Why IS he quitting? Can anybody get ahold of Sally and find out?
Let's hope that Danforth's resignation is the first chink in the dam. Maybe that when the rush of water starts it will flush that useless body right into the East River.
John is the only one who can prepare for Sally back in Missouri their favorite recipe, 'BREAD BAKED WITH HONEY AND CREAM'. He knows just how much 'crème fraîche' (a French sour cream) to use for finest flavor.
Seriously though, I think Mr. Buckley hasn't really touched the real reason Mr. Danforth split so quickly. But I'll wait for wiser men than me to answer your question. But the stench at the U.N. is hard to take.
Agreed.
I was thinking when I first read here on FR that he was quitting (it was on a thread where it was explained by posters how horribly Danforth did on 'Fox and Friends' the other morning) that his early resignation is a sign that big ugly things are right down the road for the U.N. and 'oil for food'.
Danforth was a man of (dubious) duty with his Waco "investigation", so I thought he would stick this ambassadorship out. His quitting early sounds alarms to me - alarms for what I don't know. But it smells.
LOL! There are some people here at FR and elsewhere who believe that Danforth is well above that kind of thing. My jury however is out on him ever since he took that regrettable Waco (snow)job.
Give Kofi a break. He has Bill Clinton as an example....
Never surrender, never resign.
Kofi is leader of a rogue nation crafted within the boundries of America. This nation is accountable to no one.
It should be invaded and conquered.
Oh how I hope and wish that Bill/Hillary are involved in this scandal. They are over due for one.
LOL...... yeh, Billy Boy set a great example by 'toughing everything out'...... a lousy example even to the kids today who saw all that bull from him!
To Kofi Annan with love,Bart
Doesn't Kofi look like he could be Eddie Murphy's father?
I believe that when Danforth left the senate some years back he used the same excuse. Thus, can we assume that he thought the Senate a corrupt institution. It wouldn't surprise me.
I believe Danforth believed what he put out about Waco. You can fault him for that since you are convinced it was a crock. Everyone who knows the man seems to think he well-represents the values and morals of the ordained minister that he is, and that his religious faith is deeply felt and genuine. Yet here you are, saying you have yet to be convinced he isn't being bribed by Kofi Annan. Really now.
He probably is.....but then who knows for sure?
Yeah, can SOMEONE explain to me why FRANCE was put on the SC? What the hell were our post-war leaders thinking?? Seriously, France did NOTHING in the war. NOTHING, well, except for surrender. I can see the rationale for the Soviets, Brits, and Americans. But France?? And when was China added? Were they in in '45 or were they added later?
Admittedly wild speculation: If the Clintons have more exposure in this case than their link to Marc Rich, they could be desperate to use whatever agents they have to suppress the investigation.
When he did his Waco cover up, Danforth was working for the Clinton administration. What did the Clintons have to do to get a man with a very good reputation to front the cover up on their atrocity?
We'll probably never know for sure, but we do know that Filegate has worked very well for them. IF, if, if the lever they used on Danforth was blackmail, they could try to use it again. IF Danforth just couldn't stand to be used for evil purposes again, perhaps he might preempt the attempt and avoid the whole situation.
His strange behavior and ruminations about Waco on Fox show a man deeply disturbed by something in that past and perhaps there is some link to the present and future too.
Danforth is an extremely rich man.........many generations.
