FFS. Teflon bloody Annan. We'll never be rid of him at this rate.
I would like to know one thing he has ever done which is an example of good leadership, or even anything remotely intelligent. Or even anything that is listed in his
job description. Even if he is exonerated of all corruption, and even if his son is too, Kofi is still incredibly inept, and should have been fired for gross incompetence. If I managed my post anything like he did? I would have. Give me his $400k year salary, free palatial home, 24 hour limo, unlimited expense account, and let me do it. Could I be any worse?
This makes me laugh.

The Charter also empowers the Secretary-General to "bring to the attention of the Security Council any matter which in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security".

Oh, like Rwanda (He apologised for that one so it is OK I suppose)
and Sudan? Virtually every news outlet around the world covered that comprehensively before Annan ever mentioned it.

These guidelines both define the powers of the office and grant it considerable scope for action. The Secretary-General would fail if he did not take careful account of the concerns of Member States, but he must also uphold the values and moral authority of the United Nations, and speak and act for peace, even at the risk, from time to time, of challenging or disagreeing with those same Member States.

Like, if the US and UK break international law (I don't think the US did with the Iraq invaison, but the UK certainly did spying on the highest level diplomats at the US' behest), that means you don't do anything, you just whinge about it to the press? I just equate him to a father who doesn't believe in disipline, lets his 143+ kids run amok and just whinges they are like that to everyone else, but won't do anything. He is so out of his depth. I just wish he'd do something constructive. Resign would be a nice start.
