Advice to Kofi: Resign NOW

If anyone else did this they'd already be behind bars, but I'd settle for a resignation. Heads have gotta roll from this Oil for Food Fiasco. The first head should be Kofi's. According to Paul Volcker:

Secretary-General Kofi Annan knew about Hussein's corruption of the program and did little to stop the illegal activity, the Sept. 7 report said. Volcker said Annan was informed of kickbacks, oil surcharges and smuggling that allowed Hussein to skim about $13 billion from the Iraqi aid program. He didn't share that knowledge, confront Iraqi officials or take steps within the UN to address the problems, the report said.

Good riddance to Kofi and to all a good night!
