Palestine Statehood Bid: U.S. Cuts Off UNESCO Funding After Palestine Vote

Updated: 10/31/11 04:38 PM ET

PARIS — Palestine became a full member of UNESCO on Monday in a highly divisive breakthrough that will cost the agency a fifth of its budget and that the U.S. and other opponents say could harm renewed Mideast peace efforts.

Soon after the vote, the United States cut funding to the organization because of a U.S. law that bars funding an organization that has Palestine as a member before an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal is reached.

That decision will have an immediate effect: The United States won't make a $60 million payment scheduled for November, according to State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.

For all we know, this is over Cain calling some woman "darling" and complimenting her appearance.

According to Cain, this is about him remarking to one of his subordinates that she was as tall as his wife, while raising his hand to his chin, indicating her height..... (I guess his wife is short).

This woman who brought the suit was vertically challenged. Probably had a Napoleonic complex....<g>

This whole thing stinks.

I think it's ludicrous.
