bq. Iraq is still too dangerous to reopen the U.N. office in Baghdad, Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Wednesday after appointing a replacement for the top envoy to Iraq, who was killed in an August suicide bombing along with 21 other people.
bq. Most U.N. functions in Iraq will operate from a new regional base in Nicosia, Cyprus, with about 40 international staffers in place there by early 2004. There will be a smaller U.N. office in Amman, Jordan, Annan said in a 26-page report to the Security Council.
Gee Kofi, - maybe if you had listened to the Coalition Soldiers in Bagdhad and had them provide your security, this would not have happened.
Instead, Kofi, the U.N. used people they already knew from Iraq. Unfortunatly, these people were ex-Baath party officials who wanted nothing more than to destabilize the Coalition and the U.N. effort.
So don't make it sound like it's the Coalition's fault that Bagdhad is too dangerous - you chose to ignore our proceedures and people...
