UN Secretary General Kofi Anna must have been paying attention during the Clinton years. Like Bill Clinton, Generation X slackers, and the liberal right, Annan is not taking responsibility for his actions or lack of action.
Annan believes there should be no investigation of the oil-for-food scandal or the people involved in the program. In fact he is denouncing any investigation as a "campaign" to "hurt the UN."
A Senate investigation has uncovered documents showing the extent of the scandal and, perhaps, Annan's complicity in it. During the 12 years of the program $21.3 BILLION dollars was scammed from the program by Saddam Hussein and his cohorts most of that money was looted between 1999 and 2003.
Is there anyone, liberal, conservative, or independent that can give any reason for the US to continue to be part of the most corrupt organization in the world? Is there any reason why the US should allow the UN to occupy prime Manhattan landscape for its corrupt operations? Is there any reason why "diplomats" at the UN should have immunity from prosecution in this scandal?
The answer to all three questions is NO!
