March 20, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan reversed himself yesterday and said an outside investigation was needed into the mushrooming Iraq oil-for-food bribery scandal, conceding it is "highly possible there has been quite a lot of wrongdoing." Annan's announcement came the day after congressional investigators reported that Saddam Hussein had stolen an estimated $10.1 billion from the U.N.-run program.

They just had some leftish weenie on CNN (who used to work for the UN) debating some conservative reporter babe. The weenie had his panties in a bunch---claiming that the exposure of the "Oil for Food" scandal was:

"A right wing Republican smear campaign by people who wake up in the morning hating the UN!"

The conservo-babe had a great retort--saying:

"There are some good things about the UN---they have a very good coffee shop in the lobby."

Even with the mounting evidence the Dimocrats will not abandon their “There wasn’t a international coalition supporting the Iraq invasion”.

Looks like it's more than just "highly likely"...

Could this have been the reason Novak and the Wilson/Palme thing blew up so fast. A cover up on early reporting of the Oil-money Scam.

We had to spill American blood just because the French wanted to keep its hooks on Iraqi oil. Talk about "blood for oil"!

"Our leader, Abu Annan, says we don't need no stinking end of slavery, rape or our terror
as long as money continues to flow to the French and to Annan's son, Tojo..
So why don't all you dhimmis just give up and surrender NOW, like the French and Spanish already have."


THE FRENCH WAR FOR OIL - the French interest in maintaining Saddam Hussein and his treachery in power was ..... $100 billion

THE ANNAN FAMILY's WAR FOR OIL - the U.N. Oil company hired Kofi Annan's son, Tojo, who profited from Saddam's treachery

Pain in Iraq due to Tojo and Kofi Annan and the French

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Does anyone really think that Oil For Food was the only program where corruption was occurring?

But start with Oil For Food. The Iraqis need their billions back.
