As if soliciting pre-teen prostitutes, calling Americans stingy, being unable to agree that anti-Semitism is a bad thing, protesting Israel on the behalf of terrorists, accusing the U.S. of human rights violations, biting the hand that feeds it, appeasing Saddam Hussein while failing to help the Iraqi people, making Libya chairman of the Human Rights Commission, failure in the Balkans, failure in Central Africa, giving notorious human rights violators a vote, letting China sit on the Security Council, and failing to enforce their own resolutions weren't enough of a reason to give the United Nations the boot, Secretary General Kofi Annan gives us yet another reason to bulldoze the United Nation's headquarters into the East River:
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who earlier angered the United States and Britain by calling the Iraq war 'illegal,' has upset both nations again -- this time accusing them of allowing Saddam Hussein to enrich himself selling oil outside the U.N.-run oil-for-food program.Maybe the United States and Britain should have unilaterally enforced the U.N. oil embargo.Mr. Annan set off the latest dispute on Thursday by asserting that Saddam made more money smuggling oil to Jordan and Turkey -- under the noses of the United States and Britain -- than he skimmed from the 1996-2003 U.N.-run oil-for-food program.
