Money trumps 'humanity'
Washington Times ^ | Tuesday, March 22, 2005 | By Dana Rohrabacher

Posted on 03/23/2005 1:20:41 AM PST by JohnHuang2

The more that is disclosed about the U.N.'s Oil-for-Food "humanitarian" efforts the more it seems the United Nations has nothing to do with "humanity" and everything to do with money. At a hearing before a congressional oversight committee I chair, Rehan Mullick, an employee of the Oil-for-Food program, detailed blatant and visible corruption in the program. Mr. Mullick had the audacity to bring his findings to the attention of his supervisors and even the U.N. leadership in New York. He was promptly demoted and eventually let go. This justifies more than a little skepticism about the U.N. leadership's claim that it is open and ready for reform.

Mr. Mullick found that the United Nations did not report abuses of the program because it feared more economic sanctions from America and Britain that would come at the cost of the Iraqi people.

That stuned my beeber and bent the needle on my BS meter.

The crooks involved campaigned long and hard to keep the baksheesh coming their way, even to the point of trying to stop the war.

Bush outflanked them.

Get the US out of this cesspit of corruption, and get the UN out of the US.
