So are these guys...This opens a whole new can of worms. April 17, 2005 Want's to cut a deal Give the guy some money A South Korean hustler in the middle of the United Nations oil-for-food scandal may testify against U.N. officials to save his own hide, he revealed yesterday. Tongsun Park told a South Korean newspaper that federal prosecutors have offered to make a deal on charges that he lobbied on behalf of Saddam Hussein's regime and was given millions to bribe U.N. officials. "I am seriously considering the offer," Park told the newspaper Joongang Ilbo, also admitting that he had been paid "little money" by Iraq's former strongman. Prosecutors have said they want to talk to Park about what role, if any, former U.N. chief Boutros Boutros-Ghali may have played in the scandal, but have stopped short of saying if they are investigating him.

"Every man and his dog is buying Iraqi oil," said one oil trader quoted by the Times of London in early 2001. The same story described "total anarchy" and "flagrant disregard of U.N. Security Council resolutions" in Oil for Food. A myriad of shady middlemen had moved in after the world's major oil companies shunned Iraq in response to Saddam's widely publicized demand the previous year for illegal kickbacks on oil contracts. This open and flagrant corruption--the Times story was one of many--is the best evidence of Kofi Annan's unfitness to continue to lead the U.N. It's not merely that it all happened on his watch, but that it was allowed to happen in plain view."

Kofi blames US "U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who earlier angered the United States and Britain by calling the Iraq war 'illegal,' has upset both nations again -- this time accusing them of allowing Saddam Hussein to enrich himself selling oil outside the U.N.-run oil-for-food program. Mr. Annan set off the latest dispute on Thursday by asserting that Saddam made more money smuggling oil to Jordan and Turkey -- under the noses of the United States and Britain -- than he skimmed from the 1996-2003 U.N.-run oil-for-food program. Mr. Annan just can't make something like this fly. Even though his hand picked investigators led by Mr. Volcker does his best to hide information that is cascading forth, Mr. Volcker can't keep it all in and we learn of such things as paper shredding by Kofi Annan's Chief of Staff. "The most significant finding in the Volcker Report is undoubtedly the revelation that Kofi Annan's then-Chief of Staff Iqbal Riza authorized the shredding between April and December 2004 of thousands of UN documents--the entire UN Chef de Cabinet chronological files for the years 1997, 1998 and 1999, many of which related to the oil-for-food program." Only in the never-never land of UN bureaucracy could you find some one like Kofi Annan and his Secretariat. This organization is dangerous and has to be down sized for our safety, it is trying to gain a position of more power than its member states. It is an unelected group of nameless and unaccountable greymen who have brought forth genocide's, rapes, pedophilia and the most monumental theft of all time. The United State has to stop buying into the UN bureaucracy, its an incremental thing that they are attempting and the only thing they need is time and they have decades to outlast any opponent. First the "Kyoto Protocol" and then the ICC and now the Law of the Sea, just a little bit at a time until we have something out of Orwell's 1984.
