Annan Denies Claim That He Told Iran to Ignore Uranium Deadline
Fox News ^ | September 21, 2006 | Jonathan Wachtel and James Rosen

Posted on 09/21/2006 9:20:30 PM PDT by bobsunshine

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Thursday was trying to settle a flap over a potentially damaging claim made earlier in the day by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Ahmadinejad said Annan had told him Iran could ignore a Security Council resolution requiring the country to cease enriching uranium by Aug. 31 or face economic sanctions. The Security Council sought the resolution in the face of rising fears over Iran's possible moves toward building nuclear weapons: Uranium enrichment is one of the key factors in that process.

But in its most recent report, the United Nations nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, found that Iran had continued enriching uranium through the deadline, bypassing Security Council Resolution 1696.

"We didn't understand and couldn't understand why a resolution was passed in the midst of an examination of a package," Ahmadinejad said. "We think [the Security Council] was probably under pressure by some powers who constantly want to place pressure on countries. The secretary-general told me to disregard what has happened for the time being, resort to diplomacy."

If I was a house member I would call for legislation tomorrow to cut funding to the UN. This is F-ing unbelievable. Although it sounds exactly like annan to do so.

I don't think he lied at all. In fact, Mahmoud(moo-mound) Ahmadinejad has been fairly truthful all along.
He said Israel should be destroyed, and re-confirmed this many times over.
He threatens the USA with unpresidented catastophy, many times over.
He says the "Great Pumpkin" oops, I mean the hidden 12 year old Imam who "dissapeared" in 935 will crawl back out of the well he has been hiding in, and rule the world, and that He, Moo-mound, must start a world war, or more specifically, a global religious war, to trigger this return.
He has stated this often, and again in the UN yesterday.

So who do you believe, Coughing Anus, or Moo-mound when he claims Coughing Anus told him to ignore the UN deadline?

Hey Kofi baby...see what happens when you cozy up to the devil.
Thanks for proving to the American people that you, the UN and little Adolph from Iran are never to be trusted.

It is time to give the UN 24 hours to vacate the UN building and find another sucker home for all of you parasites because the UN building and all of its inhabitants are vermin and the building should be destroyed and decontamined within 48 hours.

Go find another sucker to house and support you parasites...the world would be better served if we converted the property to a real garbage processing center or better yet a pet cemetary. You @ssholes from the rest of world suck pig shiite!

At first glance it would be hard to understand why Ahminawhackjob would put this out there for public consumption.

Kofi is clearly not taking a hard line stance against Iran. If it is true, then outing him doesn't help him with Kofi. If it is not true, it doesn't help with getting Kofi to do Ahminawhackjob's bidding.

But when taken in the light of Ahminawhackjob's stated goal, bringing about the end times by sowing disorder and death across the globe so as to bring forth the 12/hidden Imam, which is supposed to lead to total peace (IE world islamization.), then it makes sense.

If Kofi said this, then this screws Kofi and makes it more likely that the UN would escalate things. It also makes it more likely that we would ignore the UN when it tries to force us to take a softer stance.

If Kofi did not say this, then it makes it more likely that we would ignore the UN when it tries to force us to take a softer stance.

Taken in proper context, this is a win win situation for Ahminawhackjob.

Why we have ANYTHING to do with the U.N makes no sense to me.

"Parasites" is an understatement. The UN is full of third world islamic scum, the worlds worst human rights violators, the worlds worst mass murdering scum, the worlds worst thieves, rapists, pedopiles (I'm talking about the liberal elitists that inhabit the building now) and the worlds worst lunatic fringe, leftist morons who think they know all, and if they can dictate everything people do in their every day lives, the world will be a happy place full of sunshine rainbows and loli-pops.

The place is full of the worlds most corrupt, evil un-elected wanna be rulers, hiding behind NGO's that they use to launder the cash stupid people and their stupid governments so willingly hand over to them.

The Leftist lunatic liberals have control of the leftist lunatic media, who have the filming of disaster and pleading for money down to an art.
But as soon as that camera moves on to the next disaster, the previous one is forgotten, the money sucked out of sympathetic wanna do good sheeple disapears into the vast money laundering machine of the NGO's and the higarchy of the UN, who isn't accountable for one penny of it.

Here's the deal.

The midget is in well is not coming out.

Why? The answer, he doesn't exist.

Here's the fact.

President Bush is not playing, to use modern nomenclature.

don't hold our breath waiting to hear more about it - it's gone off to never never land, residing with Sndy Bergers docs and Jefferson's (Of the freezer bucks) investigation. .. and the suit against Hitlery.

It's only investigated, blown out of proportion, made up, and stretched out of recognition if a republican is involved - or can be made to appear so

Unfortunately, I don't think the US owns the property - a big mistake>

Without calling you out too much, I have to say that your post (above) seems too perfectly patterned after what Liberals say and think about conservatives/freepers. Glaring grammatical and spelling errors, a "rag head" slur, and of course the Illegles(sp). When I first read your post, I instantly thought troll. If not, then my apologies, but please take a moment to read your posts before you post them...they don't need to be perfect and i'm not an English teacher, but your post could be pulled out and put on display as the poster for "backward, stupid, racist conservatives" by the Liberal media.

Of course, if you are a troll, then you have been brainwashed by the Left into believing what they wish the conservative movement was composed of. Unfortunately, the most intelligent people on the planet visit and post to this forum (and a few rednecks too - god luv em).
