Dear Kofi:

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe coined the phrase "Less is More"

I agree. The fewer terrorist, the more freedom. Sorry you
don't agree, But, what the hey! You're the UN! You wouldn't understand.

[ChefKeith]

only because all his relatives are there.

[Paulus Invictus]

Big Billy Crintoon, for example.

Hey Kof - wasn't your son involved in that oil-for-money U.N. scam thing? And didn't you try to influence the election with that "missing explosives" bs? Please just STFU. (And I wouldn't go takin' any car rides with a certain Mr. Bill Clinton. I think he wants your job. "Yea, me and Teddy K. are going to drive over to Cape Cod for some weekend fun - want to go-with?").

[Boundless]

> If Bush keeps it up, they are going to hit him with a resolution.

If the UN keeps it up, they are going to be hit by the GDA,
and a US withdrawal from the UN. Anyway, the screws were
tightened within hours of knowing the election outcome:

GDA: Global Democratic Alliance - a hypothetical name
for the organization that replaces the UN (which itself
replaced the League of Nations, and for the same reason).
Membership open only to Democracies.

I have had enough of this Annan puke. Its really time to cut the purse strings.

[Mortikhi]

Well, since the war is 'illegal' I guess we can do pretty much what we damn well please, Mr. Annan.

Now, shut up.

[ALWAYSWELDING]

Annan is a closet terrorist lover. Bet he sends Zarqawi a big knife for Christmas.

[Fithee]

The UN is no longer relevant. It should be ignored for now. It should be disbanded later. Let them move to Brussels or Paris. The socialists and the Islamists deserve each other and they will be at each others throats for the next several decades. The Islamists will eventually triumph over the Euroweenies because the Euroweenies can't get off their ass to protect their families, their countries, or what was once a proud heritage.

We should assemble a group of democratic nations that hold our values and are willing to fight for them. Let the French and its Euroweeny allies slug it out with the Islamists. It is sad to think that the Euroweenies will just cave in to the Islamists and lose it all.

Oh well, they are all girlie men.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has warned leaders of the United States...

Dear Kofi:

Have you people not yet learned the folly of "warning" us of anything? Didya see how we took OBL's "warning"? Are so you clueless that you haven't figured out by now that in American, the word "warning" translates to "double-dog dare"?? Well, you'll find out. Again.

[hershey]

Hey, great idea!

[GeronL]

Kofi chains himself to a tank in protest! A water tank in the UN building

[wizardoz]

Time to pack up the Big Top on Turtle Bay and send Goofy Annan and his circus of clowns

To reprise Marie Antoinette's deathless remark, "Let them fly coach."

[outofhere2]

Kofi, why don't you go in Fallujah and negotiate with Zarquawi and the "freedom fighters"? While you're doing that I'll get the daisy cutter ready. Oh, don't worry, I'll wait for you to come out. Oops, there goes that daisy cutter! Sorry Kofi.

[Trepz]

Will he offer himself as a human shield? (can only hope he would)

Isn't it typical? He's had no condemnation of the terrorists who have been murdering coalition forces and civilians for months, but when the US is ready to eliminate the terrorists, the brain-dead one wants to say no. He'll see once again how little weight his word has.

[lafroste]

Annan's letter underscores a fundamental disagreement between the U.S.-led coalition and the U.N. about how best to bring stability to Iraq.

Based on a historical review of the success of UN policies in other parts of the world (Bosnia, Haiti, and Sudan come to mind), one could argue that one should carefully consider the UN's proscribed approach in order to learn the exactly wrong way to do it, and craft a response as diametrically opposed to the UN's solution as possible.

Obviously then, the best solution is to turn loose the US and Iraqi forces and leave Falluja a smoking pile of ruble.

< /no sarcasm>

[Wonderama]

We really need to get these people OUT of Manhattan. For God's sake, that is prime real estate that could be going to good use. Kick them out and put the UN in Paris. It's as if we let Hitler occupy the Pentagon during WWII.

[irv]

Since the Kofster is involved one might suspect that money is involved

That was exactly my thought. What's in this for Koffi?

[lafroste]

Now there is an organization I could support. I have advocated precisely such a thing myself. GDA sounds like a great idea.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has warned leaders of the United States, Britain and Iraq that another full-scale assault on the rebel-held city of Fallouja would further alienate Iraqis and disrupt elections planned for January.

Then, later in the article...

The world body's officials say Iraq is not secure enough for more U.N. workers to help organize the nationwide vote.

So, in the Alice-in-Wonderland parallel universe of the UN, Iraq is not yet secure enough to have elections but an attack to eliminate insurgent control of Fallujah would disrupt elections???

Which is it, Mr. Kofi Annan? Is Iraq secure enough without an attack or more secure by conducting a successful attack upon insurgents who are already disrupting security in Iraq?

That John Kerry and disgruntled Democrats would look to these corrupt and incompetent bastards at the UN to control the destinies of nations is flabbergasting.

In the same breath, Kofi Annan admits he doesn't know whether to s**t or go blind. He makes a completely contradictory case!
