Once he said that there was no problem with the Oil for Food program, I decided that he was either a lying SOB, or is self-delusionary, neither good qualities in the leader of the UN as it was intended to be.
Looks to me like the place for the UN is going to be in the annals of history, along with the League of Nations.
