Get me out of here!

Kofi Annan is in Lebanon for a capitulationist victory tour–only Hezbollah fanatics aren’t cheering. This is the thanks you get, Kofi. Not that you’ll learn anything from it:

United Nations chief Kofi Annan was booed by a crowd chanting pro-Hezbollah slogans on Monday as he toured Beirut’s southern suburbs devastated by Israel’s war against the Shiite militant group.

Dozens of men, women and children angrily waved pictures of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and shouted “Allah, Nasrallah and all of the suburbs” as the UN secretary general emerged from his car to survey the destruction in the heart of the Haret Hreik area, a Hezbollah stronghold.

Others booed and shouted “death to Israel” and “long live Syria” as they surrounded Annan’s convoy of vehicles which was accompanied by a heavy security detail.

Annan was accompanied by Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Siniora, Foreign Minister Fawzi Sallukh as well as Hezbollah members of Parliament.

His visit lasted barely 10 minutes as nervous security officers whisked him quickly out of the area.

Maybe if Kofi explains how UNIFIL broadcast Israeli troop movements, they’ll stop their jeering for a moment.
