"Annan made reference to "the fact that the bulk of the money that Saddam (Hussein) made came out of smuggling outside the oil-for-food program, and it was on the American and British watch." "



OF COURSE!!!! Why didn't I think of that. It's another wascally Karl Rove plot!!

No Kofi you racist POS everything was under your control..

The jig is up Kofi. The United Nations has been exposed for what they are, a socialist dream council answerable to no legal authority composed of wretched backwater despotic nations and their minions that interfere with the affairs of free western democracies under the guise of humanitarianism, and a bunch of money laundering pimps of the lowest order.

No doubt we were complaining for years. The dubious transactions within the O-4-F scandal was buzzed and the US wanted to pursue...by asking the the UN for answers! It wasn't until the papers were in hand we could put Annan in the really-hot seat. He gasping his last breaths.

Yup. It was the AMERICANS who caused Kofi Annan's son to get caught with his hand in the cookie jar. It was the AMERICANS who caused French oil companies to get sweetheart deals from Saddam. It was the AMERICANS who tried to buy off British members of Parliament with oil money to do Saddam's bidding.

If you believe Kofi Annan, I've got a bridge to sell you - it goes from UN Headquarters across the East River to Fantasyland. Any takers?

[conservative in nyc]

By the way, what exactly did Kofi want us to do to stop Saddam's pilfering? Invade Iraq?

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Kofi, you're right.... We LET you into the henhouse....

[hineybona]

Very well put and VERY true........

This is a guy who knows how to get himself canned. That one will do it right there. He's gone.

[citizencon]

Raising a thieving son, was that "on American and British watch" too?

[Brett66]

I'm tired of this blathering,blowhard, bureaucrat/cleptocrat where's a rope?

[nickcarraway]

Huh? He's just waiting for this to blow over, and it probably will.

[hineybona]

Im afraid you're right ..I have a funny feeling this slimeball and his kid will get away with this all.

[Waco]

Comeon Kofi, admit it, Clinton IS involved. The MSM will love you for it. Hee Hee

If you are referring to this remark:

Annan, addressing a meeting on the United Nations and the news media, said of the United States and Britain: "Possibly they were the ones who knew exactly what was going on, and that the countries themselves decided to close their eyes to smuggling to Turkey and Jordan because they were allies."

I couldn't agree more.

He is done, over, finished. Period.

He's getting more and more strident as the days pass; I wondering what's coming.

[Howlin]

Precisely.

He has GOT to go. Soon.

[Howlin]

Very well put. But I want nothing short of the U.S. out of the U.N. and the U.N. out of the U.S... I am starting to think that Kofi should stay to realize this. What could be worse? Clinton replaces him as Secretary General and does a bullsh*t reform and prolongs the U.N.'s existence; that would be a marriage made in hell.

Perfectly phrased SpaceBar. Going to have to save to disk.
