IIIIII get it! He wants US air force power to proceed not only into Iraq from the South at Basra, but also from the North from Turkey and the West from Jordan. Got it! Thanks Coffee! Multilateral approach.

The United States should not go it alone in the war on terrorism, said U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan in his speech before the U.N. General Assembly on Thursday. Then President George W Bush proceeded to rip Kofi a new a-hole the size of the Grand Canyon. (Which, by the way, is US property).

"Terrorism can be defeated only if all nations unite against it," Annan said. Absolutely. And like Bush says, Hurry up and unite them already. Geesh. It's not our fault that the UN is a mess. It's the UN's fault. And if the UN doesn't get their act together, like Bush says, we can't sit on our hands when Saddam is only months away.

So all you have to do Kofi is jump on board and you'll have all the multilateral you can stand.

And Portugal, too, I think, right? Plus, I heard Bulgaria also made some favorable comments.
Oh, wait a minute . . . I get it . . . He means socialist countries.

"Only by multilateral action can we ensure that open markets offer benefits and opportunities to all; only by multilateral action can we give people in the least developed nations the chance to escape the ugly misery of poverty, ignorance, and disease; only by multilateral action can we protect ourselves from acid rain or global warming..."Terrorists don't follow UN guidelines. Any nation foolish enough to rely on Kofi's multilateral mumbo-jumbo is destined for the trash-heap of history.
To: Tailgunner Joe
Basically, Annan was saying that the UN is completely useless. He identified three problems about which the UN has done nothing. They're too busy swilling champaigne and eating lobster I suppose.
I've asked a few times, can anyone list one example of successful UN peace making or conflict resolution. So far, no one has come up with anything (perhaps this isn't the best forum for that question ;-).

Annan Warns US To Follow 'Multilateral Approach' Excuse me, Kofi, but we aren't "following" this time. This time, "multilateral" is when the rest of the world signs up with OUR agenda. Take it up with them.
To: Tailgunner Joe
"Terrorism can be defeated only if all nations unite against it," Annan said. I doubt this premise/opinion. Let's test it! *devilish grin*
To: Tailgunner Joe
This little general needs go visit Saddam personally ....on just the right day....at just the right time.....
To: The Vast Right Wing
don't forget Italy, they jumped on today.Wow! Thanks, thats great news! Just went and tracked down the Washington Times article on it. Bravisimo Italia!
I can almost envision a Cingular Wireless commercial with the non UN sanctioned, US led coalition calling Kofi every step of the way to Baghdad, "Hey Kofi ... can you hear us now? Good! Now? Good! ... "
To: Tailgunner Joe
Joe....
Someone should tell this idiot to go back to Africa, and feed his starving nations with his "multilateralism", All the while he dines on lobster and caviar. Hypocrite.

Yeah, he said all this high sounding trash, right before President Bush got up to speak and tore the entire U.N. a new one. If I may be allowed to paraphrase, "put up or shut up". I enjoyed seeing the hang dog expression on the faces of the Iraqi delegation, they looked a tad uncomfy.
