More than oil for food, another UN scandal
fox news ^ | 6-14-04 | David Asman

Second Front The United Nations is covering its rear in the oil for food (search) scandal. And now it's engaged on a second front as new evidence is emerging that a U.N. ambulance was used by Palestinian terrorists for their getaway following an engagement on May 11, in which 6 Israeli soldiers were killed. The Israelis have been making the charge for years that the U.N. and Red Cross have been providing cover for terrorists, with American taxpayers footing some of the bill. But now there's evidence to back up the charge. In video shot by Reuters in Southern Gaza, Palestinian gunmen are seen piling into the back of a clearly marked U.N. ambulance in the midst of a firefight. Israel further charged that the U.N. ambulances were used to transport body parts of the Israeli soldiers who were killed. When Israelis leveled the charge, the U.N. denied the incident and demanded an apology. A U.N. spokesman now concedes that armed Palestinians used the vehicle, claiming the driver was forced into service. But Israel's deputy ambassador to the U.N. notes that the driver didn't report the incident until after the videotape was shown. And that's the Observer.

They'll deny it. Just because it is undeniable, doesn't mean they won't deny it.

Why are we still in the UN?

Because virtually every congresscritter in this "Two-Party Cartel" is owned by these elites that run the world. I will guarantee you on my life that if you keep voting for these same pols we will be there until they destroy everything our Founding Fathers gave us. When these pols see that they can't control you in this cartel because you have made a choice to go outside of it & vote the representatives that will vote for OUR interest then & only then will we see our freedoms restored & plus our sovereignity.

As I understand it there are a great many low level UN employees who are very supportive of further in depth investigations.

Sure-- if he's being forced at gunpoint to transport combatants.

It's worse than Asman reports....

Reuters didn't show the video for 2 weeks, Israel Channel 10 finally got a hold of it and showed it.

This video was taken the same day that an Israeli APC was blown up by a roadside bomb.

And why not!!?? It was a clear violation of the purpose of the ambulances. It just goes to show the depth to which these animals will sink, using vehicles whose purpose is to transport wounded to transport combatants.

Now, when Israel blows one to hell and back, picture the uproar over Israels "clear violation" of humane standards.
