Annan sez to jooos : Ignore Hizb'allah violations
2006-08-16
Anticipating Hizb'allah's failure to comply with a UN-brokered ceasefire, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan sent a letter to Jerusalem at the weekend, insisting Israel not respond militarily to any violations of Security Council Resolution 1701, according to The Jerusalem Post.

Annan said Israel should only respond in immediate self-defense, and not by relaunching a wider military offensive against the terror group.

In effect, the UN chief was saying that Israel should totally ignore Hizb'allah efforts to reestablish itself in southern Lebanon and Syrian efforts to resupply the group, and should only respond in a very pinpoint manner to any further firing of missiles at northern Israel. Both the Lebanese military and French forces expected to bolster peacekeepers already on the ground in southern Lebanon have said they will not confront Hizb'allah with force if the terror group fails to go along with the ceasefire terms.

Israeli government sources said Annan's letter was unacceptable, and that a firm response was being drafted.

#18  When I was in sixth grade, I would flip Kofi the bird and say, "sit and spin, asshole".

Actually I'd probably still say it today.

#17  A little kid was asked to tell a story with a moral, and he told the class about his Uncle Bob, who got drunk, killed a man, then broke the arms and legs of several others in the fight. The horrified teacher asked,"What's the moral?" The kid said, "Everybody says you don't mess with Uncle Bob when he's been drinking." The IDF needs a few drinks every time the Hez's fire a rocket.

What is this treacherous maggot smoking? PCP and heroin laced donkey-sh!t cigars? I can hear him now, "Don't take the bait, let them slowly kill off all of your people. Resistance is futile." This @sshole's oxygen consumption license just expired.

#15  Now I knew that the "Please show restraint" message was obligatory, but this is really, really quick to arrive.


Israeli government sources said Annan's letter was unacceptable, and that a firm response was being drafted. Weirdly, I see Kofi being more frightened of the 'firm response' than of real-world action.

#14  Of course they should ignore Hizballah violations! Why, Kofi does it every day, and he feels just wonderful!!

#13  "Israel should only respond in immediate self-defense" Ergo, the complete and total destruction of Hezbollah - those "Pious warriors".

You dropped the ball, Olmert.

#12  No, Kofi has 2 genocides under his belt. Don't forget Dafur (which he is still presiding over.)

I guess everyone has to have a hobby - his is presiding over, and condoning, mass murder of innocents.

#11  Kofi has presided over one genocide already. He is totally not up to the task.

No, no. He's actually quite good at presiding over genocides.

#10  Can someone tell me what the hell this new UN farce force is going there to do officially?

#9  Kofi has presided over one genocide already. He is totally not up to the task. His letter to Israel essentally calls the ceasefire off. The Israelites need to slap him down hard and show him for the utter failure he is.

It appears the ceasefire terms are already being grossly violated. The Israelites need to call it off and continue the desertification of Lebanon. Those in Lebanon who don't wish to be rolled up can start leaving or attacking Hizb'allah.

#8  O.K. I see this is an (ever an optimist) good light. Maybe, just maybe, the "average American" will finally begin to see the U.N. for what it truly is.

In between that, and my thoughts that Iran/Syria/Hezzies will be stupid enough to try and pull off something some blatant that Israel has no choice but to "go postal" on em, I see this one getting hot again before the "peacekeepers" even lay boots on the ground. Add into that, the fact that the French will be leading the way, and that the Hezzies said they WON"T disarm, and the Lebanese and Syrians spewing hate that begins to rival Ahmadinnerjacket's, would someone please pass the popcorn? And, oh yeah, this time Israel needs to finish the job. I just thank God that the Hezzies are such terrible aims with their rockets.

#2  Let's remember that Kofi Annan has assisted to countless UN ceremonies deploring the creation of the Palestinian problem while ever keeping a stone heart about Blacks enslaved and genocided by Arabs in Sudan.

He looks like a Blackl but his heart is Arab.

#1  I got a better idea. Why not strike the UN targets, like Turtle Bay, every time the splodydopes lauch rockets from your positions?
