freeflydrew 0 #27 November 15, 2004 Quote More and more is coming out about the Oil for Food program. This is just the tip of the Iceberge.... Funny how the UN is not cooperating. From what I have read, the UN is cooperating with the independant investigation led by Paul Volcker, but it's staff is not authorized to provide documents to the senate's investigation, which isn't really that unusual.

Guest #29 November 15, 2004 QuoteSomehow they'll find a way to hang some non-descript person out to dry for this one. Either way, it suggests that the UN is a sham organization and the Security Council is corrupt beyond all imagination. BS - they won't hang anybody - the UN is beyond reproach. It's such a sacred cow that one of the most brutal and repressive regimes on Earth is on the UN Commission for Human Rights. Do you really think that with a track record like that, that a few billion (of our dollars, BTW) to a despot means a frickin' thing? mh . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or the US war on Iraq's aid your economy and businesses loyal to your president and his staff? Should heads roll for that too? Let's see the source of this information. It's pretty well documented.

mr2mk1g 10 #39 November 16, 2004 I'm personally still waiting to hear when the US govt. deems it appropriate to release all the names of US individuals and companies who received oil for food vouchers. Remember the CIA deleted all US names from the list before it was published. I don't get that - if one group of people are worthy of outing why is another group worthy of the protection?

nacmacfeegle 0 #40 November 16, 2004 Hey folks, remember this? http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=460643;search_string=galloway;#460643 and this http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1056547#1056547, which is really the same story as you are all getting panties twisted up about, again. Regarding the first story I linked to, everyone said George Galloway was as guilty as sin, well now he is getting rich from libel cases, and still walking about free, actually, I think he is still an MP in Glasgow. I'd wait and see what the final report has to say, probably some shenanigans involved, but there's plenty of time to get to the truth. Personally, I wouldn't trust an awful lot of ostensibly pre-war paperwork coming out of Iraq. You've all been duped before, its dead easy to get duped again.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

However, as a US citizen (and as a tax payer for over 15 years), I would like to think that my opinion on the matter is as valid as any other US citizen's opinion... Never said your opinion wasn't valid... just said that I wouldn't expect you to have the same opinions as some of us born here. Everyone's opinion is valid!!!

Because Annan is stonewalling an independant investigation and making it difficult to for them to do their work. Annan is the Head of what is SUPPOSED to be one of the MOST legitimate and important organizations in the World!!! He is supposed to represtent an organization developed for the greater good of world peace and humanitarian aid!!!!! Cheney??? apples and oranges.... And he hardly had the respect or Power that the leader of the United Nations does....
