April 29, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - The vast majority of the United Nations' oil-for-food contracts in Iraq have mysteriously vanished, crippling investigators trying to uncover fraud in the program, a government report charged yesterday.

could have "a potential impact on the reputation and credibility of the United Nations."

Does the UN has any credibility or reputation left?

Today on Brit Hume's Special Report they said there were scandals involving some of the parties being connected to Al Qaeda and Hamas and money contributions. No wonder the papers disappeared.

This coverup is the coverup of the century...

This is the perfect opportunity to destroy the UN...

I hope we make use of it.

"The U.N. Must Change or the U.S. Must Quit"

http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/authors.asp?ID=2302

It's long overdue that we get the U.N.'s headquarters out of the U.S. and the U.S. out of the U.N. There are lots of better uses to which the U.S. could put the money it's currently spending in support of this utterly corrupt, terrorist-loving organization. Nothing 'united' about the united nations. It's a bandstand for terrorism.

The article fails to mention it was the French who were charged with auditing the program. They should have 1. caught the math errors and 2. should have the documents themselves.

first the documents disapear and next will be the arkancides.

You better remember who "we", "them" and "these people" are and whose land the UN sits on...Internationalist one-world elitists come in all flavors. American is one of them. Kerry is part of that cabal.

"Does the UN has any credibility or reputation left?"

They never had any of either to begin with. They've always operated in secrecy, refusing to open their books. They have always been nothing but tin pot banana republic dictators and thieves. Their shamelessness is mind-boggling -- look at the monstrous human rights violators they put in charge of their "high commission on human rights."

Actually, Bush is quite fond and protective of the UN.
