this will take some time to absorb. so..me 600 pages.
What is it going to take to get us out of the United Nations?
Why would you leave the security of America up to the United Nations.
I personally believe that the oil for food program money help finance the terriorist that did 9/11 in New York
Could someone print it out then scan it in then put excerpts of it on FreeRepublic?
Somebody search "Wyatt" for me, too. Oscar was supposed to be arraigned in Manhattan today. Haven't seen anything about it--anybody else?
Even with the limited stuff here, forget WMD stuff, regime change in Iraq was critical. What's maddening, is this is exactly what the UN was designed to do, yet they've become a different organization from what was envisioned.
The world is poorer for it. Time for a rethink, me thinks.
Approved by the UN for immediate release:
If you can read page 80, this is very bad. No one is supposed to read page 80.
This is not over until someone investigates the investigator.
If they (France and Russia) could have persuaded the USA to lay off Iraq, they would have continued to receive billions in trade via the corrupt UN. And if Iraq had succeeded in backing a proxy terrorist attack against the USA, well, they certainly would have made a strong public condemnation -- while they cried crocodile tears and raked in the cash. George Bush was quite right and extremely courageous to have ignored these bastards -- who could care less about our survival (and who might well wish for our demise, also to promote their selfish and myopic ends).
....lets see here
1) oil for food
2) able danger
NOT covered by MSM like the fake plame "scandal".
double standard?
the dangerous propagandist lying socialist media is at it again.
KPRF (Communist Party of the Russian Federation) has been headed by Gennady Zyuganov...[who] came in second during the Russian presidential elections of 1996 and 2000... Reportedly, in February 2003 [less than a month before the war] Mr. Zyuganov met with Saddam Hussein and upon his return to Moscow called upon Russia to use its veto power in the Security Council to avoid the war... Mr. Zyuganov was involved in monitoring the amount of oil allocated throught the Foundation for Friendship with Peoples of Arab State.
Check out his letter to Tariq Aziz on page 36. Then the next chapter with a name from the past!:
Page 36:
According to Iraqi officials and Iraqi Ministry of Oil records, 73 million barrels were allocated in the name of Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the head of the Liberal Democratic Party of the Russian Federation ("LDPR")... According to Iraqi officials, Mr. Zhirinovsky received oil allocations because it was believed that he would advocate for political positions favorable to Iraq... Currently, Mr. Zhirinovsky holds the position of the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma...
His letter to Iraq follows on page 38, then we get into real estate deals...
...In early 2002, Mr. Zhirinovsky offered to pay outstanding surcharges by transferring the title to a building located in Moscow to the Government of Iraq... The agreement was executed and the transfer of title registered with the authorities in Moscow... The building is reportedly being used by the Iraqi Embassy as a school. After the beginning of military operations in Iraq, Mr. Zhirinovsky reportedly has tried unsucessfully to reclaim ownership of the building... Mr. Zhirinovsky reportedly has claimed the he "did not sign a single contract" and "did not receive a single cent from Iraq."
But enough about the Russian Opposition Parties...
Page 43:
Iraqi Ministry of Oil records show that approximately 4.3 million barrels of oil were allocated in the name of Alexander Voloshin... At that time, Mr. Voloshin served as Chief of Staff in the Administration of the Russian Presidential Administration... When interviewed, Mr. Voloshin denied requesting or receiving any oil allocations from Iraq... Mr. Voloshin stated that the signatures in his name that appear on the letter dated December 19, 2002, as well as the accompanying translation, were "obviously... forged."...
On page 48, it turns into a Tom Clancy novel, talking about how the cash was transported from the Iraqi Embassy in Moscow in diplomatic bags under diplomatic immunity, avoiding searches by Russian customs authorities. It goes on to say the the president of the airline charters to Baghdad also received oil allocations.
Amazing stuff - it's 3:00 a.m., time to rest, but I'll be reading this again tomorrow...!
I see.
Btw, the German media has reacted. It was not only in the ZDF heute journal, the ARD tagesthemen, but also in the print editions of many newspapers. Even Der Spiegel and the Focus have reacted:
http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/0,1518,382043,00.html
http://www.focus.de
By the time I got to Focus it wasn't even in the headline!
By the time I went to Spiegel, I could not see it on their main page or Wirtschafts section. I found the link you gave me, but in todays headlines it's not even a topic anymore, and yesterday it wasn't in when I looked. So it must have been there for a few hours.
Do you see my point here? Of course you do.
A "SHORT" article in Der Spiegel, running a few hours then quickly removed, forgotten, brushed aside. Of course I can guarantee you Abu Gahrib will be running soon again. Big story, with lots of pictures, for several days. It’s what they “want” to see. It’s what many in Germany “want” to see.
Worse yet, Der Spiegel writes of "Many firms" never assigning the blame. They talk in general and tap dance around labeling who would have profited from not going to war and why. The article "minimizes" the importance in all reality and avoids all the significance of this report. Generalizing they basically said, “Iraq made illegal side deals with the Oil for Food program”.
I'm not telling you anything you don't know. I guess it's kind of a surprise that they wrote ANYTHING at all. In Germany the media is even worse than in the US in its pro-left position. I imagine you had to have picked up on all the pictures in Der Spiegel where Merkel was made to look messed up, and their man Schroeder as the dignified world politician. Der Spiegel and the NYT's are in bed together, you must know this too? They share articles even.
Boy, they quickly buried the French sold Roland missiles found in Iraq too, didn’t they? GPS jammers? RPG 22s? SA6 that had been updated by someone somehow? Food for Oil trucks used as military vehicles? Some of the WMD that was found? High election turn outs? Thousands volunteering to be cops or soldiers in Iraq? Billions pumped into humanitarian efforts ranging from schools, electricity, water, sewer, hospitals…..? That’s all stuff that does not fit into their “Zeitgeist”, but Abu Gharib?
BTW, remember all the stories about a lack of electricity to Baghdad? They just faded away, didn’t they? Maybe because the US military did something that is a near marvel of engineering. Provide reliable power (Better than pre war) to a city of 5.6 million and rebuild a power generation grid within months using generators that weigh as much as 300 tons a piece that were so big they had to be moved in sections through the city and be assembled at their end site. Nope, that’s something positive, so it just fades away and never even makes the headline!
Papers like the NYT’s and Der Spiegel report what they want and what their predominately left leaning readers want to hear.

I'm sure this has already been said, but why in the heck is Scooter Libby omitting some testimony about a crime that didn't occur a bigger news story than this?
Sometimes I really feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.
This was supposed to be an humanitarian effort:
that pretty much rules out Heinz products, don't you think?
LOL!
Let us not forget the weapons found by our military in January of 2003 or 2004, can't remember, dementia setting in, were stamped "France", with the year on them... some German... I wish I had the link but I did read it here in Free Republic... I would venture to say another reason they were adamently opposed to the war...
You would think this story would be newsworthy instead of the ad nauseum crap surrounding "Libby" and Rove... over and over... the newsmedia is so lame and forever deceitful.
Yes but when.... first the murder in Aruba, then the whinners in New Orleans, now the "indictment"... we never get this info...
PS
I meant over the airwaves, media....
;) That was great.... and what we always get so the NYTimes can fill in the blanks "their way"....
