#2 I honestly thought this mess would be the straw that broke the camels back. I plan on being disappointed.
At any rate, the Congress needs to recognize the UN for the blackhole cluster f*** that it is, get us out of it, and organize a council of democracies.

#5 The Bush administration, which earlier backed Secretary-General Kofi Annan in the UN oil-for-food scandal, on Tuesday demanded he be held accountable for mismanagement in the programme.

These guys need to get their message straight. If Goo-fi is going to be held accountable for known "mismanagement" (their words, not mine), then it doesn't make any sense to throw any support to incompetence, as GWB did not too long ago.

#7 I don't want Kofi Annan to resign. Let me say that again - Kofi Annan should not resign, he should not be forced to resign, he should not be ALLOWED to resign.

He needs to be flown from the UN flagpole, just under the flag, by a double-bowline, for 30 days. After that, we'll talk about his "retirement".
