U.N. OIL $$ LINKED TO IRAQI TERRORISTS
New York POST ^ | 7/19/2004 | Niles Lathem

July 19, 2004 -- WASHINGTON — American officials believe that millions of dollars Saddam Hussein skimmed from the scandal-plagued U.N. oil-for-food program are now being used to help fund the bloody rebel campaign against U.S. forces and the new Iraqi government, The Post has learned.

U.S. intelligence officials and congressional investigators said last night that the "oil-for-insurgency link" has been recently unearthed in the numerous probes now under way into the giant U.N. humanitarian program, in which Saddam is believed to have pocketed $10.1 billion through oil smuggling and kickbacks from suppliers.

Congressional investigators have uncovered hundreds of documents ...

I wonder if the names "Heinz" or "Clinton" are on that list, myself.

THIS JUST IN - Some say that Kofi Annan and other at the UN are thinking of
selling some of their 2001 calendars which predicted the 911 ATROCITIES to further help fund terrorists.
These very helpful Islamic calendars actually correctly predicted the month, year, location,
and type of attack IN ADVANCE of the 911 Atrocities.


The UN and Annan and his son, Tojo, were previously busy helping Saddam murder millions:

FLASHBACK -- This Iraqi man is receiving members of his family cut into pieces
and placed in six cotton bags.
These murders were approved by Annan and the UN for decades.


The actual tools used in Saddam's torturing chambers as approved by Annan and the UN for decades.


THE ANNAN FAMILY's WAR FOR OIL - the U.N. Oil company hired Kofi Annan's son, Tojo, who profited from Saddam's treachery and murder."



TOMORROW

the new Iraqi government and congressional investigators believe that hundreds of millions of dollars remain unaccounted for.

And that sounds like a low ball estimate.

And then you have Corrine Brown saying on the floor of the House that the UN should monitor our elections. Maybe the UN should pay some of the terrorists to do that.

It isn't frightening that she said it. It is frightening because people will reelect her. She is the reason that we need term limits.

I think this is what happened to much of Saddam's loot, funding domestic terrorism in order to drive the U.S. out so he could resume control of Iraq later.

Iran is behind much of it as well and is a de facto combatant against U.S. troops in Iraq.

Thanks as usual!

Your downsized UN could be a reality when all of the mass murdering despots are killed or removed from power.

Which is why the UN has never really wanted to remove Castro, the N K's, Iran's mass murdering mullahs and $oddomite from power. When they are dead, in prison or history, the UN's work is done.

DZ, this UN Cartoon would be great for your blog. As you know I have been referring the mullah in control of Iran as the Mass Murdering Mullahs in control of Iran. Simple word pictures like this need to be used on a regular basis. Like President Reagan used the words "Evil Empire" to describe the USSR.
