Re: "Answer me this...just WHERE do you think the UN got money to buy oil???"

Sandy... I think you are confused about this.

Iraqi oil was sold to the commercial markets --- what the UN did under this 'oil for food' program was make up a list of approved purchasers.

There was no cost in 'US taxpayer money', oil is a fungible commodity. It's easy to sell, anywhere in the world.
