#1 "If the President was given to wit, he would have told Kofi Annan to get it from Saddam..."

No, what the President should tell Kofi is "You have the right to remain silent. If you choose to give up that right..."

Interesting that a reporter breaks this story about 90 days after we dig Saddam and his briefcase out of that septic tank. Interesting too that the story breaks in the Wall Street Journal, which is not known for its muckraking. I wonder what the WSJ's libel lawyers saw that allowed them to clear this story.

#2 Greedy bunch ain't they. Now tell me again whose fault it is that 'children were starving' and 'the Iraqi hospitals had no medicine'. Anyone indicted in this theft should be tried by the Iraqis as accomplishes to Saddam.

And this is the organization in which Kerry would entrust our security and future?

#3 These are just a couple of reasons to rid the U.S. of that bloodsucking body. Imagine the savings! We could invest that into domestic and overseas programs. But alas let's just write the UN another check and watch them piss it away.

#4 Hell, let's keep the UN but locate 'em in Salt Lake City or Live Oak FL.

#5 Matt, Rosett has been on this story for quite a while on the OPED page. I think the true tipping point was not Sadaam's capture but the release of the "naughty" list by the Iraqi Oil Ministry.

Shipman, I have a plan forming in my head to permently increase the UN presence in Rawanda, Somalia or Haiti. I thought of Afghanistan also but dismissed that option as Afghanistan is now our friend.

#6 Better yet a move to Ramstein would work for everyone involved. The airstrip would be helpful to the UN.

#7 Paris.

That way Kofi could be right close to the jihadis he is so in love with.
