Annan to US: “RESPECT!”
Kofi Annan decided to give a few words of advice to the “occupying power” in Iraq. You read it right, occupying power. . .
The United States has reacted angrily to comments made by United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan in which he reminded US forces in Iraq of their duties as an “occupying power” in the country.
Making his annual address to the Human Rights Commission in Geneva Mr Annan said he hoped coalition troops would adhere to the Geneva Conventions and accept their responsibility for the safety of the Iraqi people.
Not the same Human Right Commission that Libya is supposed to be chairing, right? Do the folks in the U.N. realize how perilously close they are to having the United States simply withdraw from the U.N. altogether? I don’t know about the rest of you folks, but I am getting pretty fed up with the condescending tone from the Axis of Weasels.
