| Oil-for-Terror? |
| 2004-04-19 |
| Beyond the billions in graft, smuggling, and lavish living for Saddam Hussein that were the hallmarks of the United Nations Oil-for-Food program in Iraq, there is one more penny yet to drop. It’s time to talk about Oil-for-Terror. Especially with the U.N.’s own investigation into Oil-for-Food now taking shape, and more congressional hearings in the works, it is high time to focus on the likelihood that Saddam may have fiddled Oil-for-Food contracts not only to pad his own pockets, buy pals, and acquire clandestine arms — but also to fund terrorist groups, quite possibly including al Qaeda. HUGE SNIP...... This appears to be part news article, part opinion, but clearly provides at least strong indication of Saddam indirectly funding al Qaida. Just one more reason the United Nations needs to be given all the power and authority it deserves - none. It is, and should be considered, nothing more than an international debating society that constantly gets in the way more than does anything constructive. It certainly should have no further role in Iraq. Read it all, if you have the stomach for it. |
