Kofi Annan is acting suspiciously like a man preoccupied with the hand that is firmly wrapped around the family jewels.
Secretary General Kofi Annan said Thursday that he had decided there were no grounds for disciplining his former chief of staff, Iqbal Riza, who was criticized by the independent committee investigating the oil-for-food program for ordering the shredding of three years of files."While those actions were careless, I do not believe they can be construed as deliberate attempts to impede the work of the independent inquiry committee," Mr. Annan said April 19 in a letter to Mr. Riza that was released Thursday. His reference was to the panel headed by Paul A. Volcker, the former Federal Reserve chairman. "I accept your apology and assure you that I still have great faith in your professionalism and well- known integrity," the letter continued.
I wonder what Riza has on him.
update - Strong World has more evidence.
Iqbal Riza is pure scum and should be executed.His inaction or active resistance too,to prevent genocide is inexcusable.
I bet Paul et al know(s)...
"Cold, Steely Grip" ????????
" Hot, Loving Embrace" of the National Socialist junta perpetrated by Chretien/Martin/ Liberals/Layton/unions.
National Socialism delenda est.(must be destroyed).
Long live freedom and democracy.
It just screams, "We are hopeless, and you are the suckers!" Oh well, no wonder I have become so cynical...
Which is smarter Kofi, or a brick? Doesn't he realize that he is a victim?
A Russian website is posting news that Al-Qaeda posting that OBL is dead.
Check here (Russian)
The above article has generated endless speculation of misinformation, reward seeking, and so on. Wouldn't it be nice if it was true?
The OBL item was circulating yesterday in the US, reportedly from an Arab website. I think the final analysis was that it was false.
OBL I speculate has been dead since Christmas 2001. It was reported in German press at that time that the bunker busting "Daisy Cutter" bomb(s) dropped during the assault of Tora Bora did its job and fataly injured the cretin. It was comforting to read, as reported by the newspaper, that he was crying like a baby begging to be taken to the Americans for medical attention. Too good to be true? I suspect his body was then burned to ashes (probably in disgust) by his entourage.
Well, I hope that's the way it ended for him anyway.
Until his movement is dead and the ideology he promoted is also dead, OBL will never die.
