If this isn't a sign that Kofi Annan should resign from the UN, I don't what else it is going to take to get rid of him. Yesterday, a gentleman by the name of Alexander Yakovlev pleaded guilty in federal court to charges of money laundering and wire fraud in connection with his part in the Oil-For-Food fiasco.

The United States knew many years ago that Saddam was pulling the wool over the UN's eyes with bribes and promises of cheap oil when the sanctions were lifted. Benon Sevan, the head of the fiasco is accused of taking about 150 grand in bribes from Saddam.

Things are looking very, very bad for poor old Kofi Annan, Paul Volcker's investigation into the oil-for-food fiasco is beginning to bear fruit. Now is the time for Kofi to step down, and let someone else clean up his mess and restore some integrity to the UN.

Scrap the whole thing. The corruption is systemic.
