"I was slimed."

A former President of the US using such a term.

Says it all.

That's why there's no whistleblowers. The Clintonistas are everywhere and well-timed "accidents" do happen.

Or already have.

I wonder if Goss cleans up the CIA if we'll start to get some whistleblowers? I'm still hoping for indictments against the Clintons.

"... Rich was in Switzerland, though.

So was the commodities brokerage that was in charge of administering the 'Food For Oil' program, and also kept Kofi Annan's son on the payroll.

Nothing would please me more than to see both Clinton and Rich sharing an 8x10 jail cell.

any papers that Kofi has access to

He might keep them, and trade them later for his/his son's freedom.

I guarantee that any papers that Kofi has access to have been shredded.

Shredded, and served in all the cafeterias save for the executive.

Here's a 2001 article from Human Events via WND

The story of Clinton's Marc Rich pardon

Rich and Green had trunks of subpoenaed documents almost out of the country back in 1983.

Finally. The dearth of American names in the OFF scandal was the Dog Not Barking in this affair.

I also hate to say this, but I have a feeling there will be quite a few people on Capitol Hill that won't be too unhappy if this goes no where. Follow the money.

I think you're wrong though I acknowledge that this story is flying amazingly under the rainbow for a tale of such huge consequence.

I'd argue that after the Iraqi election IRAQ will file suit against the UN. I think that's the administration's plan and Iraq as a sovereign country with duly monitored elections is certainly in agreement with it.

I don't think this administration is out to protect anyone no mind the congress critters. Bush does have an amazing mandate no matter how much the libs deny it. There's a plan for the UN and Coleman's little jab at Kofi was a shot across the bow. Kofi's not going to resign because of some American congress critter's threat but hey, you gotta start somewhere. Kofi knows that axe is going fall so long as Bush is President.

Does this mean that the Clinton Library and Massage Parlor was funded from Oil for Food money? The Marc and Denise Rich Wing of the library?

"Is Kofi the type to fall on his sword..."

Kofi is neither the type others would trust with a sword, nor the type capable of lifting one.

There's no possibility of his having a sword to fall upon, nor even of his understanding the concept if it were explained to him.

what the hell is the UN doing in U.S. soil? we pay 22% of the fees and all we get is bashing from them. they're just sucking up the oxygen. Koffi Anan is of clintonian dimensions. He's not going away because alot of U.N. powerplayers had their hands in deep for the Oil for Food program. We know who you are!
