Annan to blast U.S. in farewell

[DoctorDoom]

In a farewell speech on U.S. soil today, retiring United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan plans to deliver a tough critique of President Bush's policies. He will accuse the administration of trying to secure the United States from terrorism in part by dominating other nations through force, committing what he termed human rights abuses and taking military action without broad international support.

Though Annan has long been a critic of the war in Iraq and other Bush foreign policies, the planned speech is among his toughest and is unusual for a U.N. secretary-general concluding his tenure.

Annan's remarks, provided to USA TODAY by his office, list principles for international relations, among them "respect for human rights and the rule of law."

These ideas can be advanced only "if America remains true to its principles, including in the struggle against terrorism," the speech says. "When it appears to abandon its own ideals and objectives, its friends abroad are naturally troubled and confused."Annan to blast U.S. in farewell (http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2006-12-10-annan-cover_x.htm?csp=34\)

Goodbye, Anus. Don't ever pollute the US with your repulsive presence again.

[Maggie_T]

Blast the organization that has been under his administration for years?

Oh, well. I guess he should know.

[Lubbock]

Effing black asshole.

May he rot in hell, and the sooner, the better.

Corrupt bastard. Thief. Liar.

[Patrick Henry]

I hear that Chuck Hagel is introducing him. Hooray! for the GOP!!!

[Wolfcounsel]

I hope Kofi dies from cancer and pneumonia brought on by AIDS.

[DesertFox]

Kofi, you punk, you stole hundreds of millions from America, and now you gonna ack lak America done you wrong?

Hit the road, Jack.

[Beowulf]

Gee, for a guy responsible for the deaths of 10's of thousands of Rwandans, he has room to talk about "human rights."

[Maggie_T]

And as usual, he departs with a slap to the face of the country that hosted him in luxury and safety. He should rot in hell together with that corrupt son of his. :flame:

I really do wish we could get rid of the UN pestilence.

[hdmundt]

Whomever allowed this piece of human trash onto the Truman library grounds ought to be pistol-whipped. (Does anyone know where Kofi plans to make his home? I'm guessing it'll be the bad 'ol USA. Where else can you get away with influence pedaling, incompetence and stupidity on a global scale, and be so highly rewarded for it?) I'm all for shipping this SOB out of the country with the UN itself pinned to his butt.

[The_Sonarman]

I really do wish we could get rid of the UN pestilence.

I have a vision and a dream, to see the US voluntarily removing itself from the UN, and evicting the UN from US soil.

It is patently ridiculous that "we", the USA fund 22% of the annual budget of that group of thugs and criminals.

[Wolfcounsel]

The UN will always be part of America as long as we have elected public skunks making money off of it.

[Bluemoon_Rising]

I'd like to blast the SOB.

[DesertFox]

Well, but whom duzziss surprise? Kofi has been "blasting the US" for years and it woulda been a real letdown if he didn't get in a final cheap shot at the very end, just as the bell sounded, when everybody in creation was expecting it. I mean, he couldn't let down his friends in Russia, France, Africa, China and that other place that I can't pronounce the name of it. I mean, come on, the man's gotta think of his legacy and all while snifting wine on the Riviera and licking Putin's asshole.

Gee, for a guy responsible for the deaths of 10's of thousands of Rwandans, he has room to talk about "human rights."Actually, over a million died in the Rwanda genocide.

Kofi has barrels of blood and fecal matter on his hands.
