Annan slams Bush for reliance on U.N. inspectors -

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan today slammed the Bush administration for its reliance upon a decade of intelligence gathered in Iraq by United Nations weapons inspectors.

Mr. Annan's critique came after David Kay, the outgoing chief of the Iraq Survey Group, told a Senate panel that U.S. intelligence agencies had become dependent upon the U.N. weapons inspectors and didn't develop their own sources. This resulted in faulty analysis of Saddam Hussein's remaining WMD stockpiles.

"Bush is naive," said Mr. Annan. "He's a lemming who blindly went along with the judgment of U.N. experts, the CIA and other international intelligence agencies, the U.N. Security Council and former President Clinton. What a moron! How did he ever think that the U.N. inspectors could get accurate information as long as Saddam was terrorizing his people?"

Exactly! What more examples do you need to show that the UN is a Farce?

Ok I didn't see that comment.
And yeah if Rudy sticks to NY he'll do fine. He probably could beat Hitlery and could win as Gov.

Kofi Annan, like all previous Secretaries General, is just a side show to what the UN really was about: a venue in which the victors of World War II (along with France) can discuss and argue over how to manage the world and keep from fighting each other. Who ever held the glorified beaurocratic post of Secretary General was whole irrelevant- it was leaders such as Kennedy, Kruschev, Nixon, Breshnev, Reagan, Thatcher, Gorbechev, etc who chose to use the UN as the venue in which they could discuss with each other (and not with the Secretary General and his chorus of third world dictatorships) the problems and issues of the Cold War. Now that that war is over (we won!), new problems have arisen. The UN has proven incapable, by choice and by organization, of dealing with the threat of global terrorism. Leaders such as Bush, Gadaffi, Blair, Sharon, Faud, Putin, Komeni, etc are no longer using the UN, or even NATO, as the venue in which they address this threat.

I searched the site and I did not find any such article either. Zot?

This is pretty funny! However, you probably shouldn't have given it the attribution you did. You could have just put in "satire" or something. You have me going there for a while!

I don't believe Kofi would say this:)

The UN as Animal House:

'You f----d up. You trusted us.'

"Funny stuff!"

[Callahan]

Sad part is I had to do a double take before I realized it was a satire. Kofi Annan acting like a retard is just so totally believable.

LOL!!
