Ed,

"Iraqis Want U.N. to Control Oil Cash, Not U.S."

Ahhh. The truth comes out. Reuters did not use the word 'control' as their description. They used it in a quote.

Tell me, Ed. What Iraqis want the UN to 'control' the oil?

Obviously, they have no official capacity. There is no Iraqi government.

Even worse, you're actually quoting a guy who appears to be a crony of Saddam Hussein. Didn't you read the article? It says, "Naaman, an employee at Iraq's Military Industrialisation Commission in charge of developing weapons, said: 'The regime (of President Saddam Hussein) is gone, why are they staying?'"

Now, put on your thinking turban for a moment. How many Iraqis got a chance to work in Iraqi weapons development that weren't drones for Saddam Hussein? Just maybe this guy a little bit prejudiced?

The Reuters article is foolish. Asking Iraqis on the street is not a sound way to conduct Iraqi economic policy.

You clown! This is a quote from a member of Saddam Hussein's regime. Can't you read?

Certainly Mr Naaman and you want America gone so that Saddam's regime can get power again, and oppress, torture and steal from the people again. You bottom feeders are all alike.

<font color=blue> You posted:"'They are taking Iraq's wealth', Ahmad Dulaimi said. 'The United Nations and not the United States should run the country until we have our own government.'"<font color=black>

Now we are finding out that through the UN, French, German, UN and Russian officials were making a killing out of the oil for food program, while the Iraqi people were going without food and medicine.

Is this is what you are advocating again? You want the Iraqi oil proceeds plundered through the corrupt UN once again? Is that your racket? Do you also make money off the misery of others? That would explain why most of your posts support the crooks and the thugs of the world.
