Iraq war was illegal, claims Annan
United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan has revealed that he believes the war on Iraq was "illegal".
As if the U.N has any Sovereign Rights over the Governments of any World Nation. As far as I can see, they do not. They are without power.
bq. Mr Annan said the war was "not in conformity" with the UN Security Council or with the UN Charter.
They passed Resolution 1441 which had no uncertain language.
Saddam violated the Resolution
The United Nation's response was to waffle.
bq. He also said there could not be credible elections in Iraq next January if the current unrest continues.
The "current unrest" is the action of some old Baathist-Party members and a bunch of non-Iraqi thugs who do not want to see their gravy-train go away. With any one you ask, the majority of the Iraqi people want democracy and totally support the actions of the Coalition Forces.
bq. Asked if there was legal authority for the war on Iraq, Mr Annan told the BBC World Service: "I have stated clearly that it was not in conformity with the security council, with the UN charter."
Resolution 1441 anyone???
bq. He said there should have been a second UN resolution before the war on Iraq.
And if that one failed, a third.
Put a fscking sock in it Kofi. How about your son Kojo profiting from the Oil for Food scandal at the United Nations.
