Kofi Annan is a complete moron
According to Kofi Annan, Syria has agreed to be in charge of enforcing an arms embargo of the terrorist group Hezbollah.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Friday that Syria had pledged to step up border patrols and work with the Lebanese army to stop the flow of weapons to Hezbollah.
Annan also said that he had asked Syrian President Bashar Assad to use his nation’s influence to help win the release of three Israeli soldiers held by Lebanese and Palestinian militants allied with Damascus.
According to Annan, Assad said at a meeting in Damascus that Syria will boost the number of its guards along the Lebanon-Syria border and establish joint patrols with the Lebanese army “where possible.”
Well, talk about the fox guarding the henhouse. Most of Hezbollah’s rockets which were fired at Israel from across the Lebanese border actually came from the Syrians in the first place!
The great majority of rockets fired at Israel came from Syria. They included:
- Grad-type 122mm Katyusha, range 30 km., warhead 30 kg.
- Improved Grad 122mm Katyusha, range 50 km., warhead 30 kg.
- “220mm rocket,” range 70 km (probably Syrian-manufactured Russian “Ouragan” Multiple Launch Rocket System [MLRS])
- “B302″ 302mm rocket, range 100 km, warhead 175 kg. (probably Syrian-manufactured Chinese WS-1 MLRS).
The head of IDF Military Intelligence, Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin, told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on August 24 that with the exception of the long-range Iranian Zelzal missiles, most rockets fired by Hizballah at Israel were taken from the Syrian arsenal rather than from Iran.2 However, debris from an Iranian-made 240mm Fajr 3 with a range of 45 km has also been identified. IDF Chief of Staff Dan Halutz told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on August 16 that Israel was “successful in destroying 90 percent of [Hizballah's] long-range rockets.”3

Asking the Syrians to prevent Hezbollah from rearming itself is laughable, and only a buffoon like Kofi Annan would believe that this deal makes any kind of sense.

I disagree. I don’t think Annan is a moron. He knows exactly what he is doing .That is to hurt Israel in every possible way so that he can curry favor with his buddies in the Arab and muslim world. Crazy like a fox is he.
