House Panel to Blast Oil-for-Food Program

Fox News ^ | 10/01/04 | Jonathan Hunt

[JRPerry]

Some scathing documents point to what might be some shocking and egregious examples of suspicious activity happening right under the noses of the U.N.'s Oil For Food Inspectors ...

[JRPerry]

Fox New's Jonathan Hunt has the startling details which are condensed as follows:

China, Russia and France stood to profit in the billions and billions by keeping Sadam in power in Iraq.

At a hearing next week Congressional Investigators will lay out a detailed and damning critique of the way the U.N. ran the program.

New evidence of intense corruption that took place under the noses of the U.N. Inspectors ... and the Russians, Chinese and French were complicite in the corruption.

All contained in a memo obtained by Fox.

Companies who stood to profit THE MOST had and have known ties to French President Jaque Chirac.

This is outstanding! Just in time for the elections too. I hope that this will be the nail int he coffin for frenchy fake tanner.

[Uncle George]

France, Germany and Russia all said at once,
"WE THOUGHT IT WAS "FOOD FOR OIL" project.

I would have, except it is not up yet - Fox has not posted it yet. I am breaking it here right off of Neil Cavuto's show. I suspect that the above may be the title used once they go to their net page with it.

Interesting that at least two of these same esteemed Global Test Administrators, France and China, also oppose measures to curb genocide in the Sudan.

There's a .pdf memorandum at the end of Fox article, detailing the issues/witnesses/background for the October 5th House committee hearing appropriately entitled The UN Oil-for-Food Program: Cash Cow Meets Paper Tiger

[JRPerry]

I guess the big question is going to be - will this have some precident setting value in terms of discipline towards a country's president should a global court declare that Chirac committed crimes against the International Community through his actions.

MASTER LIST UN OIL/SEX FOR FOOD SCANDALS

[watchout]

U.N oil-for-food program is directly responsible for the deaths of American soldiers.
And I personally believe that some of this money helped finance the terrorists to do 9-11.

The Korean war, Vietnam, the United Nations are responsible for the deaths of some Americans.

Why we give money and trade with communist and socialist countries is beyond me.

Read Olly North's new book which says Russia, China, France, Germany were selling weapons to Iraq even after President Bush gave orders to go into Iraq a little over a year ago.

I think they have put United Nation personell in command structure of our military, judges, and departments of U.S. governments that make sure we go by international laws.

[JRPerry]

watchout ... you are correct of course but few are willing to admit or accept the facts regarding the U.N. and those four so-called allies you mentioned.
