An embarrassed U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan confirmed yesterday he has ordered a probe into allegations that top U.N. officials were getting payoffs from Saddam Hussein under the controversial Iraqi oil-for-food program before the war. At a press conference at U.N. headquarters yesterday in New York, Annan yielded to intense international pressure to address allegations of a gigantic swindle in which Saddam is said to have handed out more than $2 billion in sweetheart oil deals to U.N. diplomats and friendly politicians. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Intense international pressure for an investigation into the UN Oil-for-Food scandal?
Kofi embarrassed?
Believe it, or not.

Oh, but it was the draconian U.S. sanctions that killed the little Iraqi children.
Or not.
It was Kofi, Chirac, Schroeder, et al making money, Saddam making money, killing the children, blaming Bush.
And Kerry's throwing a hissy fit that that party had to end, that the mass graves and dead kids had to stop.
It looks more and more like Bush and Cheney are the only two non psychopathic world leaders.
