U.N. & Koffi, continue to twist Americaâs nose
EFL Four months after diplomacy fell apart inside the Security Council over war in Iraq, Annan, his special envoy and members of the newly formed Iraqi group addressed the council Tuesday and discuss both the high and low points of postwar life for Iraqis. The backdrop of the meeting is a toughly-worded report Annan delivered to the Security Council on Monday in which he warned the United States that "democracy cannot be imposed from the outside." Despotism is good enough. "It is important that Iraqis are able to see a clear timetable leading to the full restoration of sovereignty," Annan wrote in his report. No phucing ch!t M-u-s-t control... fist.. of death.. Annan also noted concerns about the U.S. treatment of Iraqi detainees and the failure to improve security in Baghdad. The critical tone of the report was unlikely to help U.S. efforts to win support "We certainly agree that Iraqis should be in charge of their own country and we are working hard to do that and thatâs why the Governing Council is a good first step," said Richard Grenell, spokesman for the U.S. mission to the United Nations. Translation: "Koffi, STFU". Annanâs report offers U.N. help to Iraqis in defining the priorities and policies that will shape the future of the country. But throughout the report, Annan emphasized the importance of Iraqi sovereignty. "There is an overwhelming demand for self-rule and democracy cannot be imposed from the outside." So are efforts are useless we should pack up and head home ? The sky is falling blah blah , if only the UN were involved. Oh Koffi, you give me a headache... (chuck bird). The report also expresses concerns about the living conditions and "precarious security situation" in the capital. Annan also offered the United States assistance in a host of areas including de-mining and police training. But Annan ruled out the possibility of a U.N. police force working side-by-side with U.S. troops. Baghdad Bob or Koffi, which one is a bigger pain in the arse ? Posted by: Domingo 2003-07-22 |
