Christian Taliban Attack United Nations |

Neo-cons jump on anti-UN bandwagon
By Jim Lobe
WASHINGTON -
Daunted by setbacks in Iraq and the prospective difficulties in
achieving "regime change" in Iran and North Korea, neo-conservative
hawks have joined the US extreme right in training their sights on a
much weaker target, the United Nations, beginning with its secretary
general, Kofi Annan.
Jumping on reports that Annan's son remained on the payroll of a Swiss
auditing firm hired by the world body to monitor the implementation of
the "oil for food" program in Iraq for four years after he left the
firm, two prominent neo-conservative voices - New York Times columnist
William Safire and the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal -
called on Monday for the secretary general's resignation.
The two columns immediately were seized on by the Rupert Murdoch-owned
Fox News television channel, presumably to draw more attention to the
issue.
It noted that the New York Sun, another Murdoch-owned media outlet,
had broken the story about the US$2,500 monthly payments by Cotecna
Inspections to Kojo Annan that followed his departure from the firm
five years ago.

So NOW the Neocons recognize what Conflict of Interest means?
How...convenient.

But there is no irony in having a GOP senator demand that a world
leader should resign because he screwed up Iraq.

The UN is about due for a shakedown anyway. If it weren't for the
inherent fecklessness, dysfunction and rampant corruption, their
little farce probably be entertaining. But there's nothing funny
about the American taxpayer footing most of the bill for a "world
body" that treats it's chief benefactor with such disdain.
Let the neo-cons have 'em. It will distract them from other urgent
moral imperatives, like legislating homophobia.

But having American die for AWOL's WMD lie and throwing billons of
dollars away in the process is perfectly okay.
