U.N. SHOCKED THAT IRAN THREATENS ISRAEL

I CAN UNDERSTAND THE SHOCK. I MEAN, WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING? THEY NEED A FIRM WRIST SLAPPING! SET UP A STUDY GROUP ... AND CONCLUDE IT'S ALL ISRAEL'S FAULT.

UN Head Shocked at Iran's Israel Comment
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was "shocked and dismayed" at a report that Iran's hard-line president said the world would soon witness the destruction of Israel, the UN said Thursday. "The secretary-general points out that the State of Israel is a full and long-standing member of the UN with the same rights and obligations as every other member," UN deputy spokeswoman Marie Okabe said in a statement. "He reminds that under the UN Charter, all members have undertaken to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state."
