#1 Oh, I'm sure the AU can handle it, Kofi. Relax.

#2 Lol, mojo. It is remarkable how absurd a staged "breathless" story can be. One wonders:

a) precisely where has Coffee been for the last few years - the faux-debate over what constitutes "genocide" took place at least a year ago, with absurd results...

b) what does he mean by "immediate", during Coffee's lifetime, or theirs?

c) "support relief"? Heh. What about the means to defend themselves, Coffee?

The UN-DEAD. Institutional farce, scam-central, kleptocracy, cesspit of mankind.

#3 The race goes to the swiftest.
So stay out of races, Kofi...

#4 The region is undergoing the worst humanitarian crisis gripping the planet,"
And what's causing it, Kofi? Who's doing the killing Kofi? What's the underlying problem theme here, Kofi? And everywhere else too? Wanna examine that? Cause there is no ending to the mess without removing the cause. No matter how "massive" the support relief organizations skim is this time around.

What a freaking useless entity is the UN.

#5 Shouldn' that sign say Speed Limit X * Yi to represent an imaginary number?

I mean the UN won't actually do anything - but will want everyone to imagine they had.

(I think that is how an imaginary number is represented. (or is that a complex number....))

#6 Imaginary numbers are complex, CF, heh. Pi is a good choice, except most jihadis do not know pi.
Of course you could set the speed limit to
pi^eieio, which which makes as much sense as Kofi's Plan for Darfur.

#7 TW2412, those are silly questions. Everyone KNOWS it's Bush's fault.

#10 I don't see what the fuss is all about. Kofi will do just like the UN did in Rowanda, Bosnia, Serbia, Masadonia, Somalia, Kosovo, Cambodia,etc... they will blame the US and only go in after the killing is over to feed the rebels who have taken over the refugee camps. This is the UN mandate to feed the winner and then put their leader on the human right commission.

#11 Wow, that's beautiful, 49. A perfect summation that brings a tear to my eye. A keeper.

#12 not a "second to lose"

So why didn't Assnut cut short his holidays when he first heard of the Asian Tsunami? And about Rwanda?

This statement hould be filed under the "Unending Hypocrisy of the UN."

#14 Why can't the head of the UN do anything about Darfur?
