NO, it's like WAR!

[ferri]

what the he** does he know anyway?

[JasonC]

Yes, and it can be applied to thieves on a grand enough scale as well as retail murderers.

[onewhowatches]

Or battle casualties. Whole different thing.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Kofi Annan is as good as it gets out of Africa......so sad!

[skr]

And here I thought the Israelis attempting to punish only the perpetrators instead of blasting marketplaces, busses and restaurants full of innocents were the more civilized.

[dennisw]

Kofi. Shut up you idiot! Israel will continue to pick off the leaders of the Palestinian terrorists. Yes, Israel will continue to liquidate these scumbags because they have declared war on Israel and they send terrorists and rockets into Israel

[MinuteGal]

Kookie Annan has been rather quiet for a while, probably because John Bolton passes him in the hall every day with a large hot coffee in his hand.

But you can't keep a big mouth down, so watch out for incoming and duck......Kookie looks like he's gonna be shooting off again.

Annan...called on both Israelis and Palestinians to respect international law and to take steps to quell the violence.

Well, Mr. Milquetoast, do you want the Israelis to just blast away generally without regard to trying to hit the guilty?

[rbg81]

Kofi has the moral authority of a toilet paper core. But at least a toilet paper core never willingly locked lips with the likes of Yassir Arafat. Just the thought of the makes me want to puke. In fact, I have to run............

[DOGEY]

This guy is as loony as Jimma Carter. Target killing attempts to isolate violence to the principals involved; rocketing civilians kills randomly.The UN is a waste of money.

[Steveone]

Whats this clowns qualifications for this job anyway has to be NONE ??

[Supernatural]

Just leave everything to the U.N., they'll fix everything.

Like the nuclear weapons Iran wants, or alread has. Get'em, U.N.!

[Past Your Eyes]

"International Law"??? What in hell is that?

[RightWhale]

Does it seem Annan thinks there is something wrong with this? Since he doesn't even mention the execution of thousands in Sudan or Iran's threat to incinerate Israel, he probably thinks there is not only nothing wrong with this, but that a state has a right to terminate with prejudice--which it does, and he is correct in so thinking.

[Fred Hayek]

Kofi Annan is also a product of McAlester University in St Paul, MN. Loony left lieberal arts school. Once in a while at Summit and Snelling they let the loonies out for the anti-war anti-capitalism anti-Bush anti-America rant fest. And sometimes the Freepers are across the street (but only on weekends, since us unwashed Freepers have real jobs).

[castlebrew]

more like taking out the trash!

[synbad600]

". . . called on both Israelis and Palestinians to respect international law and to take steps to quell the violence."

This'll learn 'em.

[VeniVidiVici]

Yeah, Kofi. It would be so much better for the Israelis to unleash missiles on civilians in a random fashion as the Palis do rather than hit the folks in charge.
