Is Kofi Annan so stupid he buys this crap, or is he working for the other side?
TEHRAN, Iran - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wants negotiations on Iran's nuclear program but won't halt uranium enrichment ahead of talks, U.N. chief Kofi Annan said Sunday after meeting with the Iranian leader. Annan's two-day visit to Tehran comes after Iran ignored a United Nations deadline to halt uranium enrichment by the end of August, opening the door to possible sanctions.
"On the nuclear issue, the president reaffirmed to me Iran's preparedness and commitment to hold negotiations" with Western powers to find a solution to the impasse over Tehran's nuclear work, Annan said at a joint news conference with Iranian Foreign Minister Manoucher Mottaki.
However, Ahmadinejad "reiterated that he did not accept suspension before negotiations," the U.N. chief said, conveying Iran's rejection of a condition set by the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany.
Ahmadinejad did not attend the news conference or give any statements. On Saturday — the first day of Annan's visit — he reiterated at a rally that Tehran would continue its nuclear activities.

He is just doing his job. He is not supposed to be on our side. That is Bolton's job.
We need to kick the U.N. out of the U.S.A., let them take 'shelter' in France, Iran, or even North Korea. By the way, these dangerous countries have no business housing their spies in this country under the guise of 'diplomatic officials'. And why aren't our borders sealed 5 years after 9-11? Makes one wonder what the true objectives are.

Anonymous,
It occurred to me that he is only doing his job. But, if his job is to uncritically repeat the bullshit uttered by dictators, then maybe he ought to be ashamed of his job, and he ought to think about getting into another profession.
Would you do what he did here?
