Found this article re how the UN's money for food was somewhat corrupt. Also, note the people/states/corporations that benefited from the corruption; also, note which side some of the entities took on the ousting Saddam's regime from power.
Saddam's Gifts
Document: Saddam Supporters Received Lucrative Oil Contracts
There are two names from the US mentioned in the article, and they should be prosecuted if found guilty of any wrong doing.
Why do you just single out the US persons for prosecution? Shouldn''t all the persons on that list be prosecuted? You of course realize that the U.S. persons named are obviously of Middle Eastern descent.
This goes to show what a fraud that ""oil for food"" program was, and that sanctioned didn''t work. We should have either left Saddam Hussein alone or gone to war. Which do you prefer?
Hello my baby!!!
Hey how about this:
Abu Abbas, a terrorist, receiving support from the Hussein regime?
I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
I started my own blog so when I feel the need to make an ass out of myself, I won't have as far to go.
The real corruption with the oil for food program was that the U.N. was allowed to skim money off the top to cover ""expenses."" This meant that the U.N. had a personal stake in continuing the current corrupt program.

Because he is probably as uncomfortable as I am with ""world courts"".
It must be cool to have a passport where there is ""U.N."" as a last name
hehe, sorry, couldnt resist.
Seriously, not that the list was a big surprise. Someone had to benefit from Iraq. Now the ball is in US corporate hands. Round 2.

Why do you think BP and Standard Oil went to war. Sorry, I mean the UK and USA.
No you tell us. Explain how BP got the US to go to war, and exactly how they profit from it.

man what a day. First Rantage destroys the ""Bush plans to present BinLaden right before election to get re-elected"" conspiracy, next Ral kills the ""the US is controls by the multinational oil companies and went to war on just that basis"" theory. You guys really don''t want me to have any fun, do you?
No hay banda!
