Kofi is Surprised

Kofi Annan can't believe that his son would have been involved in skimming money from the Oil for Food program:

The United Nations has revealed that the son of the secretary general, Kofi Annan, worked for a company being investigated in the Iraqi oil-for-food scandal for four years longer than he first admitted.
Mr Annan said last night he was "very disappointed and surprised" that his son Kojo had not told him the full story of his links to Cotecna in Geneva.
The oil-for-food scheme allowed Iraq, which was under UN sanctions, to export limited quantities of oil in return for food and medicine. It later emerged that Saddam Hussein diverted billions of dollars from the scheme to bribe officials.


You know what Kofi? I'm surprised when my son takes out the trash without being told. I'm disappointed when my son doesn't listen to his mom. I believe that I would be livid, pissed or even outraged if my child lived large on the backs of desperate people and through his actions Saddam built another palace. I guess the new BMW Kojo gave you last year was not a surprise. You're despicable.
