Annan urges restraint after abduction
Herald Sun ^ | 27 June 2006

UN SECRETARY-General Kofi Annan has called for restraint as Israeli troops massed on the Gaza border for a possible offensive after the kidnapping of a soldier.

Annan urged all parties to "exercise restraint at this grave moment, and to take all possible steps to avoid further escalation and bloodshed," his spokesman said.

According to the spokesman, the secretary general was "alarmed" at the recent events triggered by a Palestinian militant raid early Sunday on an Israeli army post on the Gaza Strip border.

Two Israeli servicemen and two Palestinian fighters were killed and a 20-year-old Israeli corporal, who also holds French nationality, was snatched by the raiders.

Annan's spokesman said the UN chief had called for the "safe and immediate release" of the captured soldier.

Three Palestinian groups, including the armed wing of Hamas, has called for the release of all Palestinian women and children from Israeli jails in exchange for information on the kidnapped soldier.

The deal was rejected by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who has ordered commanders to prepare a major offensive after the abduction.

Kofi Annan has called for restraint

Translation: He's telling Israel to capitulate to terrorism, as usual.

These guys always say they want restraint from the victims. For the aggressors, they don't care a damn what the agressors do, as long as it's harmful to Western civilization.

Does Annan actually say this each time or does he just play a recording?

Yup.
Where was this POS when 2 US soldiers were captured and murdered in the most brutal way possible by Islamofacist scum?
Where were his screams of "restraint" then?

He was not "kidnapped".

He was captured and is a prisoner of war.

It's time Israel waged war, really waged war and showed these barbarians what it really is to level a city or a settlement. It really is time.

During the 6 day war - I was in Japan - saw a lot of locals wearing buttons with just "5 - 10 - 5" on them ???

I finally asked ...

5 in Japaneese is pronounced - "Go"

10 is pronounced - "Jew"

5-10-5

Made my day.

Kofi Annan offers no solutions...only some ridiculous comments about showing "restraint"...and we know who THAT patucular comment is directed towards.

Hopefully, Israelis should ingore these ignorant statements from a useless man, running a useless organization.

I really hope that Israel finally proclaims a big "screw you" to EVERYBODY, and just takes care of the problem.

Is their 100 dead any less important than our 3000 dead?

Also, should they have to endure it on a continual basis?

Would we put up with a constant barrage of suicide bombers and missle attacks?

Would we?
