If I flush a toilet a million times, will it be sent to the u.n. as "consideration of payment" and from this American, be considered paid in full!

A U.N. auditing board has recommended that the United States reimburse Iraq up to $208.5 million for contracting work carried out by KBR, a subsidiary of Halliburton, in the last two years.
The International Advisory and Monitoring Board of the Development Fund for Iraq said in a report that the work, paid for with Iraqi oil proceeds, was either overpriced or done poorly by the Virginia-based company.
Compiled from an array of Pentagon, United States government and private auditors, the report did not specify how or what work has been done poorly.
Halliburton said its subsidiary had cooperated with the auditing process and that questions raised had to do with documentation rather than the costs incurred by the company. It pointed to findings by the Pentagon's Defense Contract Audit Agency.

Who paid for these projects in the first place? I thought we were funding Iraq reconstruction. If KBR owes anyone money (and I'm skeptical of that if the U.N. says its true), then its the U.S. taxpayer.
"Where's the Mega-Chunky BARF Alert???"
Lovely! Gives a whole new meaning to, "Open wide for Chunky."
Yep, Ali, the UN would have been a better target.
Don't mind me, I'm in favor of the death penalty for jay walking and kids who paint graffiti. I also know how to solve the problem of child molestors who are released from prison: casteration.
This kind of thinking comes about after years of doing recreational drugs.

Why give them this as an excuse?
They are simply corrupt...drugs or no drugs.
"The UN should be moved to a floating barge in the Caribbean."
Better yet, that huge Iceberg that recently broke off the antarctic. Put the UN there and let it slowly drift away, never to be heard from again.

You're probably right.
U.S. reactions, such as Americans in the FR, to absurd United Nations' claims are muted. The U.N. issues its propaganda PR to influence, and to further justify, anti-American sentiments throughout the vast globbal. The U.N. keeps the fires of antiAmerican feelings burning which accounts in great part and aided by the Bolshevik factor, for the current extreme reactions/riots in South America during Bush's current visit. The United Nations tacticly employs its best defense to distract from its many abominations and failures which is to offend and accuse the U.S. At this point, both Condi Rice and John Bolton should strike back with strong rhetoric and reality checks.
Waiting for Kofi Annan to add another international law banning all images and references to Pigs and Swine to accommodate Muslim/Islamic sensitivity. A reminder: December 18th is United Nations' flag burning day. It's also "Hug your pet pig Day."

Paris would be a great location. I'm sure we can find some very inexpensive property at the moment somewhere.
They can't figure out how badly Kofi Anan was tied up in oil for food after years of investigation, but they can sure target the US in record time, can't they?
Yeah, and they could have directed the flights in with binoculars too. Talk about "soup to nuts."
The showing was hosted by KVI - Seattle conservative station and runs 70 minutes. Very well produced and some stunningly horrific shots of the results of the UN's "even handed" approach to war and genocide.
See it if you can.
Unfortunately, I believe that they would be FAR TOO COMFORTABLE in Paris!!!
