#1 I didn't even realize yet that I am "confounded" and that the probes are faltering: this is really cutting edge journalism.

#3 The Guardian is whistling past the graveyard. The investigations have just begun. The real fun will start when subpenia and search and seizure powers are excercized.

#4 And now, believes Annan, the opportunity is ripe to win back the middle ground of US opinion it feared had turned against it.

There couldn't possibly be a poorer reading of the tea leaves than this comment.

Kofi had best hope that the tranzi leftists in the US hold enough sway to keep him from getting bit in the ass and the UN run out of the US.

#5 I want to see diplomatic immunity set aside so real investigations can take place by persons without agendas.

Since this source is not unquestionable I will add large grains of salt.

#6 I'd like the investigation to take place by persons with agendas, the Iraqis. Bet they've got some interesting corrobarrating evidence. Perhaps extradition can be arranged after we pick him up.

#7 Or a blindfold and a quick trip to a mysterious white plane...
Bwahahahahaha!

#8 I think JerseyMike nailed it: if Kofi thinks he's going to "win back the middle ground of US opinion," he's outta his mind.

#9 I doubt he thinks he can - or perhaps that meeting with top Democrats a while back convinced him otherwise?

At a minimum, however, he needs to give his supporters enough official cover so they can hold off financial and other punishment.

#10 I'm sure with the help of Ted Turner, Howard Dean, Michael Moore, and the usual suspects from the NYT and Hollywood - Kofi can regain the trust of Red State America. Yeah, about the time Ice Rinks of America opens a branch in hell.
