Kofi Annan's Latest Disgrace
It is time for this man to step down.
Describing UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan as a disgrace is being too kind.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan Says U.S., Britain Share Blame in Oil Funds Scandal
UNITED NATIONS Apr 14, 2005 (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Thursday that the United States and Britain are partly to blame for Saddam Hussein's regime making billions of dollars in illicit money from smuggling oil.
Annan said the Americans and the British could have stopped the smuggling but did not, and most of the money Saddam Hussein made illegally when his country was under U.N. sanctions in the 1990s was from smuggling oil, not from kickbacks under the U.N. oil-for-food program.
"They were the ones who had interdiction, possibly they were also the ones who knew exactly what was going on, and the countries themselves decided to close their eyes to smuggling to Turkey and Jordan because they were allies," Annan said.

WHAT???
This man has no integrity. Kofi's scandal is OUR fault because we didn't stop it?
In his September 12, 2002 address to the UN General Assembly, President Bush asked:
"Will the United Nations serve the purpose of its founding, or will it be irrelevant?"
The UN is not only irrelevant. It is corrupt, possibly beyond redemption.
