Paul Volcker News Conference Live Thread.
FNC Alert | May 6, 2005

Posted on 05/06/2005 9:54:58 AM PDT by ConservativeMan55

Per Foxnews Alert!

Looks like Kofi Annan may be going down. Foxnews has obtained video tapes of Kofi Annan and Paul Volcker.

There are inconsistencies in Kofi Annan's statements. In other words...he's been caught red handed!

Richard Goldstone? LOL

From this link:

However, Richard Goldstone, another member of the Volcker panel, dismissed reports that Parton and Duncan resigned, protesting conclusions reached by the panel about the UN Secretary-General's involvement.

Note the brightest bulb in the firmament, is he?

Sadly too many people in the US would find Scott Peterson more interesting.

Wasn't Goldstone a DEM talking head on TV during the Monica saga?

I find the "children are at risk" argument particularly offensive since all the years of the embargo, the United States was accused of causing them to die when all along it was THIS BUNCH OF CREEPS.

Arrrg I just switched too.

I tell myself that this type of crap is what pays the bills so that Fox can exist at all.

I can only hope that soon we will watch Annan, Volcker and Goldstone frog marched in single file into prison.

Also since the sexual abuse incidents involving UN peacekeepers doubled in 2004, even in light of what was already known about the problem before 2004 started.

On a Richard Goldstone, from this link:

Richard Goldstone Richard Goldstone is the Chief Prosecutor for the International War Crimes Tribunal.The South African judge was chair of South Africa's Standing Commission of Inquiry regarding the Prevention of Public Violence and Intimidation. The commission conducted at three-year probe into the causes of the South African political violence. He graduated from University of Witwatersrand. He was appointed to the Transvaal Supreme Court in 1980.

Not sure if it's the same guy...Anyone know?

I think that the people at risk are those testifying before the committee. Parton took with him a large volume of documents, despite having signed a confidentiality agreement. This is the crux of the issue that jeopardizes the rest of the investigation. The investigation may as well shut down once they make those documents public, no matter what the documents prove.

Absolutely. The blood of all those who died in Iraq for the 12 years previous to the Bush administration are on the hands of the feckless bastards at the UN.

"CSPAN is the only channel still with this presser. I'm getting the impression the media is trying to cover this up"

You better belive they would cover up it up. If it were up to them the UN would be the world governing body.

Is there "An Idiot's Guide" to this whole mess. I am trying to get it all straight in my head, but am failing.

Could that have been Volcker's goal... to confuse people to the point where they just tune it all out?

People are at risk of going to jail.

Interesting article. I was right all along. The fact that this whole investigation was handpicked by Annan, and shrouded in secrecy, is only evidence that Volcker has been profiting from this whole scandal. I'm taking a wild guess and thinking that Volcker has been sitting on his hands the whole time since this investigation, shrouded in secrecy, started.
