Kofi's Chaos

Now a UN employee is implicated in genocide:

In witness statements obtained by NBC News, one eyewitness says, "Mbarushimana... shot [a man] in the head as he was standing up." Another claims Mbarushimana "told his [men] to shoot them. The people on the ground were all then shot whilst they were sitting down."
Among those Mbarushimana is accused of killing is a woman and other fellow U.N. employees.
"He was a U.N. employee," says Greig. "He abused his position in the U.N. to kill other U.N. workers."
So what did the United Nations do?
After learning of the allegations in 1999, the U.N. kept Mbarushimana on its payroll. In fact, when he was arrested for genocide, he was working for the U.N. in Kosovo — on a project to stop genocide.

It's time to sack Kofi, bring in Havel and give the UN an enema.

Update: The Star-Tribune in Minneapolis Is a bit upset that their junior Senator is calling for Kofi to step dow:

Good old Norm; it appears there's nothing he won't do for a headline, or for his GOP masters. Minnesota's junior senator made quite a splash this week with his call for the resignation of U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, a splendid public servant whom the city Sen. Norm Coleman once governed has considered a semi-native son since his years at Macalester College. Even if he had never set foot in St. Paul, Annan would deserve far better than the stuff Coleman is dishing out.
The ostensible reason for seeking Annan's resignation? It was on his watch that Saddam Hussein diverted billions from the U.N.-run oil-for-food program designed to relieve the humanitarian burden on Iraqis suffering as a consequence of U.N. sanctions.
Note that no one has the slightest whiff of proof that Annan knew about, condoned or profited from this scandal. Furthermore, when the scandal surfaced, Annan appointed former Fed chairman and man of impeccable honor Paul Volcker to thoroughly investigate the matter. Volcker's report, which both he and Annan have promised will be made public, is still a work in progress.

Let's suppose that Annan did not know about the UNSCAM corruption--a big supposition since his son was directly involved--and was not in the loop. Doesn't it speak volumes about his skills as a leader? That the biggest corruption scandal in history was occurring on his watch, without his knowledge, does not speak well of his leadership. But just suppose he didn't know and was not involved, wouldn't the crises happening in Iran, Sudan and Ivory Coast be enough to force him to step down? Another question; how many stories did the Star-Tribune run about George W. Bush and Rathergate with far less evidence than that which has been laid out against Annan?

Update II: Kofi joked about the calls for retirement and presented an award to appeaser Hans Blix.
