Kofi’s Classless Exit
Iinvestor's Business Daily ^ | 12 December 2006 | Staff

Posted on 12/12/2006 8:08:46 AM PST by shrinkermd

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 Annan’s speech was as clear as it was shocking. It betrayed a deep antipathy for the world’s 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? Annan’s 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. That’s 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”? What’s so “extraordinary” about our power when we’ve 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.

Just his exit? He's been classless a very long time.

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.

Speaking at the Truman Center where that very president UNILATERALLY dropped the atom bomb on Japan.

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.

Oil for food.

The little LOSER is not only jealous and envious that he has no backbone, but he is also making a lame attempt to cover up his own inadequate reign as a UN person...

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?

Here's to hoping Kofi Anus goes back to the third-world hell-hole from whence he sprang

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.
