good riddance Kofi

In his last speech, outgoing UN chief Kofi (what problems in Africa?) Annan has complained about Bush and his handling of Iraq.  There's a shocker. 
 
Annan summed up five principles that he considers essential: collective responsibility, global solidarity, rule of law, mutual accountability and multilateralism.
 
Is he serious?  Responsibility?  Rule of law?  Accountability?  That's a funny joke, right?  Let's review: oil for food, peacekeepers involved in the sex trade, Darfur, the Democratic republic of Congo's civil war (death toll 3.8M?), the Asian tsunami, and hundreds of other unknown or unreported tragedies.  His record is abysmal and he's a phony.  No, it's worse than that.  His incompetence has cost lives, and he has been unwilling to do the good that was available for him to do.
 
Good bye and good riddance.
