9 billion missing and of course the liberal media is no where to be found. What a travesty. Ace, you should demand a full accounting of this. How could the Liberal Media miss this one? Bias, bias, bias, plain and simple.

Drunk Richie Cunningham to Mr. C: We only had a couple of little drinks...in teenie-weenie glasses....

Mr. Cunningham: How many teenie-weenie glasses did you have?

Richie: 72. And we slept with a few whores, pop. And ran up a measly $147,184 on your tab at Velma's.

Joanie: Mom! Mom! Richie's going to be sick and he maybe has the clap!

You mean eurotrash UN "diplomats" were taking money from Saddam?

And you mean the UN tried to cover it up with a "blue ribbon" panel that whitewashed the findings?

And you mean the New York Times is pooh - poohing the whole thing as an attack by "critics"?

Black is white
Up is down

I know! Let's send a badass no nonsense guy to the UN to clean it up!

I'm just waiting for vonKreedon to come in and assure me that even though the UN turned Oil-for-Food into one of the biggest scams in world history (at the expense of the Iraqi people) they are still somehow morally superior to the USA. No matter how corrupt, ineffective, or inept the UN is, the Left is always anxious to give them a pass.

I have gone from thinking that UN is a worthy institution that badly needs reform to thinking that the whole edifice is rotten through and through. The UN should be evcuated, the building bulldozed, and the site used for a huge financial center (or some other captalist pig-dog exercise). If the rest of the world wants a UN, fine: let them find a site for it, pay for it, and nod sagely at whatever worthless proclamations it issues.

Meanwhile, the anglosphere will actually get things done.

One of the bits I love is "$600,000 from Sevan's mother" (though I seem to remember his aunt being the alleged source.) The lady not only never appeared to have access to such sums of money, but her cause of death? Falling down an open elevator shaft.

Now, I haven't even seen speculation of the most feverish conspiracy-mongering sort to allege any sort of foul play, but doesn't it *sound* that way?

"The UN should be evcuated, the building bulldozed"

awww. Couldn't we skip that first part, Monty?

Thats the plan Megan but the Jews will be secretly notified so they can call in sick that day.

Cool. :)

That rhetorical construct is particularly adaptable. To wit:

Some critics have accused the United Nations of squandering millions and even billions of dollars in its mismanagement of the program. Yet Volcker's team found that Sevan appeared to have received kickbacks of just $147,184 from December 1998 to January 2002.

becomes:

Some critics have accused the United States of torturing hundres and even thousands of detainees in its mismanagement of the Iraq war. Yet the Senates team found that the Army appeared to have no policy regarding torture and only a couple of dozen cases of alleged torture.

Sure, if you ignore irrelevant stuff like "transparent investigations" and suchlike.

Never forget that the money they stole was supposed to buy food and medicine for sick and poor Iraqis. These people are evil.

You never know when theose elevator shafts will jump out and snatch you...they're vicious little SOB's.

Rather suprising she didn't "commit suicide" and shoot herself in the back 15 or 20 times...
