Now, there are a lot of other questions that are, I think, very legitimate. You have a right to ask them; you and the American people have a right to get answers. We are working very hard to comply and get all the requests for information up here, and we will give you as many answers as we can, as soon as we can, at the appropriate time, consistent with our obligation to also cooperate with the investigations. And that's not a dodge, that's really why I've – I've talked with our people. I want to do that. I'd like for you to have more rather than less, sooner rather than later. So we'll work through it as quickly as we can and get all those questions out there to you.

Read that: I am going to roadblock the investigation at every turn with the last resort being trying to bribe the investigators. He already gave Volcker and extra $30 million to "help" with the "investigation."

In related news, the fox pledged to find the real culprit responsible for the mysterious disappearance of half the chickens under his care. Mr. Fox said he was "shocked, SHOCKED that someone or something could perpetrate such a heinous crime."

"We are as determined as everyone to get to the bottom of this. We do not want this shadow to hang over the U.N.," Annan told reporters as he arrived at headquarters. "We are bringing in an independent, tough-as-armadillos-on-a-hot-tin-roof
investigative reporter to get to the bottom of this kerfluffle"
What's the frequency, Kofi?

Something just doesn't feel right anymore about this, in light of Volcker's very own conflict of interest with the UN... it seems to me like he is going to lower the boom on Sevon, and let Koffi off the hook... anyone feelin' me on this as well?

"So we want to get to the bottom of it, get to the truth and take appropriate measures to deal with the gaps,"
I thought it was about 'oil for food' not oil for clothes.
