A report of Kofi Annan's reaction to one of the findings of the Iraq Survey Group:
Iraq tried to manipulate foreign governments by awarding contracts - and bribes - to foreign companies and political figures in countries that showed support for ending sanctions, in particular Russia, France and China, the final report by the U.S.-led Iraq Survey Group said earlier this month.There you go - 'inconceivable'. For some reason the voice of Nat King Cole comes into my head:But Annan said it was "inconceivable" that Saddam's activities could have influenced policy in the countries concerned.
Inconceivable, that's what it is
Unbelievable, my word, not his... etc
