U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who earlier angered the United States and Britain by calling the Iraq war 'illegal,' has upset both nations again -- this time accusing them of allowing Saddam Hussein to enrich himself selling oil outside the U.N.-run oil-for-food program. Mr. Annan set off the latest dispute on Thursday by asserting that Saddam made more money smuggling oil to Jordan and Turkey -- under the noses of the United States and Britain -- than he skimmed from the 1996-2003 U.N.-run oil-for-food program.

Pray, Koffee....
The Case of 1933 Human Flu in 2004 Korean Swine is Not Closed
"Hopefully, when WHO tries to figure out were the 1957 H2N2 was before it was mistakenly mailed to labs around the world, they will not stop looking if they come across a couple of H3N2 samples. One can hope that they do not think that H3N2 in someone's freezer means no one else in the United States has improperly labeled H2N2.
More specifics will be described when WHO puts out their press release with more negative data. However, the bottom line remains. WHO did not find WSN/33 and they did not find H9N2, so they have no rational explanation for the composition of the six isolates from six pigs on six farms in Korea in 2004.
Until they can explain the data (other than hand waving using a disputed shipment of WSN/33 to Korea or up-loads of mistaken files), the case is not closed."
But that's the least of it, isn't it Annan...?
I agree with you on one thing, though, you miserable excuse for a human being. There were Americans and Brits who knew what was going on, some even profiting from it. And those people should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Kofi Annan and Robert Mugabe were each Heinz Distinguished Lecturers.
So what if Annan used his opportunity at the Heinz podium in Pittsburgh in 2003 to criticize Bush? (/sarcasm)
Kofi Annan will chide U.S. in Heinz lecture
So what if Annan got the Heinz Humanitarian Award for making sure that the UN distributed a product manufactured by Heinz? (/sarcasm)
He is right in a way. If the US amd Britain had not invaded and found the evidence, Kofi and crew could still be on the gravy train.

"One significant problem is the anti-Semitism that runs throughout the play."
Enter Amb Bolton.
Licorice: "Licorice reporting for duty.
Great pick up and post. Thanks, syriacus.
Wow. The Widow Heinz's flag."

Unfortunately, Kofi is right. It was official US policy to turn a blind eye to these sales starting with the Clinton administration. Turkey was a NATO ally and needed the oil and Jordan was getting it through widespread smuggling, which ignored the sanctions against Iraq.
So - stop paying 'dues' to an organization which has become irrelevant.
And don't foot the bill for repairs of their free headquarters building. Move it to France. The UN hates us so much, I wouldn't think they would want to stay here anyway.
Kofi, go home!
And that was the least of it...
The worst leader is a crook who won't admit guilt and yet retains the reins of power.
