The failure of last week's United Nations summit to deliver an agreement designed to prevent terrorists acquiring 'weapons of mass destruction' was sabotaged by the US, senior diplomats have told The Observer.So the US refused to give up any of it's weapons, while demanding that other countries abandon any hopes of developing a deterrent forever. See, when brown or French people want nukes, they're "weapons of mass murder". The US and UK only have weapons of mass liberation, apparently.
Officials involved in the negotiations have confirmed that the Bush administration's refusal to countenance any form of disarmament blocked attempts to push measures that would prevent regimes seeking to develop a nuclear capability.
It contradicts reports last week that the US had in fact been furious that plans to crack down on nuclear proliferation were stripped out of the final UN document.
However, diplomats speaking on condition of anonymity have revealed it was in fact President Bush who scuppered what the UN believed was a crucial move in helping make the world safer from the risk of terrorists obtaining a nuclear threat.
Sources reveal that the move has heightened further tensions between the Americans and furious UN officials who believe the issue remains the greatest threat to world peace. Kofi Annan, secretary-general of the UN, told world leaders that the decision to drop all references in the final UN text to disarmament was 'inexcusable', saying that 'weapons of mass destruction pose a grave danger to us all'.
Later, President Bush urged leaders to tackle regimes that 'pursue weapons of mass murder'.
I mean, I know they're big in to Jesus but I don't think the Son would want people at his Father's table to glow.
