Annan Warns U.S., Britain, Iraq on Falluja Assault
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20041105/ts_nm/iraq_un_dc&cid=564&ncid=1480

<snip>

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) has warned the United States, Britain and Iraq (news - web sites) that an assault on Falluja could further anger Iraqis and undermine planned January elections, U.N. officials said on Friday.


Annan's warning came in letters to President Bush (news - web sites), British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) and Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi sent late last week, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity.


A U.N. spokesman said the world body would have no comment on the letters.


"We have nothing to say about private communications between the secretary-general and heads of state," the spokesman said.

5. How dare he say one word against the King? Off with his head!
Revelations Uncut. Chapter 2:1

And St. George's heart was hardened against the people of the world, and he butchered 1000's of people in Iraq with a smirk and a giggle. And upon seeing this, St. George's heart was made lighter at the flowing of the blood of children.

And St. George's hypocritical Born Again knuckledragging moron right to lifers cheered the death of babies and women and all the other innocent who died at his behest. And the Lord sayeth, "It is good".

12. Now that their beloved leader has been re-ordained as the head
of the so-called "free world", will the Catholic Bishops and Archbishops that were very vocal in campaigning against Kerry come out and loudly protest against the massacre that is about to take place in Iraq? I guess the people that are marked to die are not human enough to be counted in their campaign for "life". BTW I don't give a damn for the RW religious protestant nuts and their leaders since they have been deranged for too long for me to bother.

11. The UN is irrelevant
Bush declared it thus, and thus it is so. What is Annan seriously going to do?

14. Kofi threatens to send letter certified/return receipt nex time!
and if that doesn't work Kofi will send an overnight letter
for the next warning!!!!!!!!!!!

If that fails Kofi will send an email, and then maybe
an encrypted email.

The U.N. seems to specialize in sending letters.
