Cynical Nation

It's all America's fault! Thanks for clearing that up, Kofi.

Annan, addressing a seminar on the United Nations and the media, said most of the money Saddam earned was by oil sold to Jordan and Turkey outside of the $67 billion U.N. program.

Only countries like the United States and Britain had interdiction forces that could have stopped it, he said.

You know, I always gave Kofi Annan the benefit of a doubt and simply assumed he was merely incompetent. I think that was too charitable. The man's an ass.
