I really don't know why we bother to even post any UN stories, save for comic relief, we usually know the answer.

True. You're right, they should have a choice. Leave the US or face the death penalty.

"...the report did not specify how or what work has been done poorly."

Typical Commie thinking. It doesn't matter whether or not the charge is true, it's the seriousness of the charge that's important. This kind of thinking comes about after years of doing recreational drugs.

Why don't we redirect funds away from the UN itself and toward Iraq?

There. Now everyone is happy.

For all the moonbats (not you Mor):

This my friends is the definitive proof that we didn't plan 9-11 ourselves... it would have been the UN.

Inform the DNC and Arab Defense Force -- currently known as the U.N. --- that all reimbursements will follow AFTER a full audit of the U.N. is complete and all funds illegally secured by U.N. employees and member States from the "Oil for Food" program are returned to Iraq.

Until then, they can kiss my hairy ass.

Semper Fi

Apparently there is nothing else happening in the world for the AP to report on.

"The corrupt and totally worthless U.N. trying to appear relevant again. Funny stuff. The sooner we run this anti-America mob out of the U.S., the better off this country will be."

Double ditto. Run them out right after the UN pays back the zillions we've given them over the years. Why, oh why, do we continue to fund those jerks???

Check the report out, if it turns out to be true then have KBR make restitution as necessary.

A U.N. auditing board has recommended that the United States reimburse Iraq up to $208.5 million for contracting work carried out by KBR, a subsidiary of Halliburton, in the last two years.

I assume that a U.S. auditing board hasn't yet been formed to recommend that the U.N. p!ss up a rope and suck the other end.

FYI:

Establishment of the International Advisory and Monitoring Board for Iraq News Release No:2004/124/S

"WASHINGTON, October 24, 2003 – The Heads of the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations and the World Bank are pleased to announce that they have approved the terms of reference of the International Advisory and Monitoring Board (IAMB). This means that the IAMB has been established.

"The purpose of the Board is to promote the objectives set forth in Security Council resolution 1483 (2003) ** of ensuring that the Development Fund for Iraq (DFI) is used in a transparent manner for the purposes set out in operative paragraph 14 of that resolution and that export sales of petroleum, petroleum products and natural gas from Iraq are made consistent with prevailing international market best practices.

"The Heads of the Arab Fund, IMF, UN and World Bank intend to make the appointments of their representatives to the Board forthwith and look forward to the Board's first meeting.
