#1 Secretary-General Kofi Annan told U.S. national security adviser Condoleezza Rice on Tuesday that the United States is legally responsible for providing humanitarian aid to Iraqis "gravely affected by the war" in areas controlled by coalition forces.

Yes, Kofi, we assume responsibility for humanitarian aid in areas under our control, unlike your UN record. Unfortunately, there are a few hostiles that we have to clean out before we can take care of the rest. So quit grandstanding and lecturing and STFU. We will send you progress reports, typewritten and double spaced, with lots of illustrations from time to time showing you how it is done right.

#2 Nooooo! I posted this without changing the default "file under" setting (really needed to be under "STFU"). The title sucks too. Think I'll go sulk for a while.

#3 Yes, Kofi, STFU. The cuisine is changing from French to American. Oil-for-Weasel-food-and-GPS-jammers is changing to oil for American grain. Bon apetit!

#4 Out of the mouths of blathering idiots....

"Annan said any United Nations role in postwar Iraq beyond the provision of humanitarian assistance must be approved by the Security Council in a new resolution."

How wonderful! We can not only keep the United Nations safely out of Iraq, we can do as we damned well please for as long as we need to. "Without a further UN Resolution". Isn't it just poetic justice that WE can forestall any resolution, just as the fratricidal French threatened to do to any resolution presented by the United States.

We really, really must thank Kofi for this wonderful opportunity. Sometimes, I believe that an IQ below 50 is absolutely essential for a UN Secretary General.

#5 Well, we heart from Kofi. Anyone heard from Blixie lately, pray tell?

#6 You're exactly right, Old Patriot. We have a security council veto and we can use it to further our own "unilateral" agenda just like France and Russia.

Keep those resolutions coming! We got our big, red "STFU" stamp ready!

#8 Kofi, wake up and smell the coffee! It's over! You're done! We don't care what you want or what you say! End of story!

#10 I think that any resolution regarding UN control of Iraq after this war is over should be vetoed by both the US and Britain. Fuck Chiraq and his fellow French parasites who want to take economic advantage after our troops shed blood...

Boycott all French goods!
