It Can't Be My Fault

By Evelyn Leopold

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) -- U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said on Thursday the United States and Britain bore part of the blame in the Iraq oil-for-food debacle by allowing unsupervised oil exports that Saddam Hussein exploited.

Nice job, Kofi!

However, this is not setting well with the U.S. and Britain, as Nicolas Kralev reports in his article "U.N. chief Annan angers U.S., Britain" in The Washington Times. (Registration required.)

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who earlier angered the United States and Britain by calling the Iraq war 'illegal,' has upset both nations again -- this time accusing them of allowing Saddam Hussein to enrich himself selling oil outside the U.N.-run oil-for-food program.
