That anyone would even think him capable of telling a lie is an outrage.
If you don't believe me, ask Katie Couric.
Everyone is capable of lying
Don't ask me, just look at the evidence
He said he had no idea, while his sons boss was meeting with him secretly before this took place
Was this from an Annan-omous source?
You're not from Rio Linda by any chance, are you?
No
I'm from Massachusetts, And I am proud to not be proud of my state heritage!
...and not just on Fox News, but CBS and ABC as well. Annan is toast, Bolton will be confirmed, bring in the Pinesol and trash bags and let the clean-up begin.
Well, the state was doing okay back there in the beginning. Don't know what happened though.
Yea, and according to Dan Rather, you "can lie about any number of things, and still be considered an honest man" (Thus he told Bill O'Reilly answering why he had referred to Bill Clinton as an honest man)
No word in the NYSlimes er-Times or the LASlimes @ this fraud by Annan. Big surprise there huh?
Just wondering.
LOL!
I just love it when the dims spend so much capital defending the UN against John Bolton. The more that Annan and the UN sinks the more ignorant the dims look.
Annan loves the attention and adoration he gets as head of the UN, strutting around like some banana republic poohbah. He will fight like a tiger to avoid giving it up.
Is he email itself posted, anyhere?
All I could find was this.

Saddam's Aides: Singing 'Like a Canary'(Newsweak)

June 13 issue - Some of Saddam Hussein's most notorious former lieutenants have been dishing dirt. Senate investigators looking into prewar U.N. Oil-for-Food deals have named Saddam's former personal secretary and security chief, Abid Hamid Mahmoud al-Tikriti, former vice president Taha Yassin Ramadan and former foreign minister Tariq Aziz as key witnesses who have provided inside info about Saddam's regime.
Senate staffers traveled to Baghdad earlier this year to interview Iraqi officials, and their reports are among the first official accounts of what captured Iraqi leaders are saying. "In interview after interview, the officials were generally forthcoming and quite proud—even boastful—of their creativity in undermining U.N. sanctions," says Sen. Norm Coleman, who leads one of several congressional probes into Saddam-era oil deals. According to Senate documents, Ramadan is one of the most talkative captives, supplying pithy quotes about how Saddam allegedly manipulated the prewar oil program to buy support from influential foreigners. Senate investigators quote Ramadan saying that Saddam's regime gave foreigners oil allocations—which could be cashed in for lucrative brokerage fees—as "compensation for support." Al-Tikriti told investigators the former Iraqi leader and his aides "were all extremists" on the issue of oil sales to Israel. If they found an Iraqi oil buyer was selling to Israel, they would "not allow it," al-Tikriti said
