Hussein?s Regime Skimmed Billions From Aid Program

Hussein�s Regime Skimmed Billions From Aid Program

This headline could have been written: UN Ineptitude Rewards Hussein Regime.

Graft and corruption were rampant in Iraq and may well be again if the world community does not monitor the future dealings of Iraq. Perhaps the media will continue their investigative reporting with more stories like this one. However I hope they have the guts to expose the countries, companies and individuals who played this sordid game with a ruthless tyrant and his cronies. Russia, France and Germany were all involved along with the many Arab contries.

In addition, Kofi Anan and his UN cronies should be taken to task for their flagrant ineptitude and some apparent corruption. This is a disgusting travesty and demonstrates once more the ineffectiveness of the UN.

Let's see what Kerry and Edwards have to say about this state of affairs.
