While the Iraqi population was bent over forwards.

So is it still the fault of the USA?
All the starvation of Iraquis under the UN administered Oil for Food and Graft program?

Can we make ammends by disbanding the UN?

The Iraqui's know where their money went and they want the UN to give it up.

And we were supposed to defer to the UN to monitor Saddam's manufacture of WMD's? Would the UN's discovery of WMD's have upset the graft the UN was getting? Or did Saddam tie the kickbacks to the UN's monitoring program? Knowing how easily the UN can be bought, is there any point in trusting it for anything regarding US interests? Even if it were competent, which is another darn good question.

accused the international body of "bending over backwards"

Sounds like the UN bent over forwards.

I hope they wore a condom?

BNP did not meet US Treasury criteria.

But apparently it met Maddy Albright's criteria, since she specifically agreed with the decision to award the contract to this bank although there were two lower bids.

The way the article was written, it just doesn't sound so bad...
