Annan calls for end to fighting in Lebanon
2006-07-31
UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Sunday repeated his call for an immediate halt to violence between Israel and Hizbullah, condemning an IAF air strike that killed at least 54 people and telling the UN Security Council he was "deeply disturbed" that his previous calls for cease-fire had gone unheeded.

Annan spoke at an emergency meeting of the council which he convened after that IDF air strike in Qana early Sunday. He said the council had a responsibility to demand an end to the violence. "We meet at a moment of extreme gravity first and foremost for the people of the Middle East but also for the authority of this organization and especially this council," Annan said. "Action is needed now before many more children, women and men become casualties of a conflict over which they have no control."

#12  I appreciate the word on JMen...if only he'd get rid of his shift key I wouldn't pass over his rants so quickly.

#11  Hey Kofi, the political wing of the Zionist movement is not responsible for the actions of the military wing.

#10  He's better than a poet, Elder of Zion. He's one of the Guam Mendiolas. ;-) anonymous5089 recognizes some of dear JosephM's more emphatic phraseologies from some of the more obscure sites he's visited on occasion, but the mere mention of some of their philosophies sounds too complicated for me to master. JosephM's interests are catholic in the extreme, and the glimpses of knowledge he reveals are fascinating to one who's lived as sheltered a life as I.

#9  If Kofi is so concerned about this, why isn't HIS ass over there? Why isn't HE roaming around Lebanon? I'm certain that anything that occurred while he was on the ground would be preferred over him continuing to run his mouth and waste perfectly good oxygen from afar.

#4  More years and decades of new or continuing terror attacks, Radical Islamists becoming de facto part of the local Public Govt and eventually the dominant or absolute force in Public Giovernment. Dozens or scores of rockets RPG's and AK47's became 000's, now 0,000's, now soon enuff in LT to become scores or tens of 000's iff not larger, not to mention also larger-sized, longer-ranged, more accurate and multi-/WMD-capable. OLLIE NORTH > challenged Colmes to name him one "ceasefire" which has resulted in bilateral peace, the cessation of rocket, arty, and suicide attacks agz Israel, or was respected /obeyed by the terror groups in Lebanon. ISRAEL = USA > THE BURDEN IS ON SAME, AND ONLY SAME, TO RESPECT AND FOLLOW UN PROTOCOLS, TREATYS AND INTERNATIONAL LAWS, NOT THEIR ENEMIES OR THE TERROR GROUPS. ISRAEL = USA > can be attacked and harmed at any time, but is simul NOT allowed to retaliate or even get angry about anything. NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO MAKE ANY MISTAKE OR ERROR LEST THE BURDEN FALLS ON SAME FOR EVERYTHING. THE STRONG = SUCCESSFUL MUST BE "PERFECT" IN EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING, THE WEAK = LESS SUCCESSFUL CAN BE UNILATERALLY DECEITFUL, VIOLENT, VENGEFUL AND MURDEROUS AT THE LATTER'S CONVENIENCE. WHats the difference between the Army/Garrison or Occupation brothels of Secular Atheistic Communism-Socialism versus the 72 Virgins-Pleasure Slaves of Radical Islamism; between the "Permanent War/Revolution" of the former versus the "Permanent Jihad" of the latter???

#3  "Action is needed now before many more children, women and men become casualties of a conflict over which they have no control."

They had control, just as the Paleos. All they needed to do was reject terrorism and terrorists in their government, in their neighborhoods, in their families. They merely needed to choose freedom and sanity over their traditions of blind self-destructive hate. They failed miserably. They chose this situation. This is the obvious just reward for congenital stupidity.

To be the world's "official" apologist for the terminally insane has been a perfect fit for Annan.

#2  "deeply disturbed" sums Kofi up well

#1  F-U Annan!

What a dickhead. He sat around for *years* while Hez fired missle after missle after missle into Israel to kill civilians. Now that Israel decided to do his job for him he cries.

The dead civilians (if that is what they were) are Hezbollah's fault for firing from civilian areas.
