#1 Hey Kofi, STFU. Shouldn't you be busy excusing genocide somewhere?

#3 No, Now that the gas has gone out of the TANG issue, the LLLs are reving up their successor to Rather. Just about as much credibility. If he keeps this up, NY and NJ should be strong Bush states.

#7 To paraphrase Andrew Jackson, Kofi Annan's made his decision; let's see him enforce it.

#8 I think in the end everybody's concluded it's best to work together with our allies and through the UN," he said. And you think an accusation of illegality against the US fosters a desire on our part to "work together with our allies and through the UN..."? Does sitting on your a** letting a million people die under Saddam fulfill the UN charter?

#11 Kofi just wants to be "king of the world." He likes the prestige and doesn't like it that the UN is losing power. By making friends with the ex-"president" of Iraq, etc., he hopes to secure his "dynasty."

Despot-leanings all dressed up in Western business attire.

I say: do away with the UN. It's nothing but a joke and a "safe house" for terrorist-lovers.

#13 Morally bankrupt UN officials, why do they hate us?

This goes beyond the pale. As Annan dithers over the slaughter in Darfur, this maggot nonetheless can make time to further interfere with freeing Iraq from a similarly constant death toll. Some 40,000 Iraqis a year died at Saddam's hands and Kofi wants to protest that being stopped.

This is just more proof that the UN serves as a lapdog for those who seek to perpetrate terrorism, genocide, ethnic cleansing and the very worst sort of crimes against humanity. Sudan on the human rights panel, Egypt clamoring for a seat on the security council, the utter inability to unequivocally condemn terrorism. All of this would be a farce if these overpaid and underworked slimeballs didn't take themselves so seriously.

Oh yeah?

U.N. irrelevant, says Rantburgers



Question for GWB: why are you still paying any attention to the UN at all?

#23 Put it in perspective - Annan is a failed politician from a failed state, Ghana. What else can you expect from him? I hope we hear more of this kind of rhetoric from him. The American public needs to understand that the UN is not our friend. Annan's rhetorical incompetence can bring about this understanding and perhaps persuade the Senate to get us the heck out of this international boondoggle.

#24 Annan is right -- IF (and that is a big "if") the UN is some overarching world government to whom the U.S. should have appealed for redress of wrongs.

BUT, that is not the case.

The U.N. governs nothing, has no authority over U.S. affairs, and has proven itself totally ineffective, corrupt, and useful in handling the few tasks given to it. Since the U.N. is not a sovereign to whom the U.S. could turn for redress of wrongs, IT WAS UP TO THE U.S. TO TAKE MATTERS INTO OUR OWN HANDS AND FIND OUR OWN WAYS TO REDRESS THE WRONGS WE SUFFERED. God may judge, the world cannot. That's international law.

#25 errata: . . . and useful in handling . . .

should read: . . . and useless in handling . . .

(although, it's probably been useful to our enemies)

Lets all help him build the New Auschvitz

#28 I think Kofi thinks its illegal because:

U.S. Soldiers dont deliberately target and murder civilians.

U.S. Soldiers dont rape all the women and little girls. Often on the same day they murder their husbands, fathers, brothers, and families (like the profit Muhammad did).

Now if we did all that (like the Islamics do) it would be a perfectly legal war according to Kofi.... (if we were all muslim that is....).

#30 "The U.N. governs nothing, has no authority over U.S. affairs, and has proven itself totally ineffective, corrupt, and [useless] in handling the few tasks given to it."

Also, the notion that only U.N. approval can give "legitimacy" to U.S. anti-terrorist actions is bullshit: we give the U.N. legitimacy, not vice versa. Without us, the U.N. is nothing.

Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but I have fond hopes that once this election is over the U.N. will be told to go fuck itself, permanently.

#33 ...Actually, I think that was Kofi's way of letting Kerry know that if he gets elected and all else fails, he can use the 'illegal war' excuse to bail...
