Beat me to it.
should have added my comments.
Is this an display of us taking the position that using a corrupt weak leader is better than the alternative, someone new.
I had better not print what I'm thinking...
Have any Dims called for Kofi's resignation?
You think they may know something we don't? Like maybe it is inevitable? Or maybe they had rather have Annan than Clinton?
The expression of confidence often comes shortly before the resignation.
i smell a rat..........
I hope this is not true. If true, it is a terrible defeat on the diplomatic front.
grrrrrr.....
i guess the president couldnt care less about what the people who voted for him want. he is on some kind of psycho agenda that doesnt make sense and is putting the republican party in a bad position.
i hope next election i can vote for the constitution party and the republicans dont get 2%.
Expect nothing less from a man that thinks Islam is a religion of peace.
I have no confidence in Annan.
But, I have no confidence in his successor either.
Reminds me of Rather.
If you remove the FACE, you are still left with the corrupt body that produced it. While justified in calling for the resignation of the Face, will it's removal allow the body to regain credibility?
The U.N. itself is the real enemy so the question remains. Which well harm the U.N. more? Annan's resignation or Annan's continued period of service as the FACE?
Barf! What is Bush thinking? This guy is more corrupt then the heads of ENRON--and they were ousted!
On 2nd thought, leave him in there. By leaving him in place, it further proves the point that the UN is a corrupt organization. A group that should not be taken seriously and one that I hope the next President will remove America from!
My advice, let Annan stay and let the US get out.
POLITICS = BULL SH.T I just hate being pissed during the Holidays.
This is one of the times I disagree with the 'white house'.
I had thought 5hat Bush would be different during term two. I guess not. Sadly, he still believes he should not treat the left as foes to be vanquished, but rather win over or appease.
Disappointing.
The Bush administration is insane.
Uncle Sam strides up. Let's listen!
US: "Well, well, well, Kofi," says he.
KA: "Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaave my *sssssss!!!!!!"
US: "Why should I do that, Kofi?"
KA: "I'm Kofi Annan, Secretrary General of the United Nations!
US: "Ummmm hmmm. So?"
KA: "I pull strings for Bill Clinton and his gang!"
US: "Bye, Kofi."
KA: "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiit! I beg you!!! I'll behave, I promise...I'll lay off...I'll quit my pious Kyoto talk!"
US: "Bye, Kofi."
KA: "I beeeeeeeeeegggggggg you!!!! Don't leave me twisting (weeps) in da wind!"
US: "Kofi. You look like a beggar."
KA: "Pleeeeeeease! I'll quit telling you how to run your army!"
US: "I'm listening."
KA: "I'll stay out of your way! I'll quit taking oil money!"
US: (reaching for Kofi's trembling, sweaty, hand) "You'd better behave yourself, you spineless, talentless, shakedown artist. If you don't, I'll cut you off at the knees and send you to Somalia."
KA: "Oh, thank you!! Thank you!!!"
US: "Yeah, whatever. Go put on some clean clothes, creep."
Well, what could we expect?
Here's the administration that most of us worked overtime to get elected. They like Kofi...and they retained Mineta!
We're getting paid back for our efforts.
