Bingo! Kofi dont have Bingo! But he does have a lot of "splainin" to do.

[Darkwolf377]

Will the libs start tossing around "Liar!" so quickly as they do with Bush, or will we see lots of posts on DU like "Let's just step back and wait for the FACTS to come out, people."?

"We've received e-mails from him a few days ago and he was describing the fact that he was taking fire within, in one case, three meters of his position ‘for tactical necessity — not being targeted,'" Mr. MacKenzie said he wrote.

In one such e-mail, obtained by The New York Sun, Hess-von Kruedener wrote about heavy IDF artillery and aerial bombardment "within 2 meters of our position." The Israeli shooting, he added, "has not been deliberate targeting, but has rather been due to tactical necessity."

This is starting to sound a little more like the truth, not that I expected Coffee to tell it. Jihadist cowards are well known for using innocents and neutrals as their shield.

US out of the UN, UN out of the US!!

Kofi Annan is as useless to the world as the Congressional Black Caucus is to American Blacks.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Read the article. Just what possible f***ing purpose do the U.N. "troops" serve other than as cover for Pezbullah (sic)? They can't stop attacks on Israel, so why not get them the Hell out of the way of the IDF who can manage peacekeeping a lot more efficiently without them?

[highlander_UW]

Kofi lied...people died! Think we'll be hearing this from the left?...don't worry, it's a rhetorical question.

Kofi was going Anti-Semitic on us all. Who would have thought it possible (sarc.)

[goldstategop]

Exactly. The UN post was near a Hezbollah base. But the UN would not bother wait for reports from the field to ascertain why bombs were falling near the UN position. They made up their mind in advance Israel was guilty of deliberately targeting the UN observers without any real proof this was in fact the case. And the facts emerging now have put the lie to Kofi Annan's accusation Israel struck without justifiable cause. If you let Hezbollah terrorists operate in your vicinity, you can end up being collateral damage. They still don't get it up in Turtle Bay.

(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)

"Mr. Annan has called for "immediate cessation of hostilities." During yesterday's council briefing on the UNIFIL incident, Ms. Lute said, "I reiterate" that call."

You can iterate that call all you want sucker.
Not gonna happen.
Your Hizbullah pals are going to continue to get hammered

[Jameison]

Kofi is a craven, dishonest, anti-semitic knave, and he looks just like a he-goat to boot.
The quicker this sucker's sent to pasture, the better for us all.

[Fresh Wind]

UN Spying for Hezbollah

[redgolum]

In other words, hezbolah was using the UN for cover.

[Eddie01]

Involuntary Human Shields? hmmm.

[Chi-townChief]

Why doesn't Kofi just go off somewhere and fade?

[IamConservative]

Like any good socialist, he believes in the power of the accusation without regard to facts.

[mathluv]

They need to read FR. We had that e-mail on here earlier. I bet Tony knew about it, and got the ball rolling.

[mewzilla]

UNIFIL has been aiding and abetting Hezbollah for years. That's why the UN has left it there. So I wouldn't have objected even if Israel had targeted them deliberately.

[auto power]

Why is this idiot still in charge???

Kofi Annan's Hidden Agenda for UNIFIL

[kjam22]

Yeah..... there is a reason why hezbollah let that UN post be there for all those years.
