Ban must be asleep at the wheel.
Mr. Gen. Secretary, I know you’re reading this — hurry, there’s no time to waste!!
You would think with all the money Korea spent to put Ban in office they would get the Dokdo thing right….
Ah yes, some nice red meat to get the netizens going.
Oh, oh, Ban and the Vankers are asleep at the switch. Red alert!
Maybe it’s a good way to focus their energy away from anti-U.S. antics…
This looks like a job for… Bee-Man!
If you’re looking for the specific document cited by the kooky news it’s this one. (It’s a PDF doc.)
To add further insult the sea east of North Korea is the Sea of Japan, without the (East Sea) concession to VANK.
“Maybe it’s a good way to focus their energy away from anti-U.S. antics…”
You talking the UN? If so, let me say that there’s a big difference between being anti-US and being critical of the Bush administration because otherwise, most of America would be considered “anti-US.”
seouldout, that link doesn’t seem to work………

Well, Japan is the second highest donor to the United Nations… it’s no wonder the UN is leaning towards the “Japanese side”. It takes out the “united” in the “United Nations” doesn’t it?
And looking at what the UN is doing now, it’s easy to say that the UN is an ineffective organisaion. Look at UN’s obvious bias against the Israelis, their attitude towards the genocide at Sudan, Zimbabwe and Mugabe’s regime of terror, etc.
“Ban must be asleep at the wheel.”
It seems to me he’s doing a good job with is audit of the UN’s North Korean program.

“Ban must be asleep at the wheel.”
Actually, by not getting involved in a territorial dispute involving his own country - if this document is even remotely an indication of this - he’s doing exactly what a Secretary General of the UN should be doing.
“And looking at what the UN is doing now, it’s easy to say that the UN is an ineffective organisaion.”
Yes, it is an imperfect organization; however, would people complaining about an education system be in favor closing all schools? If there are health care problems should we shut down all the hospitals? Plow them over?
Improve it, sure, but don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
That analogy is incomplete. To compare a school to the UN, the school would be making children dumber, as well as having several kids die per day.
A hospital would also have to be actively killing patients and/or not making much of a fuss when the insanity ward breaks out and starts stabbing the people next door.
