The United Nations expects to pay more than $100 million to shut down Iraq's oil-for-food program, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Monday.

The council voted last month to lift all economic sanctions against Iraq and to eliminate the program by Nov. 21.

"$100 Million," said Annan, "payable by cash or check."

How much too shut down the UN..?

$100 million to shut down Iraq's oil-for-food program?

Why does it cost anything to end it?

"How much too shut down the UN?"

To much. If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

Answer, $0.00 dollars. Just don't give them any. Out of the UN now!

[ysoitanly]

My thoughts exactly. But then of course, there are always those pesky 'administrative fees'....

Why does it cost anything to end it?

Union workers probably have to pull all the plugs and cancel the Oil for Food procedures.

U.S. State Dept. answer: "The check is in the mail".

OUT THE UN AND GET U.S. OUT!

What procedures? This is BS. Did you see the article that ran here about all the hands in the till? This is probably a pay-off to keep all the leeches from turning each other in.

I can't believe you took me seriously.
