#1 Lol! He's become one hell of a camp follower. A week or two after Bush says something - ol' Buttercup realizes he means it and it's going to happen, so we hear an echo. Fucking useless, except for the entertainment value, but he is following the tune. The pretense that he and his kleptoklub have anything, anything whatsoever to do with any of the positive efforts (tsunami) or changes (Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Lebanon, little squeaks of democracy all over the ME, possible coup in Syria, pending removal of Black Hat + nukes, etc.) is, well, it's just precious. Lol! If Dubya decided not to say anything or meet with anyone for a week, Kofi would stumble around in circles -- followed by an army of equally useless MSM wankers.

The UN, as the deleted opinion piece of yesterday itemized, is a pointless burden, a millstone at best, while at worst it is an manipulative impediment which deserves ripping out by the roots and immediate exile to the dustbin of history.

We've learned a lot about what does and doesn't work in such an organization, after 2 tries. Time to begin designing a replacement org with membership rules and goals and methods which actually make sense, given the lessons learned. After we've passed the pipe around the circle a few times, the who what how etc will be fairly clear. We can certainly continue via bilateral agreements and coalition of the willing arrangements in the interim.

Annan and his bloated ineffective expensive bureaucracy should have the plug pulled, feeding tubes removed, and the certificate issued. Stick a fork in it, they're done.

#2 Annan expects full Syrian withdrawal ahead of polls

Who gives a sheet what Goo-fi expects? He's irrelevant.

#3 I like your idea of bilateral agreements and coalition of the willing, .com. The main thing is that they would be agreements on issues that are relavant to all parties. When the issue goes away, so can the bureaucracy, instead of the present system of perpetuating useless organizations that suck up resources like leeches or black holes. And if anyone should have their feeding tubes pulled, it should be the UN bureaucrats.

#5 They should just give the old fellow his pension and wheel him out of the UN and back to whence he came. "Camp follower" about sums it up for the man though I'd add the adjective "reluctant".

#6 Afterwards, Annan was seen making off color jokes of a lewd and lascivious nature about pulling out early and 'isn't Assad a wimp' that had impeached former president Clinton in stitches.
Annan and Clinton quickly regained their composure when someone said that the cameras were still rolling. Red faced and contrite, they appeared to be trying to repair the damage with Prilosec, when the same someone said, after a brief pause, the words "Gotcha!"
Annan and Clinton said later that they were both glad and relieved that they hadn't suffered the old "pies in the face" treatment along with it. Clinton himself admitted it was a pretty good joke, because, in his words. "They hadn't overdone it"
