#38  Kofi is married to a Swedish Jewess and she probably had a headache the night before he made that statement.

#36  JM, Kofi has been "excusing" the genocide in Iraq so far, but now it's going a little overboard.

#34  Isn't it long past time to tell Kofi that he and his pals should pack up and get the hell out of the US.

#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...

#31  Kofi also mentioned,"...this has played poorly for my retirement planning as well".

#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.

#29  When does the Volcker Commission put out its report on Oil for Fraud?
Posted by: lex   2004-09-16 4:33:43 PM  

#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....).

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

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

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

#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.

#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.

Oh yeah?

U.N. irrelevant, says Rantburgers



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

Please kill yourself, as you are unacquainted with the notion of private property.

#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.

#12  The UN is a joke indeed, but the sad kills the funny.

#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.

#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?
