Chutzpah
You've got to hand it to the U.N. It takes some serious brass to run an ad like this (blogad taken from Haloscan:
This should inspire a contest. Come up with the best follow up to the line: "Free Elections in Iraq: The UN Is There." For instance:
Free Elections in Iraq. The UN is There... Figuring Out How Best To Take Credit
(via Bloggerbeer and Half the Sins)
UPDATE: Changed the copied code of the Blogad to a screenshot, and linked it to the page to which the ad clicks through.
UPDATE II: The same ad is running today on Instapundit.
UPDATE III: As Martin points out in comments, this isn't really the United Nations: the UN Foundation is a nominally independent body which works with the UN Fund. (I have no clue how operationally independent it is. So it's not clear the UN actually proposed this advertising. Nice catch, Martin! The branding certainly fooled me.
