UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The Bush administration has confidence in U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and is not calling for his resignation, U.S. Ambassador John Danforth said on Thursday.

Several Republican congressmen have called for Annan's resignation, accusing him of presiding over corruption in the U.N. oil-for-food program for Iraq, administered by the United Nations but supervised by the 15-nation Security Council.

But Danforth said he was representing the opinion of the White House and the State Department in supporting Annan.

"We are expressing confidence in the secretary-general and his continuing in office," Danforth told reporters.

"No one to my knowledge has cast doubt on the personal integrity of the secretary-general. No one," Danforth said. "We have worked well with the secretary general. We anticipate working with him in the future."

I just don't get it - between illegals flooding our borders un-impeded and keeping this moron opportunist on at the UN, this administration (which I voted for) must be just plain smarter than I am.

>> There there, now. I hope you feel better. It is time for your medication.

Stupid newbie. Get a clue, dunce.

>America would have been attacked and we had to stop Hitler before he was allowed to to try his hand at the US.

Uh, okay, but your facts are a little bit off.

Hilter did try his hand at the US.
-He declared *war* on us, not us on him.

Yes, you are exactly correct. I was just trying to show my liberal friend the parallels between that situation and the situation we faced in Iraq.

Hitler's Germany had not yet attacked the US, but he planned to. And we stopped him before he was allowed to do so.

The person arguing with me was saying that we should not be in Iraq to simply help the people, like we did in France during WWII. He said that like France, they will just hate us for it.

I am arguing that you have to eliminate fascism/Nazism/ whatever, before it hits you hard. The struggle we face in the middle-east is just another faze of fascism.

Thank you and thank you very much. :-)

Oh,you're a newbie to the net,as well as to FR. That site is so OLD,that all of us here have known about for even longer than FR has been up and running.LOL

Just because you just discovered something,pet,doesn't mean that nobody else knows about it.And there is are a few cartoons on that site,that suit you.

You're really out of your depth here,you poor thing.

[nopardons]

And BTW..the conjunction for you are,is you're;not YOUR,which is the possessive.

[nopardons]

Thanks,my dear;I certainly am! Isn't it funny that those who have the most difficult time trying to best me,always assume that I'm a man? :-)

[nopardons]

Yep and it ALWAYS is just horrible here,when the kids have a long vacation. *sigh*

[nopardons]

Good idea...Charles is absolutely brillaint! :-)

[nopardons]

Agreed....LOL

[Darksheare]

Yeah, I noticed that.
*chuckle*
Get's them every time too.

[nopardons]

Hehehehehehehehehehe....maybe someone should do a study on this.It's too funny for words and about 99.9% accurate. :-)

[Darksheare]

LOL!

All I know is: I'm not the guy to do the study.
I'd be busy asking questions and then roasting the trolls.
*wincing in laughter*

[CaptainAwesome2]

those arent questions for me to answer. im not here to take a history test. if i argued that america didnt spend money or lose lives in the reconstruction of germany then i would be obligated to answer those questions. since im not arguing that then i dont need to start answering detailed questions about the post ww2 rebuilding.

[nopardons]

ROTFLMSO!

You're just so darn funny and adorable! :-)

[Darksheare]

Careful.
Someone may think I have a heart!

[nopardons]

On the contrary,pet. It is incumbent upon you to KNOW whereof you speak,before posting utter drivel,and historical references are part and parcel of it all around here.And yes,you ARE "obligated" to answer serious questions put to you;especially when you just throw out any old thing without the ability and inclination to refute and/or debate,when challenged.

[nopardons]

Oooooooooooooppppppppppppppppppps...okay,I'll say no more. :-)

[Darksheare]

Thanks!
