| Kofi tells Iraq to get bent... Really. |
| 2002-08-07 |
| Iraqi MPs held a special session Wednesday, August 7, to discuss anew U.S. threats to topple President Saddam Husseinâs regime, in the wake of the U.S. rejection of two new arms initiatives and Kofi Annanâs insistence that Baghdad implement Security Council resolutions on U.N. terms. The parliament convened the second such emergency meeting in a month, a day after the U.N. chief told Iraq it must confirm it will comply with U.N. Security Council Resolution 1284, approved in 1999. Kofi? Kofi said that? Careful with that feather! You almost knocked me over... âI look forward to receiving from your government a confirmation that it accepts the sequence of steps outlined above, along with a formal invitationâ to U.N. weapons inspectors, Annan said in a letter sent to Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri with copies to all Security Council ambassadors on Tuesday, August 6. âIt is my sincere hope that a speedy resumption of inspections will help facilitate the resolution of all outstanding issues.â Annanâs letter emphasizes that Iraq must comply with every point of Resolution 1284, especially noting âthe key remaining disarmament tasks to be completed by Iraq.â "Our staff is looking forward to working with you for a speedy resolution of this issue. Otherwise you can expect to find your butt roasted, toasted, on a platter, and surrounded by festive garnishes. Yours truly, Kofi" |
