On 03-03-98, ROBERT CRAFT declared to ALL:
RC>Maybe you thought Secretary General Kofi Annan intervened
RC>in the Iraqi situation due to his sense of ethics and
RC>duty... and then maybe you still believe in the Easter
RC>Bunny also.
Hardly ... to either one.
RC>Our own home-grown Dufus has once again given away the store
RC>after being backed into a corner by the Ohio town meeting.
RC>Remember the Senate compromise on UN funding last fall? The
RC>one in which limited payment on our "debt" would be made
RC>contingent upon reform of the UN bureaucracy.
RC>Subsequent to Annan's intervention, the Dufus is now
RC>requesting $1 billion for the UN - $200 million more than
RC>the agreed amount - and the 27 required reforms have all
RC>been shelved.
Care to bet on the Republicans stopping that? - excluding Helms, of
course.
