UN "Reform" 





Per Claudia Rossett today:

Mr. Annan ... deliver(ed) his latest plan for U.N. "reform", by way of a 63-page report stuffed with high-sounding declarations wrapped around dozens of proposals to take most of what the U.N. does wrong, and do lots more of it, with lots more taxpayer money.


Emphasis mine.

How much longer can the world afford to continue giving a free pass to Kofi and the bureaucratic behemoth that muddles along under his stewardship?

Remember his recent comments on revelations that OVER ONE BILLION $$ has been defrauded in the Iraqi oil-for-food scandal:

"We take the allegations seriously, we really do".

Like he was reassuring a child who had complained about verbal bullying, or something.

Not much made of this by the media. Not much heard about it since then, either. Maybe we should just let it go ...
