U.N. Audit Recommends That the U.S. Repay Millions to Iraq

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.

The International Advisory and Monitoring Board of the Development Fund for Iraq said in a report that the work, paid for with Iraqi oil proceeds, was either overpriced or done poorly by the Virginia-based company.

Compiled from an array of Pentagon, United States government and private auditors, the report did not specify how or what work has been done poorly.

Halliburton said its subsidiary had cooperated with the auditing process and that questions raised had to do with documentation rather than the costs incurred by the company. It pointed to findings by the Pentagon's Defense Contract Audit Agency.

I am sorry but the United Nations recommending the United States pay anyone anything is asinine.

These are the same people who allowed the rape, murder, and torture of millions of Iraqis while they were stuffing their pockets with money soaked in the blood of the Iraqi people.

The nerve of these turds!

And what UN army is going to force repayment????

In related news, the US told the UN to roll up their report and stick it where the sun don't shine.


Jackasses.

This auditing board ought to audit the U.N.

Let Micheal Moore pay it back - after all he's a shareholder.

probably upset there was not enough graft for UN officials.

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.

How many divisions does the UN have?

[Morgan in Denver]

Yeah, right after the UN repays the stolen oil for food funds, imprisons the UN leadership, and the US is repaid for our liberating them in the first place.

The U.N. should be relocated to Haiti or some similar location where the "Diplomats" will not be so distracted by the amenities provided at its current location!

[FairOpinion]

How about the UN reimbursing Iraq, the Iraqi people, for all the fraudulent money they accepted from Saddam in the oil-for-food program?

When does the UN start repaying their outright thefts from Iraq and for their corrupt management of the "Oil For Food" program?

Agree. It would seem that the U.N. would feel more at home in some corrupt, third world country.

[evolved_rage]

The UN, the political/legal arm of every country too stupid to build their own civilized nation. F'em!

Ahhhhh.. . .speechless . . .

[Tax Government]

The UN should be moved to a floating barge in the Caribbean.

[Samwise]

Nuts!
