So who did the audits if any were done? Did the Security Council members really sign off on them? Who knew what and when did they know it...?

According to Rush today, the UN gets 2 1/2% of the sales also.

No wonder they don't want the 'program' to stop.

Russia $7.3 billion; France $3.7 billion; China $3 billion.

Kofi Annan $?

"Oil for Food"--The embezzlers got oiled; the Iraqis got starved.

America has been slammed at every turn by the leftist press and maggots from Clooney to Murray.

And the talking clymers refuse to acknowledge the warehouses of food Saddam kept from the people.

Throw Kofi from the train and demolish the UN complex.

Bring over several C-17 Galaxies full of looters and tape the biggest reality show of the season.

"Alright, people, you will be locked up in the UN Plaza for ten days with only diplomats to eat. At the end of that time you can have all the desks, chairs and file cabinets you can carry. Go!"

The UN escrow account currently holds some $10.3 billion earmarked for such items as $437 million of health-related material, $513 million of water and sanitation gear and $1.3 billion of electrical equipment.

There was once a Senator from Alabama or some neighboring state (15-20 years ago), whose son got nailed by the feds on a big dope charge. The senator tried to bribe a fed judge and got caught. His comment after getting caught is perfect for this scenario.

"This is like stirring a bucket of sh!t, the more you stir it, the more it stinks.

President George W. Bush not only took down the Taliban, Saddam's evil dictatorship, but has fully pulled open the curtain that has hidden the truth behind the corruption of the UN.

Is it any wonder if rumors can be believed that the former impeached prez #42 is heard to be interested in running this mobster clan?

We can't let this die! We have to carry on the montra, and GET THIS OUT! How to get the media to reveal this?

Speaking of kickbacks...

1. Do you believe YOUR hard earned tax money should be used by Ithaca officials to fund private development projects- even if they are not, repeat NOT, even commercially viable in their own right?

2. Do you believe YOUR hard earned tax money should be used by Ithaca officials to pressure a productive, law-abiding citizen to abandon his livelihood and business he has painstakingly built over 15 years?

3. Do you believe YOUR hard earned tax money should be used by Ithaca officials to threaten a productive, law-abiding citizen to sell his property to a friend of theirs otherwise they will seize the property using eminent domain?

4. Do you believe YOUR hard earned tax money should be used by Ithaca officials to facilitate the sale of the woman's ownership share in the property WITHOUT her prior knowledge nor permission nor any compensation to her?

5. Do you believe YOUR hard earned tax money should be used by Ithaca officials to fund kickbacks to the perpetrators of illegal acts- i.e. rewarding them for their crimes with YOUR money?

If your answer is no to ANY of the foregoing questions, call the Ithaca officials involved (below) and let them know.

Business as usual for the corrupt UN. America is one of the few countries that actually tries to fight corruption, most people in the world are just fine with it.

Yep, especialy the DemoncRATS...they demand corruption out of their candidates, and "leaders".

Re: the membership of the Sanctions Committee

Hey, backhoe! I have been reading tons of documents since I asked you that question last night. I haven't yet found the answer.

It's interesting that the complaints against the sanctions committee have been directed against the US and UK for our demands for more stringent controls over contracts AND verification of use for the money.

No surprise that leftists were complaining about the sanctions starving the Iraqis and the "obstructionist tactics" of the Americans and the Brits.

I'll keep reading.
