"For Annan, you can't overestimate the deep pain he feels," says one U.N. insider. "His whole world is spinning out of control."

Poor Goofi, I feel his pain. Not.

[freeperfromnj]

If anything, Kofi needs to be held accountable for the misappropriation and mishandling of the oil for food funds.

[ImpotentRage]

I heard on the radio the other day that Kofi Annan was the UN official in charge of the "peacekeeping" mission to Rwanda years ago. The official who agreed to leave that country, thereby leading to the massacre of a "few" hundred thousand people. And he feels pain NOW? The only thing he is pained about is the that he just might be out of a cushy job and just MAY have to return to Ghana.

The oil-for-food program expires May 12. All we have to do is veto it when they try to extend it in the Security Council. (Turn about is fair play.) Meanwhile, the U.N. isn't in the game. We have occupied the ball field, we have in our possession the ball, the bats, the bases and the score board. Kofi and company can opine til they're blue in the face, but WE HAVE CONTROL OF THE OILFIELDS. Does anyone doubt the Iraqis will get a better deal out of oil sales from U.S. supervision than they EVER got from the disgraceful and corrupt U.N. oversight of the sales? France and Russia can suck eggs with Kofi.

The guy's a lawyer...he has no intelligence.

The pain he feels now is nothing compared to the pain he will feel once we issue his arrest warrant on charges of crimes against humanity. With Saddam gone, Annan's prominence rises on the list of world leaders with a massive amount of blood on their hands.

I can't wait until he gets his due.

I didn't even read this post and I have the appropriate answer.

The United nations is a corrupt, immoral terrorist supporting organization, Kofi is a corrupt person and intentionally turning his head. He is on the payroll of all the terrorist nations. Hans Blix is a fool and a disgrace. If a raid were to be performed in all the offices and homes of the diplomats the findings would be astounding. It's now time for the USA to WAKE UP!

GET THE UNITED STATES OUT OF THE UNITED NATIONS AND GET THE UNITED NATIONS OUT OF THE UNITED STATES

Start a new organization of the moral, anti-terrorist nations.

WAKE UP AMERICA THE UNITED NATIONS MUST GO FOR OUR OWN SAFETY.

I will vote for the first politician who runs on this platform.

[Mr. K]

WATCH FOR XLINTOON TO MAKE A MOVE TO BE NAMED HEAD OF THE U.N. !!!!! ( I have been saying this since 1995 )

[DeuceTraveler]

"As one U.N. official put it, the organization's primary strategy for now is "to wait for the U.S. to come to its senses" and decide it doesn't want to reconstruct Iraq alone."

People are always waiting for us to come to our senses. After the Revolutionary War, Britain waited for America to come to its senses and rejoin the Empire. After the French Revolution the French waited for the Americans to come to their senses and join their war against England. Now I get the feeling that people are waiting for the next elections, thinking that Americans will come to their senses and elect a Democrat as President. For a people who think they know everything, foreign elitists just don't understand this culture. We will not seek UN aid in this.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It wasn't supposed to happen this way.

He must have forgotten he wasn't dealing with a Rat president with his pants around his ankles.

>> "His whole world is spinning out of control."

What Kofi didn't understand was that the UN only existed because of the money, the military force, and the effort put into it by the US. All the other contributions by all the other countries were small to minimal in comparison.

When the US, the prime sponser of the UN, was stabbed in the back too many times, it no longer was in the US interest to maintain the UN as a first line organisation. Combine that with a new US president who finally is dedicated to preserving the interests of the US, and the predictable result is the marginalization of the UN.

Wahoo. This is good.

[ARCADIA]

"His whole world is spinning out of control."

Koffi should resign and leave our shores ASAP before we nail him with a criminal indictment. He will forever have his name in the history books as the worthless corrupt slug who finally led the UN to its well deserved death.

[habs4ever]

Kofi's pain is directly related to the lost commission's on the food for oil deals.That fandango needs a major auditing and all trails of wire transfers and credits be investigated.

Alright! Where's the deeply saddened Daschle pic when you need it?

One day as the Little Red Hen was scratching in a field, she found a grain of wheat.
"This wheat should be planted," she said. "Who will plant this grain of wheat?"
The Duck hid the trowel under a pile of trash.
The Cat pooped in the garden and dug it up to bury the mess.
The Dog lobbied for zoning laws to prohibit the growing of grain in the town.
"Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.

Soon the wheat grew to be tall and yellow.
"The wheat is ripe," said the Little Red Hen. "Who will cut the wheat?"
The Duck scraped the scythe against a rock to dull the blade.
The Cat sharpened his claws on the scythe handle.
The Dog argued that weilding scythes was bad for children and other living things.
"Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.

When the wheat was cut, the Little Red Hen said, "Who will thresh the wheat?"
The Duck started pounding on the wheat with a dirty sledge hammer.
The Cat dumped some of the crushed wheat into his litter box.
The Dog thought that the Little Red Hen was asking for "thrash rock", and cranked up the stereo.
"Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.

When the wheat was threshed, the Little Red Hen said, "Who will take this wheat to the mill?"
The Duck let the air out of the Little Red Hen's tires.
The Cat cut up the road map to the mill and taped it together with some pieces backwards.
The Dog insisted that it was bad for the environment to make unnecessary trips.
"Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.

She took the wheat to the mill and had it ground into flour. Then she said, "Who will make this flour into bread?"
The Duck said that the flour had to be made into deep-dish pizza, or nothing.
The Cat approached the flour with a blow torch.
The Dog said that bread was bad for the cardiovascular system.
"Then I will," said the Little Red Hen. And she did.

She made and baked the bread. Then she said, "Who will eat this bread?"
"Oh! I will," said the Duck.
"And I will," said the Cat.
"And I will," said the Dog.
"No, No!" said the Little Red Hen. "I will do that." And she did.
