Kofi Annan gone sooner rather than later

Drudge has an announcement pending regarding Annan and the UN. Could this be his departure? There is a strong consensus that the UN has failed miserably under his leadership. The recent oil for food scandals are just the tip of the iceberg. The growing list of crimes committed under the auspices of the UN Flag in the Congo will make the Abu Graib silliness pale in comparison. Add all that to the fact that the UN has been ineffective at best in enforcing sanctions and it paints a picture of an organization which has fallen from respectability. The situation has reached a point where just removing Kofi will not be enough. The institution needs systemic changes.
