Thabo Mbeki Is So Bad….
…that he’s starting to make George W. Bush look good in comparison. At least on Sudan. From Reuters:
South Africa and Libya, backed by Russia and China, want to include a paragraph halting any ICC moves in a resolution to extend the mandate of a joint U.N.-African Union peacekeeping mission in Darfur (UNAMID), which expires on Thursday.
But the United States, France and other Western countries made it clear that they wanted to keep two issues separate. As a result, The council failed to reach any agreement.
“We have a division in the council at this point,” U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Zalmay Khalilzad told reporters. He said there was no point in linking the UNAMID mandate to any possible future indictments by the ICC.
First the ChiComs, now the Americans. If The Mbekster were a college student, he’d be hired by dorks to hang out with them so that they could look cool in comparison.
