A matter of semantics

From the linked article,

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Tuesday that recent Iraqi attacks on U.S. and British planes in the so-called no-fly' zone did not constitute a violation of the recently passed tough U.N. Security Council resolution on Iraq.



"Let me say that I don't think the (Security) Council will say that this is in contravention of the resolution that was recently passed," Annan told reporters, speaking in a village near Pristina, the capital of Kosovo, where he is on an official two-day visit.



He most definitely isn't condemning the Iraqis for shooting at our planes. I read that as a tacit acceptance of the action. Like the old song says, "That which you permit, you allow."
