This is a long read and a bit complicated to follow, but really shows just how deep the corruption at the UN was regarding the "oil-for-food" program with Iraq. It sheds some light on just why so much of the UN was so against us invading Iraq...they were getting rich off the suffering of the Iraqi people and the paybacks from their friend Saddam.

Why am I not surprised? There is no wonder the UN didn't support a liberation. Its like the little Tennessee County in "Walking Tall". All the people that should be looking out for the law are on the take.

Will this story be on the evening news with Dan Rather and the others? I think I answered my own question.

"Discovering" the Oil-For-Food scandal...

There was a lot more last year in the WSJ, in an article titled "Kofi Annanderson." One thing interesting here is that bill clinton was probably in this too:

Mr. Maugein, a billionaire with close ties to Jacques Chirac, is a longtime associate of the trader and former fugitive Marc Rich, who fled to Europe in 1983 to avoid answering charges of racketeering, illegal trading and dodging a tax-bill of $48 million. (Mr. Rich was pardoned by Bill Clinton in his final hours in the White House). Mr. Maugein was also a close contact of Tariq Aziz, with whom he met regularly. He is the non-executive chairman of Soco International PLC, a publicly listed London-based petroleum exploration/production company, which goes into markets the majors tend to skip--Mongolia, Vietnam, North Korea, Libya and Yemen.

Note the countries involved. It wouldn't surprise me if good old John F'n Kerry is involved as well, given his French family and Vietnamese business connections.

"if the U.N.'s credibility is to be restored and its role in Iraq and elsewhere trusted."

Hell will freeze over first.
