How ironic you should talk of Kofi Annan. Look what was released...Just who do these UN people think they are? We need them out of NYC and now. Baghdad rejects new UN oil-for-food resolution 2 hours, 16 minutes ago BAGHDAD (AFP) - Iraq (news - web sites) rejected a new Security Council resolution renewing the seven-year-old oil-for-food programme under sole charge of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan (news - web sites). "Only Iraq can administer this programme," Information Minister Mohammed Said al-Sahhaf told a press conference in response to the resolution adopted by the council unanimously Friday. "They have made a mockery of the (1995) resolution" which paved the way for the launch of the programme on which an estimated 60 percent of Iraqis now depend for food and medicine, Sahhaf said Saturday. "Any measure which does not involve the Iraqi government cannot be implemented on the ground," he added, in reference to the US-led coalition's failure to secure more than a small pocket of Iraqi territory close to the Kuwaiti border. The latest resolution, 1472, gives the UN chief sole authority for a renewable period of 45 days to make purchases of food and medicine using income from UN-supervised Iraqi oil exports.
