May 4, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - The United Nations yesterday threw up a stone wall in the oil-for-food scandal, insisting that contracts between the world body and private companies should not be turned over to investigators. In a defiant move that has infuriated probers, Secretary-General Kofi Annan threw his support behind a letter from former oil-for-food head Benon Sevan to officials of a Dutch company that inspected Iraqi oil shipments. The letter directed the company not to hand over documents to congressional committees and other "governmental authorities."

"This is disturbing," said a congressional investigator.
Disturbing? How about criminal, the UN is guilty of funding terrorist, embezzlement, and full of corruption.

The media and liberal Democrats will continue to ignore the whole scandal. I wish the GOP Congressional leadership would launch hearings into the matter.

If the US kicked the UN out of NY and dropped out, the world would not change one single bit. A bunch of fatcat paper pushers would be looking for work though.

Now you know why the U. N. stonewalled the Liberation of Iraq.
The U. N. is dirty, Coffee is dirty, his son is dirty and a ton of others are dirty.
This investigation will go nowhere.

JFKerry who wants to be president under the leadership of the UN, has the nerve to call Repbulicans "liars and crooks".
This investigation is looking more like "The Commission" of 9/11.

KoffeeKup and his friends are so thoroughly corrupt, they can't see how stupid they look.
Then again they only know one way of life, stealing.
This is going to be the end of KoffeeKup, the amounts are just too large to go away and Sodemites pay back to them are the detailed accounts he kept.

Doesn't this guy understand that a coverup is about the only thing that will get the US press frothing at the mouth and get them to dig: just as they did with Gary Hart? This has to be the stupidest of moves by people who truly don't have a clue about the United States.

The U. N. is dirty, Coffee is dirty, his son is dirty and a ton of others are dirty. Not to put too fine a point on it, this collection of third world scum and their first world enablers reminds me of nothing so much as Southern legislatures during reconstruction dominated by Freedmen, Carpetbaggers and Scalawags.

"U.N. officials are talking about transparency in this investigation and yet they appear to be thwarting efforts to get the relevant documents. What does that say?" the investigator added. It says they have something to hide.

Or at least introduce a bill to cease all U.N. funding from the U.S. until all documents are made public and handed over to investigators.
