Kofi Annan delivers one final bit of nastiness toward the US

And he had the gall, the absolute nerve to do it at the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri, a place dedicated to the man who helped realize the UN as an ideal in the aftermath of the ashes of World War II..an ideal that Kofi Annan has done more than his share to tear down and despoil.

Annan has served ten years as UN secretary-general, a decade that has seen the UN sink to its lowest and most corrupt level ever.

A complete link to Annan's remarks can be found here
.

Annan repeatedly invoked Harry Truman's name, and singled out the United States in urging nations to, in his words, "do the right thing," and "play by the rules."

Mr. Oil-for-food has been a splendid example of what that means.

This corrupt, jumped-up international civil servant actually included this in his remarks:

"..human rights and the rule of law are vital to global security and prosperity. As Truman said, "We must, once and for all, prove by our acts conclusively that Right Has Might."

That is why this country {the US} has historically been in the vanguard of the global human rights movement. But that lead can only be maintained if America remains true to its principles, including in the struggle against terrorism.

When it appears to abandon its own ideals and objectives, its friends abroad are naturally troubled and confused."

One could say the same thing about Kofin Annan's UN.with much more justification.


Good riddance.
