Kofi Annan - (less than) splendid leader
On Wednesday, September 15, 2004, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan said this about the war in Iraq: "I have indicated it is not in conformity with the U.N. Charter. From our point of view and from the charter point of view it was illegal."
Outrageous! If you were Saddam's defense attorney, who would you call as your star witness?
What does that make the US, Australia, Poland, Italy, the U.K.? Criminals, it would seem. Rogue nations acting against the peace and dignity of the world.
Kofi Annan's declaration of the war in Iraq by the US led coalition and its logical consequence of occupation as "illegal" is ill timed and no more useful in bringing peace than Senator John Kerry's assertions that the US should have not prosecuted the war against Saddam Hussein. Annan and Kerry are playing with the life of million of Iraqi people and with the life of thousands of Americans and that of others in Iraq. This is not the time to demoralize our forces, nor is it prudent to make statements that will be interpreted by the terrorists as a justification to pursue their criminal ends in Iraq as the case happened when the President of the Philippines caved in to the demands of the terrorists by withdrawing her troops from Iraq. -- Dr. Joseph Ghougassian, who served as US Ambassador to Qatar and CPA Advisor in Iraq.
Mr Annan, who enjoys a lavish UN salary, benefits, and pension -- provided in large part by the US taxpayer -- is giving aid and comfort to the likes of Osama bin Laden, Zarqawi the decapitator, and all other islamofascist killers the world over.
With friends like Annan and his myriad UN followers ...
