#1 I don't why anybody bothers interviewing Annan. He's an unelected bureacrat. He's paid to implement policy, not to make it. He shouldn't be making political statements at all, and they certainly shouldn't be reported since his views are no more significant than any random person off the streets.

#2 Iraq War Spreads Terrorism

Not really, the UN does a fine job of that all by itself.

#3 What kind of brain disorder is it when you confuse cause with effect?

#4 I would sayt that it is the spectacle of scams like Oil for Food and their immunity who spread terrorism. For instance, in the normally moderate and law abiding guy I am, it gets his blood boiling and making him wishing Bin Laden had smashed a plane (full of UN officials) on the UN building.

#5 Mr. Annan told BBC World Service radio that the war was contributing to Muslim anger throughout the world.

Naturally the Muslims can't control their fucking anger, or be bothered to realize that most of the people killed have been murdered at the orders of their own "holy" men.

As for Annan -- why hasn't he been arrested yet?

#6 ...he expected to face blame over the Iraqi oil-for-food program when investigators deliver a report this week.

How about ~~resigning~~ taking responsibility?

#7 He's just pissed because no more Oil-for-Palaces caused a dent in the amount of his kickbacks...

#8 Actually, and rather effectively I might add, Iraq acts to concentrate the terrorists, rather than spread them out. And this is a good thing, giving us the opportunity to obliterate them in one country, rather than having to do it in twenty or thirty countries, and at much greater cost.

By this technique, broad swathes of the planet that would have been haunted by such villains in the years to come, will instead be peaceful and prosperous realms.

#9 So the Iraq war spreads anger in the Muslim world, eh? Well, blowing up the World Trade Center spread some anger in the Christian world. I guess we've all got our beefs.
