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!

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.
God Bless your sons and your family. Give them a BIG HUG from my family!
Thanks. Oh Scot Ritter on now.
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.
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...
criminal bump
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!
I wonder if they are going to investigate that for MURDER CHARGES?!
I hope they are checking his bank account!
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?
Marking to read later...
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!!!
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.
