I can only assume that her real job is to play on her publicly close ties to George W. Bush in the hope that anybody she wants to meet with will [do so] because she has the President's ear.

Those of us speaking about it sort of routinely referred to the protection of Israel as a component. But this is a very good piece of evidence of that.

That was foreseen by many of us 10 years ago when the issue popped up, and again in 2004-2005 when the question returned to the top of the U.N.'s agenda.

With the exception of the usual additions of two tiny dependent island-states, the United States and Israel stand alone in defying virtually the entire world's support for the new Human Rights Council.

The recent attacks on the secretary-general, easier to attack than the institution as a whole, have little to do with the actual (and quite limited) instances of corrupt activities in the secretariat, and everything to do with Annan's statement that the U.S. war in Iraq was illegal and the organisation's refusal to endorse the U.S.-UK invasion, ... Calling the Shots: How Washington Dominates Today's U.N.
