Thanks Kofi – But No Thanks

February 13, 2005 by Marc

Kofi sees “big hurdles” to UN peacekeeping in Iraq.

Asked if security operations in Iraq could eventually be transferred to the U.N.’s blue-helmeted peacekeepers, Annan said this posed a “real problem”.

“Will the U.N. get the right troops, and the troops they need to go to Iraq to do the right amount of work?” he told a security conference in Munich, Germany.

“You’ve had a very robust presence. If it is going to be followed by a weak, ill-equipped force, it brings its own problems. But of course if the (Security) Council, in its wisdom, were to decide that we go this route, obviously we would have to consider.”

Items for your consideration should be the UN’s total failure in Kosovo, where fives years under UN governance has left the disputed province more deeply divided and hostile than ever. The “real problem” is the “quagmire” this defunct organization has left behind.

My advise, stay the hell out of Iraq and clean your own mess!
