According to Barak Obama, we would be better served sending in the “internationalist” UN forces to take over Iraq.
Yup, nothing like a few rapists squads to get things together.
“The United Nations said on Saturday it had suspended a Moroccan military contingent from its peacekeeping mission in Cote d’Ivoire while it investigated allegations of widespread sexual abuse.
Moroccan U.N. peacekeepers stop a bus near Bouake, Cote d’Ivoire, in March.
“It means they don’t participate in our operations,” said Hamadoun Toure, spokesman for the U.N. mission in Cote d’Ivoire (ONUCI). “Those who are found guilty will be sent back home.”
The world body said the measure was in addition to a decision to confine the entire battalion of 734 soldiers to barracks.
U.N. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said on Friday the investigation involved Moroccan soldiers having sex with a large number of underage girls in the West African country’s northern rebel stronghold of Bouake.
Toure said the allegations had come to light after the mission ran a campaign against sexual exploitation in which it asked local people to inform it about abuses. It then sent a team to carry out interviews and gather information.”
Yeah, not the first time UN peacekeepers have been involved in such crimes. So the question to Mr. Obama, do you support the raping of innocents over the professionalism of our troops to stablize Iraq?
Of course the question is ridiculous, but no more ridiculous than his off the top of his head stupid answers to this country’s issues.
