Here Kofi Kofi Kofi, Come out, come out, wherever you are...Funny too, that 2 Democrat Senators are leading the hunt! Guess the Koffi is getting to hot to handle even for the 'Rats! So then, what's the process for impeaching the UN's Headman and his spawn? U.N. Response to Probe Troubles Senators Friday, November 12, 2004 NEW YORK ? Two U.S. senators investigating the U.N. Oil-for-Food program have told U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan in a letter that they were "troubled" by his decision to withhold documents or witness testimony from lawmakers. Sens. Norm Coleman of Minnesota and Carl Levin of Michigan sent a letter to Annan Tuesday in which they blasted Annan for "affirmatively preventing" their congressional panel from getting requested information. . . . Both Annan and his son's company, Swiss-based Cotecna Inspection SA, have denied any wrongdoing, but Annan has also not yet made available audits that could detail who exactly was getting money. The Oil-for-Food program was started in late 1996 as a way to let Iraq sell some oil to allow humanitarian goods reach Iraqis but investigators now believe the program was a multi-billion dollar corruption scheme. Asked about the senators? letter, Annan?s communications director said he would look into the claims that his boss is not cooperating. The spokesman said the situation was "very awkward" and he called the senators? communication "a troubling letter." link Let's Roll

Koffi was at the helm when the UN stuffed up with Rwanda - and he has leart stuff all from it. Sudan is a mess while the UN plays the conversation game - how many sudanese have died since his little jaunt through Africa which has delivered ZERO. Mr Conversation and that's about it. If people want the UN to have relevance - then it's about time the UN demonstrates that it's worthy of respect rather than bleat about it's decline. It's in decline because it continues to demonstrate that it is too gutless to act when required. Sudan bears witness to that.

The Senate Committee released the following today: $21 BILLION in kickbacks in the "Food for Oil" program. To grasp the extent of this theft remember that each Billion dollars consists of one thousand units of a million dollars each. Koffi has refused FIFTY (50) requests for internal UN audits. The official UN policy is to recommend UN employees not discuss ANYTHING with US investigators. Sadaam had 234 phony corporations doing business WITH the UN during the "Food for Oil" program.

By now you should be able to find it on any news site, certainly Fox News. Senator Coleman gave multiple interviews today, and CIA analyst Deuffer's testimony was also on the evening news.

Infuriating! While looking for a link I could supply gf0012 I came across this on the Fox News site: "According to the documents, the Iraqi government signed deals to import rotting food and other damaged goods with the full understanding of the exporting companies, who accepted payments for top quality products while kicking back much of the price difference to the Iraqi regime." Anybody remember Onegus accusing me of killing Iraqi children with US sanctions? Onegus....your shorts are ready!

"BTW, anyone seen Onegus? He lost a bet to me. He has to eat his shorts." This will not pose a problem, Apple. Onegus is French, which means that with sufficient Garlic, Butter*, and Wine, he will dine on anything that moves. *The Good Stuff, Real Butter, not the stuff we get here in the USA. Got to give the French credit where its due.

The article is to long to repeat here, but here is the link and a few pertinent excerpts: link Bill Gertz THE WASHINGTON TIMES A private intelligence firm hired by the United Nations to look into corruption in the oil-for-food program provided valuable leads to U.N. investigators, but they were ignored, the company's director says. "We found it extremely frustrating to be in a position where we could do something significant to dramatically assist the investigation into the oil-for-food fraud and not be allowed to proceed," said Derek Baldwin, director of operations for IBIS Risk Management Services Inc. Mr. Baldwin said Mr. Volcker's panel, the Independent Inquiry Committee (IIC), tasked his company in June to use its intelligence sources in the Middle East and Europe to assist the probe of the $64 billion program Mr. Baldwin said new information related to the U.N. oil-for-food program uncovered by the company includes: ?A network of Iranians who were involved in smuggling oil under the U.N. program. ?Connections between the U.N. program and a French organized crime figure who U.S. officials said was a conduit for oil-for-food-related payments to French President Jacques Chirac. ?Information on the Swiss-based company Cotecna, which was involved in border inspections of oil-for-food goods. Cotecna at one point during the oil-for-food program hired Mr. Annan's son as a consultant. ?Data on the activities of an Egyptian oil broker who took part in illegal activities related to the oil-for-food program. "As an experienced investigator, it became clear to me that the U.N. is failing to act on the leads and intel streams developed by us in specific areas where we were asked to develop leads and intel streams," said Mr. Baldwin, a fraud investigator and former intelligence official. "That is inexplicable." Appleciderus: Chirac? Koffi?s kid? Iranians? French organized crime? UN corruption? ONEGUS, YOUR SHORTS ARE READY!!!

appleciderus There's more! 11/17/2004 9:56:56 PM

Associated Press: (excerpts) WASHINGTON ? Lawmakers are questioning whether a French bank failed to comply with U.S. money-laundering laws, possibly helping Saddam Hussein manipulate the $60 billion U.N. Oil-for-Food program. The bank denies any wrongdoing. In the latest in a series of congressional investigations of alleged corruption in the Oil-for-Food program, the House International Relations Committee was homing in on the role of the U.S. branch of BNP-Paribas, which handled most of the Oil-for-Food money. "We all knew that Saddam was doing everything in his power to evade sanctions," said the panel's top Democrat, Rep. Tom Lantos of California. "But it is truly infuriating to discover the depth of the contempt and greed displayed by the governments of nations such as France, Russia and Syria who evidently jumped at the chance to participate in Saddam's crimes against the international community." Appleciderus: Need there be more proof? Not to worry, it will be available. A friend told me today he heard on the radio Chirac will attempt to stay in power another 13 years. It?s the only way he can avoid prosecution for corruption. ONEGUS! IS THAT TRUE? Onegus! Your shorts are ready! Chirac! Your jail cell is ready! (Imagine a french government surviving 13 years)
