We must end U.S. involvement in this corrupt organization of tyrants, socialists, and America-haters. Get the United Nations out of the U.S. and get the U.S. out of the United Nations!

The press is still complaining that President Bush was missing-in-action for the first two days after South Asia's devastating tsunami disaster, but only one reporter has challenged U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan on why he was out of commission for even longer.
When he finally returned from his skiing holiday, Annan was questioned by Fox Newsman Jonathan Hunt about why he continued his vacation well into the week as the staggering death toll mounted.
"I think a lot of people are asking exactly why you waited three days on vacation in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, before you decided to fly back to New York in the face of this extraordinary crisis," Hunt asked during a Thursday press conference in New York. "Could you give us a full explanation of your thinking on that?" Hunt continued. "Secondly, what kind of signal does that 72-hour delay send to the nations to which you are now appealing for greater help?"
Obviously irked by the inquiry, Annan replied:
"First of all, there was action. It wasn't inaction. We live in a world where you can operate from wherever you are . . . You don't have to be physically here to be dealing with the leaders and the governments I have been dealing with. You don't have to be physically here to be discussing with some of the agencies that we have done."
The angry Secretary General then barked, "I don't have to be sitting in my office to take action. I think the same goes for you in your profession."
First of all that guy KOFFEE is a real moron ..Not very bright at all from the mny statements and comments I've read from him .Secondly , WHEN THE HELL ARE WE GOING TO PULL OUT OF THE UN ? WHEN ??? It's a gentlemans club of arrogant do nothing elitist . I'm a musician who works in NYC, I see them all the time . Arabs are the worst , womanizers , drinkers , snobs to the max.Next day they face Mecca and pray for the end of the USA.
Other than begging for money and whining for more help, wheres the action?
Jonathon Hunt really deserves some kind of award for "irking" the UN elite.
There's something about his English accent that seems to drive them right over the edge.
In all seriousness...I agree...but we allowed those crooks and criminals to corrupt our world leadership to avoid blackmail.
We have many many MANY dirty little secrets and tons of skeletons in closets thanks to criminal behavior between our leaders and others in that corrupt club...too much for many to lose therefore it will never go away...it is a club for the rich and powerful element to hide in and behind...
They don't fit the definition of gentlemen that I'm familiar with. Besides the behavior that you describe, do you remember the incident within the last couple of years when the food service people at the UN walked out? The esteemed upper crust at the Tower of Babel on the East side looted the dining facilities of everything they could carry off. Food, silver, dishes and especially the liquor.
Civilized people? Hardly.
We must end U.S. involvement in this corrupt organization of tyrants, socialists, and America-haters. Get the United Nations out of the U.S. and get the U.S. out of the United Nations!
This news reporter sounds like someone to keep an eye on to get to the story and report it the way it is. I don't know much about him, but the question he put to that corrupt monkey sure seems to set him apart from the "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" crowd of so called "journalists" who would rather make up news that is biased.
I must disagree. It's a far cry from a "gentlemen's club". It is indeed a group of arrogant do-nothing elitists, but there isn't the slightest resemblance to a gentlemen among the hoard of thieves that comprise the majority of it's membership.
Careful with the use of the word "monkey". President Bush can be called a monkey. He can be pictured as made of monkeys. Since Anan is "kofi" colored, you must not use that reference or the full wrath of the left will descend on you. (Irony ahead full!)
My idea of grilling Kofi would entail using a long red hot poker and sticking it to him where the sun dont shine...
Oh, he took action all right.
In the red states, no less!
Da Kofi-man don gotta be in de office to be de pompus a$$, you know...
But obviousely President Bush has to be in the Oval Office in the White House to take action and can not do it from his ranch at Crawford
"It's indeed a bummer when one has to cut short a vacation with the hookers to return to work (or whatever it is that he does)."
Kofi is going down. By the way what kind of name is Kofi? Sounds like a name you might want to call your Chihuahua.
sometimes on the morning after yer eyes play tricks on you. I thought the header said..."Irked Gofi Killed on Vacation."
