From Questions and Observations, McQ has pulled an article from Yahoo Singapore about one of my favorite organizations (which I do not write much about, cause I get a wee bit emotional), regarding a vote of "No Confidence" in the United Nimrods Shitheads Nations:
UN staff are expected to make an unprecedented vote of no confidence in Secretary-General Kofi Annan, union sources say, after a series of scandals tainted his term in charge of the world body.
Woo Hoo!
Staffers said the trigger for the no-confidence measure was an announcement this week that Annan had pardoned the UN’s top oversight official, who was facing allegations of favouritism and sexual harassment.
Top UN spokesman Fred Eckhard announced on Tuesday that Nair had been exonerated by Annan "after a thorough review" by the UN’s senior official in charge of management, Catherine Bertini.
As McQ writes, "Sound familiar? Much like the oil-for-food program probe I’d say." Yup. Let’s send Kofi back to the wonderful world of Ghana, where he and his son can perform a father/son act in illegal activities. Perhaps they can get involved in the money laundering and trafficking of SE Asian heroin that Ghana is deep into. SE Asian heroin? Read Afghanistan. No wonder Kofi was so reluctant on the the Afghanny operation.
Staffers who asked not to be named, afraid that speaking out could damage their future in the United Nations, said the Nair decision was an example of corruption by Annan and his senior staff.
They noted that Riza, UN undersecretary general for information Shashi Tharoor and other top officials had served directly under Annan at least since 1994, when he was head of UN peacekeeping operations.
At the time, the United Nations was widely criticized for failing to stop the Rwanda genocide that left 800,000 people dead, even though UN peacekeepers were on the ground — a catastrophe for which Annan has publicly apologized.
Doesn’t bring back 800K Rwandans. I say, disband the entire UN and restart it. What would they say? They get most of their operational monies from the USA. (Censored) ’em!
Hope this is true. I think it’d be cool to have Slick Willie as the “ahem” head of the UN.
I know the alot of the right wingers I know hate the idea of Clinton as UN Sec Gen, but, it’s not such a bad idea. If W pushes it, it will satisfy alot of the not so left swing voters and democrats.
