Excellent article, summing up the treachery of Mr. Kofi. May he soon retire and be doomed to spend the rest of his days in complete anonymity.

p>I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Get the U.N. out of the U.S., and the U.S. out of the U.N. This organization serves no useful purpose in the world, and has been a constant source of mischief in its entire existence. br> -- R. Goodson br> Vero Beach, Florida /p>

It seems to me that Jed Babbin is spot on as regards both Kofi Annan and George Bush. From the time of the George Bush "Mission Accomplished" speech to his re-election, one could take either side of the Bush has gone wobbly debate and argue it pretty well. Since his re-election, George Bush has buried the moderate, almost conservative that stood up to the world. He has not gone completely mushy middle of the road yet, there is still one more election cycle to get through, but he dang sure is working on it. Why, Bush and Rove even support a Liberal Democrat in Connecticut for re-election because they haven't the testosterone to whip a Liberal Republican from Rhode Island into line with the administrations agenda. *sigh*

I listened intently while being told that, after Colin Powell, Condi Rice was going to kick butt and take names at the State Department, that she would whip them into shape for sure. Well, she and George couldn't even get John Bolton confirmed to the UN. Thank Heaven that someone had the stones to give him a recess appointment, maybe he will get another one this year. He and Rumsfeld at the Pentagon, along with two Supreme Court picks,(and he tried hard to mess up one of those) have been the bright spots of this administration for sure.

As for Kofi, I am sure that he will want to end his tenure at the UN on a super high note, so of course he is messing in the stew that is the Middle East. I think that it is beyond doubt that he will over-season the stew and make it inedible. I maintain hopes that Israel will force new elections and get a more credible government on matters of her own security. They need to rehab the IDF, because the next war for them is going to be in the very near future.

p>Oh, one more thing, will you folks please listen carefully to Beverly Gunn. She, too, is spot on. For the first time in a long time, no one in my family is in the military at the moment, so she has the "street cred" to do the instructing. When Presidents ask nothing of the general citizenry, that is exactly what they get. Bush is reaping the fruits of telling America to go about it business as usual while he and our military take care of the mess. br> -- Ken Shreve /p> p> REGISTERING A SHOT
