Annan to visit Syria March 10
2012-03-06
CAIRO — Former UN chief Kofi Annan, who has been named special envoy to Syria for the UN and Arab League, will head to Damascus on March 10, Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi told reporters on Monday.
And you guys will be in big trouble then...
Annan will be accompanied by his deputy, former Palestinian foreign minister Nasser al-Qudwa, on their first mission to Syria, where a government crackdown on dissent has left thousands dead in a year.

The pair are due in Cairo on Wednesday for talks the following day with Arabi, and will fly to Damascus on Saturday, the Arab League chief said.

Annan was last month chosen as international troubleshooter to try to end the conflict. Qudwa was named as his deputy earlier on Monday. Annan and Qudwa are acting under a UN General Assembly mandate as well as Arab League resolutions on the crisis in Syria.

#1  Kofi is there to advise the Syrian Government on how to optimize their body counts and maximize collateral damage.

After his tenure in Rwanda, he's an expert on mass murder and will be of great assistance to Pencilneck.

If I were a rebel in Syria, I would either beat feet for Turkey or wait for the good old UN Incompetence Syndrome to kick in.
