United Nations (news - web sites) Secretary General Kofi Annan (news - web sites), under fire for his part in the controversial Iraqi oil-for-food programme, said in an interview with the Financial Times that he did not intend to resign. Seems like Koffee Anna is pulling a Clinton

Let's hope that by hanging around, the spotlight will shine on the ENTIRE corrupt UN and end up abolishing the whole thing.
To: FairOpinion
I have no doubt it will .. and like Clinton .. Koffee will never believe he did anything wrong

"Let's hope that by hanging around, the spotlight will shine on the ENTIRE corrupt UN and end up abolishing the whole thing."
Overseeing the demise of the U.N. would be an appropriate legacy for Koffee. Like killing the goose that laid the golden egg.

If a junior employee was caught stealing something from the till he would be sacked pronto. Do the crime, do the time as they say. The corruption in these ivory towers of delusion is staggering. I spent twelve months traveling around the beautiful apelike of Indonesia in 1998 and 1999. I saw very little presence of the UN where they might be needed.
The imbalances in the world system are really getting out of control. The stability of the universe is founded on truth and justice. People like Kofi Annan with his incredible hubris spin the world out of it's correct orbit even more. There is a breaking point. These greedy, myopic "leaders" of the world are going to reap what they sow in the not-too-distant future.
As Aesop said...
"We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office."

The spell check jumped, in my anger and haste in posting my comment above, "archipelago" came out as "apelike".
Please note this correction.

But we need to continue with our work LOL, of course. There is time for him and his son and the others to make more money.
France and Germany are right there with him.
France is soooo mad at us for going into Iraq, they were about to sell more munitions to Saddam when we burst their bubble.
"Made in France" was stamped on many ordinances that killed our Military.
And now France is sending planes here with bombs on them.

I love the spell checker, it comes with some of the neatest alternatives.
Some are quite apelike...

Yes, sometimes I spell as well as a monkey. Especially when I am trying to do too many things at the same time.
What's that story about chance and evolution regarding a monkey, a typewriter and the works of Shakespeare ?
I've now got monkeys on my brain. I feel like a banana as well...I need a brain-checker at the moment I think.

I wonder how easy it will be for Onan to get fired? I want to see it.
And while we're at it, send the UN to Brussels or someplace.

My 2¢'s about the UN?
Neal Boortz has the right idea- kick them off US soil, plop them down in Haiti, and tell them, "when you get this straightened out, give us a call..."
Moreover:
--Sex abuse charges rock UN in Congo-
-- Interesting this is being posted today. Talk show host Dennis Prager had the Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Doree Gold, on his show today. Mr. Gold has just written a book about the UN called the Tower of Babble(i think this was the title). Some of the things he was saying about the UN were unbelievable.
--TV campaign urging: Kick U.N. out of U.S.-
"I say we just give the entire country of Haiti to the UN."--or move them to Zimbabwe or another country in Africa. Let them see what the really do for the world.
--UN knew of Saddam's oil-for-food thefts: BBC-
The sooner we resign from this corrupt organization and kick them off our soil, the better.

Isa 59:15 Yea, truth faileth; and he [that] departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw [it], and it displeased him that [there was] no judgment.
Zep 3:5b... but the unjust knoweth no shame.
Isa 59:14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
Isa 59:4 None calleth for justice, nor [any] pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
This is what the Lord calls leaders and nations to: Psa 82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
Pro 21:3 To do justice and judgment [is] more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
Bottom line: Eph 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with [his] hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Someday there will be truth and justice in the world. Until than watchmen need to hold leaders accountable. Let's hope and pray people like Clinton and Koffee are held up to a higher standard and if necessary forced by outcry and judgment to step down and if needful be prosecuted by law.

"I think resignation is comparatively easy," Annan told the journalist who asked him if he considered resigning. "It is much more difficult to stay on and continue to do the job you are elected to do, and focus on the important agenda of the organisation and the membership."
He didn't add that it was difficult to receive kickbacks and perks to store in his Swiss bank accounts.

Annan is doing for the UN what Mcauliffe has done for the democrat party. Keep up the good work, Kofi!

Kofi may well be trying to pull a Clinton. But let's not overlook the fact that Clinton essentially took down his entire party with him - He sold out the Democrat's soul.
The UN had even less of a soul to sell out to begin with, so Kofi's hanging on may well be a death sentence of the UN. It's got one foot in the grave already.

Kofi's hanging on may well be a death sentence of the UN. It's got one foot in the grave already. Stay, Kofi, STAY! The longer you are there, the more the UN is discredited!
