#1 The UN. Wotta sick joke. Expensive, feckless, irrelevant, corrupt, hateful, irreparable, base, sordid - as classic an example of human vulgarity as can be imagined. The end-phase of the evolution of human greed, avarice, failure.

It's dead, Jim.

#2 Let's not forget that Kofi has already handed out golden parachutes to some of those under scrutiny. Their abrupt retirement may well shelter them from further investigation.

My friends look closer, and you will see a clear connection between America and Isreal that created these problems.

#5 The "Oil For Food" program was administered in IRAQ from the UN HQ at the old Canal Hotel in Baghdad (no longer taking reservations by the way). They, the Oil for Food wogs, were an elitist bunch of secretive snobs back in the early 1990's. They'd have nothing at all to do with any of the other UN programs or people coming in or out of the Canal. Everyone always suspected there was a scunk in the woodpile with that bunch. When the program was finally busted, a global cheer went up among former UN personnel who.... knew the deal.
