No kidding. That's how delusional this man has become. In this morning's edition of the New York Times, there is a sympathetic story of how tough of a position the Secretary-General of the UNI (United Nations of Irrelevance) finds himself in, even among Americans normally friendly to the global body. Link to story here.
"I have tried to be as helpful as possible, and I have stated at every opportunity that the stabilization of Iraq is everyone's responsibility," Mr. Annan said. "I have argued that regardless of one's position on the war, we must all come together to stabilize Iraq."
Helpful? If denouncing our work in Iraq as an "illegal" war is helpful, please don't offer us any more assistance, Kofi. We can get that kind of help from the French. And by the way, how do you come together to stabilize Iraq when you denounce it every step of the way? Have you secretly been taking John Kerry logic lessons?
Further along in the Times piece is the question of how much pressure Kofi gets from other countries to not cooperate with us. More Kofi from Bizarro-UN:
"Actually, it's the other way around. I am the one who is always telling governments, including those that did not support the war, that the civilization of Iraq is everyone's business because we cannot have a chaotic Iraq in the middle of that region."
Huh?
At what point, I'm expecting Kofi to come out with, "Actually, it's the other way around. The tragic accident of 9/11 was actually the buildings' fault for swaying into the path of the oncoming planes. It's everyone's business to make sure accidents like that don't happen, and I'm working with all of the international architects to see that this doesn't happen again."
Not three weeks ago, Kofi warned coalition forces not to move into Fallujah, saying it would be a misake. Guess what. We're now in Fallujah. Bad guys are no longer a problem there. The city will now stabilize, allowing us to move to the next nest of cockroaches. What conversation do you suppose Kofi Annan has had with Jacques Chirac? Even if you are a lefty internationalist, you cannot possibly believe that Annan has been taking Chirac behind the woodshed and ordering him to get with the program, do you? This last statement by Kofi is clearly a lie.
Now, for the grand finale. If you are not sitting down, you'd better.
"Without being boastful," he said, "I think that except for these activities of ours, we would not have moved as far as we have, whether it was the establishment of an interim Iraqi government or the preparation for the elections. I think our role has been essential, and not one that is played by an organization that is irrelevant."
Thank God, no that's not right. Thank Kofi, the United Nations is saving Iraq. I'm telling you, the more I see how the UN is evolving, the more I want to lead my own coalition to lower Manhattan, slice off that corner of the island, and allow it do drift off to sea where it can finally come to rest on a reef somewhere. Then they have have their own Elba island from which to rule the world.
It if weren't for us, Iraq wouldn't have an interim government and elections on the way. You think George W. Bush, L. Paul Bremer, Tony Blair, John Howard and a hundred fifty thousand determined coalition forces had anything to do with it, Kofi?
Kofi Annan's term as Secretary-General expires in 2006. If there is any justice in the world, he'll have to fly back home coach, with a sick child next to him the whole way.
Guess what, Kofi? If you have to defend the UN's relevance in every interview you give from now until the end of your term, what does that tell you? You're irrelevant. How's that Oil for Food Scandal going?

And not they are defending the idiots in Fallujah who blew up their own building...
Bizarro indeed.
Coffee A-No-No is drinking his own generated bubble bath water again!
Tamsey: If it weren't for the U.N., Saddam would have known he was out of options and the Coalition could have forced him out of power without taking military action.
The UN. Irrelevant in nearly 200 languages.
"Without being boastful, I think that except for these activities of ours, we would not have moved as far as we have, whether it was the establishment of an interim Iraqi government or the preparation for the elections. I think our role has been essential, and not one that is played by an organization that is irrelevant."
The last sentence betrays his underlying worry that the UN is in fact becoming quickly irrelevant in the face of its constant bucking against the U.S. and President Bush. At least Kofi won't be able to be Secretary-General again in 2006. He's reached his term limit, I believe.
Yes Kofi. You, your son, and your organization, the UN, have been extremely important to the people of Iraq!
You have kept about $7 billion out of their hands so they could continue to live in poverty without medications and food!
Sure Kofi, pad yourself on the back you coward. This is the same rat who runs out of Iraq at the sound of a firecracker. Give me a break Kofi Annan you're such an idiot.
Hey Kofi, your time is up.
The UN is a den of thieves!
Jack Danforth is on C-Span right now addressing the issue of the unhelpfulness of the UN. He concludes that, while the US should and does work in multi-lateral ways, it may be that we will sometimes have to stand for our principles even if it means standing alone.
It would be much further. In fact if the UN hadn't had a intere$t in keeping $addam in power Iraq would perhaps today be celebrating 10 years of peace stability and freedom.
Kofi's a thieving, pathological liar.
deluded leftwing megalomaniac blather alert.
The Bush administration would do well not to support the reappointment of Kofi Annan and/or the UN nuclear chief Mohammad El Baridi. That would be a big mistake. The US funds the UN, the US should make some serious changes when the time comes.
