UNITED NATIONS, June 17 -- U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan on Thursday urged the Security Council to oppose renewal of a resolution that would shield U.S. troops serving in U.N.-approved peacekeeping missions from prosecution before the International Criminal Court, saying the "exemption is wrong."
Annan noted that the United States is facing international criticism for abuses of detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan. He told reporters: "It would be unwise to press for an exemption, and it would be even more unwise on the part of the Security Council to grant it. It would discredit the council and the United Nations that stands for the rule of law."

Hey kofi how 'bout we drag your sorry a$$ into our US Federal court for all the embezzlement and corruption you and saddamn have be up to in NYC?!
LOL!!! The UN Security Council had credibility? Who knew?
UN troops are raping women in the Congo, but Kofi chooses to focus his attention on female soldiers pointing at Iraqi penii....
Kofi, as long as I am still breathing, you will never get your hands on my BELOVED U.S. of A.!!!! So, Kofi, Do not PASS Go, go directly, smartly and very straight to H*LL!!!!
He's pissed the upper layers at the UN were caught in a major scandal and they want to put us over a barrel.
US out of UN. UN out of US!! Return that sorry bastard and his cohorts in crime back to their villages to continue to roam the jungle in loin clothes.
Through his fat butt out of this country
Grrr
Through = Throw
Exactly ..
Sounds like Koffee is trying to threaten us to back off
I say push harder and then still refuse to be held responsible while under the UN.
The whole thing is a set up.
This little slimeball wouldn't have the first effing clue about the ''rule of law'', even if it bit him in the ass at one of his U. S. taxpayer-funded mega-dollar sex parties.
Why are we in the UN? Seriously, why? Why are my hard earned tax dollars financing the UN? I wish we had a president who would stand up to this nonsense.
And this from a guy where the average life expectancy is 39 years.
Where is the rule of law when it comes to the Oil for Food scandal where they tell some of the leading perpetrators not to cooperate, give no subpoena powers to the investigator, Volker. Ignore Palestinian/Arab attrocities. Sudan, Libya and Cuba on the Human Rights Council. Etc. ect. etc.
I don't need to wish Annan to go to hell - Lucifer has reservations already made!
Is "effing" in the Oxford, yet?

Hope we do. Mr. Super U.N. twerp wants to sit in judgement of the U.S. while he blatantly steals. Great power play - be a member of the Security Council, vote in sanctions on countries, then proceed to handle under the table deals to profit from breaking the sanction they themselves put into place. Sure beats bringing peace and unity to the world.
