How the heck could a church (The Russian Orthodox Church received 5 million barrels) receive 5 million barrels of oil? Does someone receive it for them then sell it? I don't get it.... yet anyway. I'm sure some FReeper will know....

As I post this, several days after your question, and with hundreds of posts up, I see no responses listed under your replies. I'm sure someone besides me must have spotted this, and maybe they replied, but I don't see it.

The article states in part:

Fifth, the voucher recipients sold the vouchers to oil traders, who then collected the oil against the vouchers from the Kirkuk-Banias (Syria) pipeline terminal, which was operating in contravention of the Security Council sanctions. The pipeline carried 200,000 barrels per day of Iraqi oil, which benefited Syria greatly.

Somebody replied about a middleman type scheme, which is what I thought since it would be kind of tough to keep that much in the basement of even a church.... :-)

My, my, my......France, Russia and Qatar got the biggest shares of oil. Aren't we a cozy bunch?

One of the common arguments by recipients of vouchers was that the vouchers paid for goods provided in the framework of the U.N.-administered Oil for Food program. However, under the Memorandum of Understanding governing the program, oil allocations were intended for "end users," meaning those with refineries. Most of the voucher recipients would be considered "non-end users." Moreover, if vouchers were used to pay for goods, it would suggest that these were not authorized by the program and should be considered illicit since all contracts approved by the U.N. were reimbursed from the trust account where the oil revenues were kept, at a French bank, at Iraq's insistence. According to the United Nations: "The oil buyer had to pay the price approved by the Security Council Sanctions Committee into a U.N. escrow account, and the U.N. had to verify that the goods purchased by Iraq were indeed those allowed under the program. But the U.N. had no way of knowing what other transactions might be going on directly between the Iraqi government and the buyers and sellers."(8\)

I guess that man that Jessie Jackson gave some oil revenues to here in the states, couldn't be considered an "end user" i.e. no trucks and no refinery...another oil fraud from another slickster..................

Silly girl......this list is infinitely more interesting than the FBI files.

[OldFriend]

You get the right to sell the oil.

Remember Jesse Jackson getting oil rights from the reserves X42 released shortly before the election.
