ariz., one day. Everyone wants in on the action.

Oh yes, this letter is a gem. Don't miss it!
