Just saw the interview with Kofi Annan on CNN. For three days he was nowhere to be found. It turns out that for the last three days he was very busy on his ski vacation.
This after the New York Times was attacking President Bush for not springing quickly enough into action. This is actually the UN's job. Bush took over - AGAIN - because the UN under Annan - AGAIN - simply is not up to the task.
His excuse was that he could work from anywhere in the world. Right. He's always making excuses. What did he actually do over those three days then?
Now the great Annan has planned a meeting... next week. Wow.
Bush has already done plenty. Sent money. Moblized troops. People are moving.
Kofi Annan has called a meeting for next week.
was John Kerry there too? and how much has mother Teresa (aka Mamma T) donated so far?
"let-them-eat-cake" bump
Ski vacation, huh? According to Cliff May, the UN pays to monitor the snowpack for alpine ski resorts. Meanwhile the residents along the Indian Ocean are without a tsunami warning system.
Did he actually go on CNN after tht pitiful press conference?
Tell me, did he still look so "long in the face" since Bush has completley boxed him out of the "coalition?"
Move the un out of our country.
Probably in the U.S., too.
It was Jackson Hole. His UN plane had to go drag his sorry butt back to NYC.
DUers are still bashing Bush because he is still in Crawford. What is being in the White House going to do for the victims??? Is he going to magically make everything better again by sitting in his chair in the oval office? Sometimes I wonder what planet they are on.
Source? Do we know this for a fact?
Good. Keeping him occupied means he will have less chance to skim aid money.
I completely agree. We have internet, fax, phone, cell, satellites etc etc etc. Why does it not register with the MSM, Eurotrash etc. that GWB can get the job done in Crawford?
Jackson Hole. Figgers.
Source for what?
Do you belive bon mots would make this up?
I agree.....too bad the President did not get the rest he really needs. Plus...where is the outrage on where is OPRAH??? It is her good friend Nate Berkus that is over there...how come she has not been on televison or has raised some $$$!
Oh, wait...somebody posted ALL the UN"s "successes" today.....I'll get them.
BRB.
Q: From where does the leader of the Free World run things?
A: Anywhere he bloody well wants to.
And Sudan....Don't forget Sudan, right Mr. Stingy?
