NEW YORK (AP) — Secretary General Kofi Annan’s chief of staff called the United States an “ungainly giant” that only plays by its own rules, criticizing the U.N.’s largest donor in unusually strong terms Sunday.
The U.N. supports dictators that oppress their own people; has often turned a blind eye to genocide; supervised the oil-for-food program from which billions were siphoned off; and has “peacekeepers” that do terrible things to the populations they are supposed to protect. And this U.N. spokesman has the gall, the impudence, to say the U.S. “only plays by its own rules”?
