Kofi Takes Credit for Iraq Vote

I wish this was an invented story by Iowahawk or Scrappleface, but it isn't. Kofi Annan is trying to get the credit for the successful Iraqi elections. The same elections that Annan was calling to be delayed because UN officials weren't able to do their job (oh but they weren't really necessary since the US and the coalition of the willing did all the work for them.

Once again, we've seen the UN try and take credit for work done by the US and its coalition partners without things actually done by the UN. The UN tried to take credit for all the work done by the US Navy mere days after the tsunami hit South Asia on December 26. The UN is still having problems coordinating things though, as some of the donated items aren't even necessary in the affected regions (winter parkas, evening gowns, thongs, and Viagra).
