Saddam’s Régime Stole Between $10 to 40 Billion From UN Oil-for-food Program

Jen at The Greatest Jeneration [1] is running a story this morning that says in part:

“In its testimony, the GAO said the United States has had mixed results in recovering Saddam’s hidden assets. The United States has seized about $926 million of the assets of Saddam’s regime in Iraq and other countries have frozen about $3.7 billion of Iraqi regime assets. But little progress has been made in identifying and freezing most of Saddam’s hidden assets. GAO said the regime was believed to have illegally acquired $10 billion to $40 billion.”

Jen adds to the story by suggesting, as I have many times in the past:

Suffice it to say that a good chunk went into the pockets of UN functionaries and the rogue regimes they represent (Need any countries’ names be mentioned?).

Yes, Jen, I think they do need to be named….Repeatedly.

France and Germany.
France and Germany.
France and Germany.

Explain to me again why we would possibly want the UN to be involved with Iraq, much less these two.

And now, let’s add Spain to the ‘pariah’ list since Spain has all but announced they’re going to crawl in bed with France and Germany.
