"The scandal has been brewing for years. The first I learned of it was in a New York Times Op-Ed article last April by the journalist Claudia Rosett charging that the U.N.'s secretive oversight of more than $100 billion in Iraqi oil exports and supposed humanitarian imports was "an invitation to kickbacks, political back-scratching and smuggling done under cover of relief operations."




This guy has lost his credibility. He needs to read something else if he wants to stay informed.

That "OIL for FOOD program has been ripping of the people of Iraq for years, and the Clintons and the madwomam Albright knew what was going on.

The U.N. is unsalvagable..
Coffee Anus must be fired, at the very least..
He is incompetent at best, and criminally supportive of our enemies...

Move the U.N. out of the U.S...and the U.S. out of the U.N..

The U.N. can redeem its sullied reputation by helping to shape Iraq's future.

Yeah, let's give this useless corrupt organization an opportunity to be even more corrupt....

May 16, 2003

The United States, United Kingdom, and Spain have jointly put forward a draft United Nations Security Council resolution calling for the lifting of economic sanctions against Iraq and the phasing out of the oil-for-food program. France and Russia have opposed the move, arguing that sanctions should be lifted and oil for food ended only after Iraq has been declared free of weapons of mass destruction by U.N. inspectors and the United Nations has been given a lead role in shaping the future of Iraq.

The Big Question is, Did Kerry take money from Saddam like like other foreign leaders who demanded UN participation in Iraq and continuance of the corrupt Oil-For-Food program such as British Labour MP George Galloway and French Premier Jacques Chirac?
