Zebari said the United Nations had failed to help rescue Iraq from "a murderous tyranny" that lasted more than 35 years and "today we are unearthing thousands of victims in horrifying testament to that failure."

I wonder badly Kofi Annan's squirming tonight??

Lord knows the truth hurts, and it's certainly difficult to deny..

I certainly love how Annan has to weigh the risks of committing the UN to a dangerous situation.. He certainly didn't give a crap about leaving it to the US to do the UN's dirty work when it came to enforcing the UN's binding resolutions.

"I need to weigh the degree of risk that the United Nations is being asked to accept against the substance of the role we are being asked to fulfill," Annan said. "I therefore need to know how responsibilities will be allocated and who will be taking what decisions."
