If I had my say, based on what I know, convecture, but if true, the bastard would be indicted and sent to jail.

Relieved at the end of a "horrible year,"

God willing, 2005 is going to be even worse for him.

"he said the criticism and attacks in the United States have not helped the U.S.-U.N. relationship...."

Oh goody, may it deteriorate until there is no relationship left.

"The one thing that "will make my nights and days better," Annan said, is less killing of innocent civilians and an end to conflicts in Africa, especially in Sudan, but also in Iraq."

Annan was also heard to quip " Besides, there is still a lot of money to be made here."

I agree. Commie Annan should not resign his post.

Rather, he should be tied up, bundled with a pretty pink ribbon and handed over to the relatives of people he murdered in Rwanda.

will pursue sweeping reforms in his remaining two years in office

No thanks, Kofi. We don't put foxes in charge of reorganizing the chicken coop.

My college Management professor taught us:

"You can delegate authority, but you cannot delegate responsibility."

How correct he was, yet in government circles, and now with Kofi it seems nobody is responsible.

My take: It was and is Kofi's job to be responsible for everything. That means what he knows about, and what he SHOULD know about.

It is his job to know. It is his job to have ways of finding out. It is his job to have monitoring and auditing systems in place.

That he didn't know about the fraud, is not a defense. It is the proof of his incompetence.

He should be fired, for not knowing. He should be fired for not knowing. He should be fired for not knowing.

He should be fired, for not knowing. He should be fired for not knowing. He should be fired for not knowing.

He should be fired, for not knowing. He should be fired for not knowing. He should be fired for not knowing.

The UN will need to address the makeup of the permanent Security Council seats. If the EU insists that the UK, France, and now Germany, hold permanent seats, then the US must insist that Texas and Ohio (Red states, of course) be given permanent seats as well.

I think the really sad part in all this is that Anan was considered the more moderate and less corrupt administrator for the top spot at the U.N. when 1st elected.

Imagine what the other candidates were like?

The UN is not so flush with funds, as to be able to throw away this much money.

Kofi should be fired for mismanagement. He should be fired for allowing assets to be lost.

Translation: OK, attacking the US and calling its actions in Iraq illegal, and then backing the losing presidential candidate were stupid moves. But I really want to keep my job. Can we make up now?

Leave the slimy bastard in charge, it will hasten the demise of the friggen un in the long run to have corrupt and incompetent leadership, reform is not in the nations interest. Its like wishing for a strong effective premiere durning the bad old days of the soviet union.

"Annan Insists He Won't Resign U.N. Post (wanna bet?)"

Are you giving odds?

The edge should go to his resignation. Kofi is a perfect man for an organization as corrupt as the UN.
