......... An internal United nations AUDIT from 2003 found SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS with the International Organization's oil for Food Program, revealing Millions of Dollars went unaccountable for un der the UN's noses.
..........A company that employed Secretary General Kofi Annan's SON called CONTECNA!!!
In please see:
--- CONTECNA!!---- Comapny Kofi's Son worked for just months before the Swiss-Based company ( that ) was awarded a $ 4.8 MILLION dollar contract for the oil for Food program.
AUDIT CHARGE LIST:
@Contecna: U.N. officials approved $350,000 in " Additional Costs" to the contract just 4 days after the proposition was signed."
@ From $499 to $600 Amendement RAISE in the " Man day fee" charged with in first year of contract--without any repercussions.
@ Contecna and UN officials UDERSTAFFED INSPECTION STATIONS at ENTRY POINTS into / Out of IRAQ, which " affects the perfromance of services / inspections."
@ NO INSPECTIONS ON THE JOB!!!! IN NORTHERN IRAQ/ KURD AREA--Whicj was cheated out of BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in the Oil for Food AID!! due them.
@ $ 9.8 MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT TO...CONTECNA!!!!---was STILL signed by the U.N. even AFTER the submission of the Audit results!!! and STILL just three months BEFORE the iraqi Coalition Provisional Government was suppose to tkae over CONTROL of the program!!!
How did KOFI--sign off on that knowing the AUDIT showed problems--and without informing the Iraqi Council with only three months to go before hand over!!--One LAST Squeezed contract before the house of cards fell???
NEXT PIECE TONIGHT---
'HOW THE OIL FOR FOOD SCANDAL PROVES THEIR WAS NO REAL SUPPORT DUE TO BRIBES --OF BRIBED UN MEMEBERS EVER REALLY SUPPORTING SANCTIONS/RESOLUTIONS AGAINST SADDAM.'
Not only PAY OFFS--but--later when I post more--how CHIRAC went for flipping burgers in France to getting 1.8 million in his private acount in under 8 months--JUST BEFORE he needed it to run and win Presidency.

I am not so sure we should question the authority since this is the organization John Kerry wants to be responsible for our national security. <.sarcasm
:>)
If only there was an Oil for Food program in Sudan.
Oh, and the UN is the moral conscience of the world...sKerry said so.
Frankly I'm tired of all this waltzing around this issue. all I want to see is the list of names, ALL of them.
IMHO, The Oil for Food program was not co-opted after its creation. It was designed to be abused and was always meant to be a money making scheme.
latest article on CNN also indicated Turkey was a major player in the scandal. explains why turkey didn't want to let US forces go through turkey
article yesterday said the UN had set up a panel to approve guidelines for a country's use of pre-emptive action....looks like they are making the rules for kerry's 'Global Test'
how could anyone vote to turn our national security over to a group that hates the US?
I agree. And I am also tired of the indiots running our President's campaign not using this issue. Its pretty simple. While we NOW know that there are no stockpiles of WMD's, we also NOW know that Kerry's plan of leaving things to the UN and sanctions would have made Saddahm STRONGER. The reports out over the past few days have proven this.
Know what bakes my bisket?
These articles AND info has been out since 2001!!
What's the deal??
It has been on all the stations--and shows--NOW it comes out??

That's exactly what Bush needs to do. Reagan had no problem bashing the U.N., plus he refused to pay the dues. It wasn't until I think clinton was in that we started paying again. The U.N. should be put on the list of terrorist organisations and ALL assets frozen, and stop our tax money from supporting them. sorry for the looooonnng sentence.
Gillespie and McAulliffe were on Fox and Friends with Brian this morning, and he brought this up and asked if it should be brought up in the debate tomorrow - Gillespie jumped right in and said absolutely. After missing a beat, a stricken McAulliffe agreed we should get to the bottom of it.
I smell George Soros getting nailed in this before the election.
I hope the bring it up. And while they are at it, when is someone going to have the balls to say what everyone is thinking: "Kerry wanted us to lose in Vietnam, and he wants us to lose in Iraq."
Can someone here Private mail me too--and answer WHY when I tried to use a certain MAJOR NUMBER ONE NEWS cable SHOW--starring THREE GREAT PEOPLE in the Morning..and a Beautiful, talented, Woman ( who also plays Concert piano with her own record out) as their News Person) as a " Link/url--I got this funny "EDIT" note about that it can't be used??
P.P.s--My sister in law has 8 months ( after election unfortunately) left til she retires from a certain Corrupt international organization--and has told me THEY have trying to tell all the news Insti. about these abuses for YEARS and no-one has listened!!

Go to their website.
The email addresses are on the website.
You need to look for Shawn (I forgot his last name) who was investigating this for Fox.
Brian Kilmeads has a blog, I believe.
