I don't believe the UN required 16% of this income, audit their books immediately. Next, the Russians have some explaining to do.

Bump!

WOW-
What is your take on this Ivan?

Oil, Food and a Whole Lot of Questions

The Oil-for-U.N.-Jobs Program

Kofi Annandersen: Enron-style accounting at the U.N. Oil-for-Food Program

[lakey]

Didn't our General Accounting Office (GAO) do an audit of the U.N. a few years ago? I recall reading that, while members were required to lease vehicles, they were purchasing them.

In fact, now that I think about it, I brought up this matter with our representative, J.D. Hayworth, at a public meeting. He didn't want to talk about the U.N. His final(and short for a change)say was that he believed "the U.N. had a place..."

Those were the Clinton years, & I'd bet ol' J.D. has changed his tune this year.

I dread the thought of that guy ever becoming governor of Arizona. He should go back to sports casting where blowhards are appreciated.

Of the first buildings secured in Bagdhad was the Ministry of Oil.

Oh what fun the US will have with the documentation that resides within its walls. :)

Audit the UN immediately with the HIGHEST accounting standards. No audit of the UN means no role for them in Iraq. No audit or a lousy audit = criminal prosecution in the Hague. For fraud and everything else that comes to light. F'KofeAnanana.

Personally I believe the UN has been operating a massive and illegal multi-billion dollar slush fund. Tell the UN to shove it.

Ping!

Galloway should be hung by the sporran ...

Did Arthur Andersen work for the UN as well ?

Horse feathers! In all the video that I have watched in the last 40-days, where the heck are clips of starving Iraqi citizens. I sure have NOT seen any bulging bellies!

He's the MP from Glasgow who did everything he could to block Blair from helping us . John Malkovich, bless his soul, said he'd like to kill him.

According to the FOX report I watched, The last three years of the UN Oil for Food program was being monitored by none other than Coffee Cannon! I'd sure like to see his Swiss Accounts!

This report listed the food "items" which indluded an Olympic Stadium. Bus and training facility for the Olympic atheletes (including a torturetorium I bet!). Then there was the TV Studio with a complete Cartoon production facility.

Yeah! UN uber alles!

More on how the Oil for Food Program has been looted and shared by Soddomite and his friends for over a decade.

Besides be irrelevant the UN will be proven to be a den of international thieves carving up this "donation" each year from Soddomite.

No wonder they didn't want us to end this gravy train.

Great Find Ivan, you have been worth what Jim Rob pays you. :)

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks for the update from Fox!

And now some countries don't want sanctions lifted and Oil for Food Program terminated -- understand now -- their money will be drying up!

Now we also know why Kofi Annan wanted to immediately go into Iraq and take over along with France, Germany, and Russia! They wanted the records destroyed! Wonder how much else is going to be found and who it will track to?

[BOBTHENAILER]

Besides be irrelevant the UN will be proven to be a den of international thieves carving up this "donation" each year from Soddomite. No wonder they didn't want us to end this gravy train.

Was there ever a doubt in any of our minds?

[Howlin]

I heard them too -- all day long!

Have you seen that in writing????

[Howlin]

No wonder they didn't want us to end this gravy train.

Here's the best part: The money is all in French banks.

[TUX]

The UN has lost its cash cow and is frantically trying to find another tit.

The oil for palaces fund was under the supervision of Coffee Anal with accounting handled by the French.

W. has shut down the cash cow and to their horrow others in the neighborhood fear for their plush living.

Hopefully Gen. Franks will let the people of Iraq tour the opulent palaces of their former dictator.
