UN building in Iraq now being destroyed (deliberately)...
because it is 'structurally unsound.'

Human remains still there may never be recovered.

No link. On CNN right now.

1. So how will they know...
So will they know whether it was a flatbed or cement truck?

So how will they know if it was C-4 or old "soviet vintage munitions"?

So how will they know if everyone has been accounted for?

I would think those questions couldn't be answered until the crime scene was thoroughly investigated. Isn't this a little premature?

3. MOVE ALONG-- NOTHING TO SEE HERE
Unreal, kind of like Joe Stalin or Uncle Adolf covering up their crimes.

It is much to early to destroy that building! What about documenting evidence? Who can stop this madness!

2. What in the world would be the reason for doing this?
Smells like a cover up or perhaps a way to destroy any documents that would debunk the "WMD" findings due to come out next month.

11. Agreed!
I thought it was toally bizarre when our forces immediately demolished the building where Saddam's sons had been hiding -- now this! Man, I hate to say it but it looks as if someone is in a real rush to destroy any incriminating evidence. Destroying both of these buildings before the dust had even settled smacks of a coverup, and insures there will be no honest investigation.

5. what does the bushgang want to hide

by tearing down the building? UN workers still alive there probably know.

or perhaps they don't want anyone to be able to tell that the bushgang did it.

whatever the reason, it isn't for safeties sake.

6. After 'shock and awe', there are structurally unsound buildings all over
They don't seem to be rushing to tear those down, do they?....

7. In my humble opinion
I think CNN is structurally unsound just as FOX News is off the wall.

I guess something needs to be covered up fast before real intelligence can access the crime scene. Heven forbid we wouldn't want a second opinion whether or not the FBI got it right, 'eh?

12. Like clockwork
It is being destroyed just as * whines to the UN that we need more multinational security support over there. Oh man, the modus operandi of this cabal gets more stupid and transparent every day.

It's getting hard to even feel clever for being able to see through it!

13. Just like the WTC, Murrah Building, etc.
It was a fucking planned hit, and now they're covering up the evidence. :grr:

15. My thoughts exactly
At first I didn't think this was any kind of conspiracy. I could see the UN being a legitimate target for terrorists because it sort of represents the dominance of the Western world.

But then I learned about Sergio Vierra de Mello and what he was trying to do.

Then I learned that many of the basic facts (was it a truck bomb? where did it hit?) were being disputed.

And now, they are carting away all the evidence. It just reeks like a planned strike by the BFEE to me.
