Gosh, I'm tired of reading this; how many ways can you say "It's not going to happen."
Thank You.
There will never be an American Secretary General of the UN. Most of the educated elites of the third world thinks the UN is already a mouthpiece for the US anyway. Yes, really.
People who write this stuff in the gossip columns (?!?) have probably never read the UN Charter and don't know a thing about the procedures and customs of selecting the S-G.
"Clinton aide lays out U.N. role." (Clinton gets 2-yr job to oversee UN spending for Tsunami relief)
"Clinton aide lays out U.N. role. Ex-president projected to spend two years as special envoy."
"UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- Former President Clinton will spend at least two years in his new role as the U.N. envoy promoting recovery in tsunami-hit countries, his deputy said.
His job also will be to demand accountability for the unprecedented billions of dollars donated by countries and individuals, said Erskine Bowles....."
"...With the United Nations under attack over alleged corruption in the oil-for-food program in Iraq, sex abuse by U.N. peacekeepers and mismanagement by top officials, Bowles said it is essential to make sure the billions of dollars for tsunami recovery is used properly."
"We've got to be the champion of transparency and accountability," he said."
