Good Riddance


During his farewell address at the Truman Presidential Museum and Library today, outgoing U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan reserved a few cowardly parting shots for President George W. Bush and the war on terror.

Prior to Annan, the U.N. was merely inept and irrelevant. He managed to add incompetence and corruption to the mix. It was only last year that the Independent Inquiry Committee, a U.N.- appointed panel created to investigate corruption in the oil-for-food program in Iraq before the war, rebuked the soon-to-be former U.N. Secretary-General for mismanaging the program and allowing his son Kojo to take advantage of his father's position for personal profit in it.
