I know this probably breaks the new all Miers/Plame all the time Freeper Code but thought people MIGHT like to know there are OTHER things going on.

Got to wonder at what level the Clintons squeezed out a few dollars, could the library founded upon the little rock have been a beneficiary?

good for you. there is great news in the world - Al Jezzera read the entire 53 page UN report ON THE AIR to tell the ARAB world Syria is a rogue state. The price of oil AND natural GAS have dropped during the past week. Calif. lost 27,000 jobs due to their stupid tax and regulation policies - good news never stops for conservatives.

You sir have seen that there is more to being a conservative than one issue. Thanks for the post and your humor.

Alexander Yakovlev (search), a Russian official in the U.N. procurement department

Russian officials?, Russian KGB-mobsters?, Sadaam/Iraqi-intelligence units?, money and material "laundered" around the world??? The links and common threads have been ongoing since the 1980s; and unchanged after the fall of the USSR.

Democratic nations need to start "off loading" from the United Nations the legitimate international efforts they want to work with each other on and leave the UN to its useless public forum of rogue states, for the press to have something to "report" about.

"IHC has been involved in possibly hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of business with the U.N. since the mid-1990s,"

I wonder how much money they donated to the Clinton/Gore reelection campain???
