UN Rushes to Blame ETA

The Arab-dominated UN Security Council rushed to issue a statement blaming ETA for today’s Spanish terror attacks: UN Security Council blames ETA.

THE UN Security Council has voted unanimously to immediately blame Basque militants ETA for the Spanish train bombings.

The vote was made before evidence emerged pointing to al-Qaeda.

The 15-nation council, on which Spain holds a non-permanent seat, passed a resolution naming ETA as the perpetrator of the attack after diplomats said they accepted the accusation put forward by Madrid.

But previous resolutions have stopped short of naming a specific individual or group, and several UN officials privately expressed surprise at the decision to finger ETA for the bombings, which came ahead of weekend elections in Spain. …

“We have to give a powerful signal,” Chile’s UN ambassador Heraldo Munoz said. He appealed for “unity and clear condemnation” from his council colleagues before the vote.

Munoz heads a key council committee responsible which oversees sanctions against al-Qaeda and the Taliban, which was created in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.

But officials noted that a Security Council resolution passed the day after those attacks did not mention al-Qaeda, and that similar resolutions condemning attacks in Bali and Moscow also refrained from naming a specific perpetrator.

“You get the feeling they just jumped the gun on this,” one UN official said.

The phenomenon of Western countries deliberately imposing politically correct blindness on themselves is deeply disturbing. We’ve seen this time and time again, from the terrorist attack against the El Al terminal in LA to the John Allen Muhammad case. Even though we are supposedly in a war with Islamic extremists, we inevitably go out of our way to give them the benefit of the doubt and investigate every other possibility first.
