U.N. OIL $$ LINKED TO IRAQI TERRORISTS

InstaGlenn [1]points up an article in the NY Post this morning, that suggests this busienss with the UN being dirty in the oil for food progam may be the least of the concerns:

Says the POST [2]:

“American officials believe that millions of dollars Saddam Hussein skimmed from the scandal-plagued U.N. oil-for-food program are now being used to help fund the bloody rebel campaign against U.S. forces and the new Iraqi government, The Post has learned.
U.S. intelligence officials and congressional investigators said last night that the ‘oil-for-insurgency link’ has been recently unearthed in the numerous probes now under way into the giant U.N. humanitarian program, in which Saddam is believed to have pocketed $10.1 billion through oil smuggling and kickbacks from suppliers. ”


U.S. intelligence officials believe a portion of the funds in these hidden accounts — possibly millions— is now being used to fund the Ba’athist guerrillas responsible for much of the postwar violence against coalition troops, sources said.

Congressional investigators have uncovered hundreds of documents in recent weeks that detail how top officials in Saddam’s regime directed companies bidding on contracts for oil or humanitarian goods to pay “after-sales fees” — or kickbacks — of up to 10 percent of each contract.

Says Glenn:

We should send Kofi a bill.

No, Glenn.
An eviction notice, under armed threat would be better.

PS: Is this the same UN that John Kerry wants us to be bowing to regards Iraq and Terroism?
