Nov 3 (Reuters) - The United States asked Secretary-General
Kofi Annan on Wednesday to explain why he cleared U.N.
refugee chief Ruud Lubbers of sexual harassment charges
after a U.N. probe found the complaint valid.
...
U.S. delegate Tom Repasch told the General Assembly's
administrative and budgetary committee that Annan had
"decided that the complaints could not be substantiated
by the evidence and therefore closed the matter."

"The United States would appreciate an explanation
from the secretariat on this apparent contradiction,"
Repasch said.

It's about time we start pressing 'Kofi the Corrupt' for accountability

Kofi's Response:


====== Calendar Ignored by the 911 Commission ==================

The Islamic 911 Attack Calendar available at the UN before 911
distriibuted worldwide by Annan's agents the year before
the terrorists murdered 3000 Americans per hour in the 911 Atrocities.

September 2001 is shown along with the 911 attack months in advance.

Contrast the MSM treatment of this with that of their treatment of Clarence Thomas. More urinalism at its finest.

RE: The Islamic Calendar
No WAY!!! Is this real? If it is, it really needs to be shown to the world. Get it to the MSM (even though they won't show it), Rush, Hannity, Laura, Fox, EVERYBODY!
If this is real, it would be seriously devastating to the UN (a GOOD thing!)
Thanks for posting this.
Oh, if it isn't real, yes, I know gullible IS in the dictionary! :)

Sigh. Needless to say, the two Reuters title words I
searched on; "UN" and "Annan", didn't hit that dupe.

It is real. There were reports from the Netherlands that several Islamic Centers in Europe had distributed copies of the very item prior to 911.

I've been looking for that. Was in WND but searching was tedious! Thanks. Have the WND link handy, by chance?
