UN TO PROBE OIL FOR FOOD PROGRAM

Pardon me if I don't hold my breath and quit eating...
"But they do not know how much has been spent, or on what. Incredibly, the oil-for-food program has never been audited. Yes: one madman, 10 agencies, 15 independently self-interested Security Council members, more than 50 billion smackers, zero audits," she added.

It now develops that instead of providing help for innocent Iraqi’s, the Oil for Food program became a gigantic multi-billion slush fund which Saddam Hussein, Durkin’s "madman" used to reward his supporters abroad, including, it is now alleged, the program’s top U.N. executive.

It is now clear that Saddam Hussein bribed his way around the world, buying the support of presidents, ministers, legislators, political parties and Christian churches, documents published in Iraq show.
