U.N. Blood Money: Kofi Annan Under Fire — Sun. 9pm ET

Did high U.N. officials receive oil handouts from Saddam? Were secret weapons financed with U.N. blood money? And, the biggest question of all: Where does the buck stop in this scandal? In-depth reports from FNC's Eric Shawn and Jonathan Hunt make this another must-see!

There is evidence that Saddam was actively pursuing as late as August 2003 Ricin to put it in perfume spray bottles to put on shelves in the United States.

I'm unbelievably angry watching this. I can only imagine how angry I would be had a lost a son during the war. Came close and that makes me angry enough.

Just think of all the money John Kerry would have saved us, by closing the Department of State and turning our foreign policy over to Coffee and the UN.

Saddam has told CIA agents that he THOUGHT he was buying favors for oil vouchers. Sevan couldn't explain how $160,000 got in his bank account. He says his aunt (who fell down an elevator and died before investigators could talk to her) didn't have that kind of money.

This is nauseating. Why are we in the UN and why is the UN in the United States? This is a corrupt and criminal organization run by scoundrels. I wonder if that's why Danforth wanted to get out so quickly.

Congressional sources say that Kojo Annan was getting money up until the Iraq war. Congress is investigating one new thing about whether Kojo Annan helped broker a deal to sell Iraqi oil.

Yes it is. I don't know if I should cry or just puke.

Prior to this show, I'd only known Sevan's aunt was now deceased. I did NOT know that the cause of death was falling down an elevator shaft...before investigators could talk to her. Strange...

When you add all of this to the cries of the usual suspects in Congress that we shouldn't go into Iraq without the blessings of the UN (and our friends the French) it truly makes me sick. Thank God for GWB.
Holbrooke? yech!

Exactly. I can't STAND hearing people carp about "no UN approval."

In all of this, one thing has eluded me. Is there any talk about restitution for the Iraqi people from the cretins involved in the scandal? They mentioned on this show that the Iraqi people are the ones who footing the bill for this investigation. What about restitution for the many billions stolen, and the cost of the investigations?

This is the biggest scandal in the history of the modern world, and one of the biggest news stories of the past hundred years, and the stupid MSM press is ignoring it because it doesn't suit their political agenda.

Exactly. The biggest scheme to defraud the entire world that has ever been perpetrated, and you hear nothing about it in the MSM or from the Democrats. And it would not be surprising that if and when the threads are completely unraveled, there's some billionaire financier at the bottom of the whole thing.

This is probably the biggest reason the Left wanted to silence Fox and plow them under, because they knew Fox was going to tell the truth about the U.N.

Well, it certainly is fishy to say the least. And awfully convenient for Mr. Sevan.

I didn't hear it in this program, but someone in the Iraqi Government is going after the U.N. and the money of the Iraqi people. Not sure what the legal complications are with the interim governments etc.

UN reacts to Fox News UN "Oil for Food" Investigation...

Shashi Tharoor - UN Undersecretary

Somethings clearly went wrong. Some of the things weren't true. Money did not go for Saddam arms.

Fox distorting. A lot of good was done under "Oil for Food".


PUKE!!!

Thank God for GWB.

Ditto. When I think of the pain that so many people have gone through with reporting by the liberal media, liberal members of congress, and the idiot lefty psuedo-peace nuts, my blood boils. It honestly does cause pain to have family involved with freeing Iraq with so many Americans jumping on the wrong band wagon.
