What's this mean? Vockler and Rockafella coverup?
I read today the only UN official fired because of the Oil for Food scandal was re-hired.
It is plain to me that the French investigation of Niger uranium smuggling was for the purpose of finding the leaks and plugging them.

Looks to me as though Jay has some 'splainin to do about all this stuff !! Let's watch him have a meltdown like he did with C. Wallace last Sunday on the t.v.
Where does Wilson fit in that matrix? He's gotta be there somewhere.
Of course they did...they initiated the investigation that ultimately led to the forgeries. From a recent post of mine:
The Niger forgery caper began as the result of an investigation by the French into illicit uranium mining and smuggling in 1999 - 2001. Not to defend that scumbag Wilson, but the people he spoke to may not have known about that and probably wouldn't tell him if they did:
European intelligence officers have now revealed that three years before the fake documents became public, human and electronic intelligence sources from a number of countries picked up repeated discussion of an illicit trade in uranium from Niger. One of the customers discussed by the traders was Iraq.Once the forgeries were discovered, everything else was discounted even if it was true.Information gathered in 1999-2001 suggested that the uranium sold illicitly would be extracted from mines in Niger that had been abandoned as uneconomic by the two French-owned mining companies-Cominak and Somair, both of which are owned by the mining giant Cogema-operating in Niger.
"Mines can be abandoned by Cogema when they become unproductive. This doesn't mean that people near the mines can't keep on extracting," a senior European counter-proliferation official said.
But then, what ab out the Clinton/ Marc Rich connections? Scooter Libby was Rich's lawyer. Go figure.
What a coincidence...
Brewster Jennings & Associates was a front company set up by the CIA for Valerie Plame. < snip >
Intended to infiltrate ties between groups involved in smuggling nuclear weapons, it was apparently named after the late Brewster Jennings, who served as president of a predecessor company to Exxon Mobil Corporation.
Good stuff - don't you hate it when apps won't let you spell stuff the way you want and give you the red squigglies?
I think you're right.
Lest we forget, the Canadian PM's relative (son-in-law I think) sat on the board of directors for Total Fina Elf, the largest French-owned oil producer in Iraq.
Good catch and coincidences abound. Please note that Plame's CIA front company's name, Brewster-Jennings, is hyphenated. Brewster Jennings' original company was called Socony-Vacuum, also hyphenated.
Who investigated the Oil-for-food scandal alongside Paul Volcker? Miranda Duncan, the niece of David Rockefeller.The links between Iraq, petrol, uranium and the war are getting closer by the day but someone – not only in Paris – may well have hidden an important part of the story.
A picture of them together can be found at the Trilateral Commission Website

Geez...looks like the all the usual suspects. Book 'em Dano...
