Remember Chimpy McFlightsuit Leaving it all to Brahimi? Well, Brahimi has QUIT.

NEW YORK - Lakhdar Brahimi, the United Nations special envoy to Iraq, announced his resignation from the post at a meeting yesterday of the Security Council and in the presence of Secretary General Kofi Annan. The resignation, brewing for a number of days, shocked the diplomatic community at the world body. Brahimi explained that his decision stemmed from great difficulties and frustration experienced during his assignment in Iraq. He said that he does not intend to return to Iraq. The UN diplomat has still not delivered a letter of resignation but senior UN sources said the secretary general is already exploring possibilities for a replacement.

Fabulous, another victory for "W"incompetence.
