This is the gist of what was picked up and reported on the Sun's online edition yesterday by our Daniel Freedman, who reckons it will be a telling moment for Mr. Annan.

"Or will he throw out the usual ‘blame Israel for the occupation' line that he's all too familiar with? Will he condemn Iran and Syria for their interference in the Palestinian Arab controlled territories, Lebanon, and Iraq, and urge them to end their support for terrorism?

This 'League of Nations Redux' is worthless and every dollar that we send to it is used to undermine, weaken, attack and ultimately destroy us.

I heard that upon retiring from the UN, Kofi plans to change his name to "Billy" and open a Gas Station in Plains, Ga.

Limerick: 
Dear Kofi, Your ugly goodbye  / 
Stuck a stick in the U.S.'s eye.  / 
Were I you, I'd watch out  / 
Lest the crap I did spout  / 
Smeared itself on my pricey silk tie.
