He would be an excellent diplomat and spokesperson for the UN. Even if you hate the guy, you have to give the man his due as an effective public speaker. He is an excellent communicator, and I think that is a big area where Annan has failed. One big area that would raise red flags is the propensity for scandal and problems to follow Clinton around. Right or wrong, his name got connected to a lot of really bad things, which is a real big problem in the UN right now. With as bad as the view of the US is in the world today, it would be 10 times worse if we sent up a SG to the UN that ended up being just as corrupt as everyone else. Another area of concern is that Clinton would have to be really proactive about pushing reform on the UN, which I am not convinced he would/could do at this time. It is almost better to leave it up to other countries vs it looking like it is coming from a US agenda anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 My impression is that there are few people outside of the United States who view the President as corrupt. A womanizer, perhaps, but corrupt no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_genius Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) Bill Clinton would be a HUGE improvement over Kofi Annan the UN doesn't really mean antything though, so it's all bs. Edited September 16, 2006 by mr_genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilMonkey Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I think Billy could do the job fine. Seriously. He IS an eloquent speaker (when he isn't wagging his finger while lying in the face of the nation). However, I think that he may either 1) go anti-US on his first opportunity to 'prove' that he can be 'fair', or 2) decide something 'fairly' that happens to favor the US and have all hell break loose with the tinpot dictators crying foul.

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 QUOTE(samclemens @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 02:18 PM) DISASTER Disagree. But then I guess all some rouge nation would have to do to get Secretary General Clinton to see things their way is send in some intern/bimbo to park herself under his desk. Hell of a lot cheaper than kickbacks on oil money, thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Truth is, the frontrunner at this time is a prince of Jordan. The next Secretary General will be from the Asian group of nations, of which Jordan is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
