U.N. secretary general Kofi Annan should either resign, if he is honorable, or be removed, if he is not. The mild-mannered Annan may not himself be corrupt. But he has presided over no less than the largest corruption scandal in the history of the world, Oil for Food. Never has the U.N. been more disrespectable or useless. Moreover, Annan's response to the scandal has been inadequate to the point of disgrace. That he still holds his post is testament to the culture of impunity that pervades the organization.

Annan's apparently congenital reluctance to move forcefully when necessity requires stems partly from his corporatist background: He has worked for the U.N. almost continuously since 1962. He is the original Organization Man, the first of the seven secretaries general to ascend to the top of the greasy pole from entirely within the U.N. He lacks the drive, and the desire, to tame the beast he inherited. Annan is a man willingly in thrall to his employer's unaccountable and inefficient bureaucracy, and a servant of its patronage machine. <<

My Stepmom, who does contract work for the U.N. sees it for what it really is:
Revenge for his opposition to Dim Son's war.

Payback for his standing up to Mightymouse is exactly what this. Annan couldn't have done anything so dirty for so long without the Bush empire's knowledge or consent.

The reason they don't know that American Corporations with Republican ties are involvedis because the CorpoMedia is keeping the secret!

I wonder why the names of the US Corporations were "redacted" from the report given to the USMedia????

This is just dishonest PR bluster from the Republicans. They don't want this to go anywhere except to the US CorpoMedia to help slander the UN and divert attention from more important issues in Iraq. The total for the Oil for Food Scandal is about $20Billion. That's chump change for the corporate looting and pillaging in Iraq.
$20Billion disappeared the night Viceroy Bremmer left Iraq.

It is interesting that The El Paso Corp. was involved in this mess. You may remember this Corporation as being one of the Enron front companies that helped rig the California Energy Shortage of 2001.

So when the Fox News watchers start dissing the UN, you can mention that its too bad about all the American Corporations that will go down with them, but corruption must be rooted out even when it leads to the Republican Party.

and makes plenty of sense

from DOS website:

"In spite of Iraqi subversion, Oil-for-Food has been a dramatic success. $25 billion in humanitarian supplies and equipment have been delivered to Iraq, and another $10 billion is in the pipeline. Caloric intake has doubled, and communicable diseases have declined significantly among the Iraqi population. The transportation, agriculture, and electricity sectors have also been rehabilitated. In his November 2002 Report to the Security Council on the Oil-for-Food Program, the UN Secretary-General observed that “the program has made and continues to make a major difference in the lives of ordinary Iraqis.

Gotta shift any and all blame away from *²
