Today I am traveling to Brussels to join representatives of more than 80 governments and institutions in sending a loud and clear message of support for the political transition in Iraq.
I was sure of one thing: Annan is guilty as sin in the Oil for Food scandal and he is trying very hard to suck up to America in hope that promise of UN support in Iraq will restrain our calls for his corrupt hide.
But then I forgot the two other things this statement from Annan verifies:
When Kofi Annan tries to claim credit for success in Iraq, it's a pretty good sign of two things: success is unmistakeable, and the UN had nothing to do with it.
So that's three things we know for sure now.
