To say that I loathe Kofi Annan is the understatement of the decade. I think the man is the most vile, corrupt, hateful weasel-masquerading-as-a-human I've ever seen (or heard).
His "Ta ta" speech did nothing to assuage my disgust for him. As you can read for yourself, it is so chock full of the most unsubtle insults aimed at not just our President, but at our entire nation, our military included, it would qualify for the rantings of a dillusional if only Annan weren't (surprisingly) sane. In fact, it's his sanity that leads me to detest him so thoroughly. I could forgive a man whose grip on reality really had slipped, but in Kofi's case, it's intentional. He wants us to think he's living in some alternate realm so that he doesn't have to own up to his own ineptitude
Human rights and the rule of law are vital to global security and prosperity," Annan's text said. When the U.S. "appears to abandon its own ideals and objectives, its friends abroad are naturally troubled and confused," he said.Annan, who leaves the United Nations on Dec. 31 after 10 years as secretary-general, has become an increasingly vocal critic of the war in Iraq.
He said in the text that the U.S. has a special responsibility to the world because it continues to have extraordinary power.
Annan summed up five principles that he considers essential: collective responsibility, global solidarity, rule of law, mutual accountability and multilateralism.
He chose the Truman museum for his final major speech in part because it is dedicated to a president who was instrumental in the founding of the United Nations. His text repeatedly praised the Truman administration but never mentioned Bush by name.
"As President Truman said, 'The responsibility of the great states is to serve and not dominate the peoples of the world,'" Annan said.
"He believed strongly that henceforth security must be collective and indivisible. That was why, for instance, that he insisted when faced with aggression by North Korea against the South in 1950, on bringing the issue to the United Nations," Annan said.
"Against such threats as these, no nation can make itself secure by seeking supremacy over all others."
Annan also called for a reform of the Security Council, saying its membership "still reflects the reality of 1945." He suggested adding new members to represent parts of the world with less of a voice.
He said the permanent members, the world powers, "must accept the special responsibility that comes with their privilege.'
"The Security Council is not just another stage on which to act out national interests," he said in another jab at Bush.
In plain English, the dickwad's blaming us for his fuck-ups, and we're letting him!
Yessiree, we let him do it on the hallowed ground honoring my hero, Harry Truman--a man who was surely turning so fast in his grave today, he probably altered the Earth's gravitational pull. The very notion that a man so completely devoid of honor and decency would invoke the name of a man who was the very model of both, in order to not only criticize, but judge the nation Truman risked so much to defend is beyond galling, it is downright PUKE-WORTHY!
And we're saying nothing, officially that is. We have no comeback, no retort, nothing to say in response to this worm.
I can only hope that history will be most unkind to Mr. Annan, and that he will be remembered in infamy, as he so richly deserves.
Go to hell Mr. Annan, you're already on such good terms with the proprietor, I'm sure he'll make you feel right at home.
