Kofi’s Classless Exit

First in an op-ed in the Washington Post and later in a farewell speech, Annan laid out his case for what ails the world. And for the most part, it can be boiled down to five simple words: the United States of America.
The anti-U.S. animus of Annans speech was as clear as it was shocking. It betrayed a deep antipathy for the worlds greatest democracy, and outright disdain for its ideals and sacrifices.
Speaking of the myriad threats the world faces today, Annan took a backhanded swipe at the U.S. when he said: No nation can make itself secure by seeking supremacy over all others....
... But what do you expect? Annans term as secretary-general has been marked by unprecedented fraud, egregious abuses of human rights and a near-total disregard for civilized norms. Nearly alone, the U.S. has called him on it. Thats why the loss of John Bolton as our U.N. envoy hurts so badly...
... He quotes Truman in saying the responsibility of the great states is to serve and not dominate the peoples of the world. To which we ask: Just whom are we dominating? Whats so extraordinary about our power when weve been unable to control a middling country such as Iraq?

I posted a longer version but it was pulled. Will see if this lasts. If Kofi is representative of the United Nations, perhaps it is time to look elsewhere.

Given the pervasive dislike of America prevelant at the U.N., I expect that any day now they will look to move their heaquarters elsewhere.

This freaky Ghanaian has the good life in the West what with his Norwegian wife, offshore accounts and UN pension. I wish this rat would retire to a grass hut in Africa.

I can boil his career down to three words.

Kofi is so arrogant and stupid he failed to recognize the irony of saying this in the Truman Library- "Give-em-Hell Harry" made us (and by proxy, all our allies) supreme over the Axis with two atomic bombs, didn't he?

Kofi is cuckoo for coco puffs.
The UN Iraq resolution was just extended.
- He doesn't believe in enforcing UN resolutions ?
Truman went to the UN on Korea ?
- Why is that a good thing ? we're still there. ?
Hey Kofi, when does the U.S. get relieved in Korea by the blue helmets ? .....

Why would the UN move?
Free parking in NY.
Diplomatic Immunity.
Perfect schools for their children
AND
They don't have to live in the cespools of their home states.

What do you expect from a guy who six months ago was riding a camel and sleeping barefoot on the ground. Anan is a classless, pick pocket, bag man, sleezeball, extortionist; just like the rest of that group at the UN. I hope we cancel his passport on his way out of the country.
