A Boston Tea Party …(NOOOOORMMMM!)

Today in the “Wall Street Journal” Senator Norm Coleman has called for U.N. Secretary-General Koffi Annan to resign. The corruption from the oil-for-food program is so extensive that Mr. Coleman believes the only way it can be solved is with the removal of Annan.

The bi-partisan investigation has led to evidence of bribery and kickbacks to officials at the U.N., France, Russia, and Saddam Hussein himself as well as Koffi Annan’s son. Senator Coleman also says that while the U.N. has called for an internal investigation the results of the said investigation are to be reported only to Annan himself. Annan will then decide what if any information is made public. Coleman wants new leadership that will open the books to an investigation without obstacles.

For going public with his demand for the resignation of Koffi Annon, I say “Cheers” to Nooooormmmm Coleman. I only hopes he continues his assult on the integrity of the U.N. It also brings other questions to mind. Will we hear the same demands from any Democrats? Won’t it be interesting to find out how high the corruption goes in the governments of Russia and France? Why don’t the major media outlets report anything about this story? Should America withhold funding to the United Nations to force the resignation of its Secretary-General? The United States pays about 80% of the U.N.’s bills. The louder the voice Norm Coleman brings to this story the more evident it is to understand the why America does not get a fair shake at the U.N. and because of that our soldiers remain at war.
