The son of U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan used his father's worldwide connections to wheel and deal with heads of state — at U.N. gatherings — on behalf of a controversial Swiss company that won a lucrative oil-for-food program contract, The Post has learned.

The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.

Were it up to me, the U.N. would have been evicted from the U.S. a long time ago. And the U.S. would have told the U.N. where to stick its membership.

By continuing to fund a corrupt UN the US is guilty of aiding and abetting the corruption.

"Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord"

It's funny (I think providential) how so many of the various characters who have come against W, wind up getting exposed.

"Because he knows my name, I will up hold him."

He's 29 now and started there in 1995 so he started at age 20. There is no way this is anything other than a purchase of influence and access. The fact that he continues to receive compensation means his financial package has some sort of performance based residual. If NYPost can get his compensation plan then I think that will tell all.

Emperor-of-Terrorists Annan: "Naturally, I was very surprised and disappointed.
Who knew? Why, when we French-kissed over years, I thought Arafat was
gentle woman or a wandering girl scout with whiskers and bad breath.
Now you tell me he is a MAN who actually murdered someone.
UN-believable. Who knew?
".

I believe I read the other day that Kookie Annan has been sucking on the UN payroll teat for over 40 years in one position or another.

He started as an administrator in the World Health Organization in 1962.

Kojo Annan's activities caught the U.N. off guard last night. "We are unaware of this. This is the first we are hearing of it," a spokesman said.

ROFL!

Seems like Kofi is going down ... just playing out the end game. Agree with the poster that said that those who F with W end up spitting out teeth like chiclets. Just ask Jesse.

Bush is a man of God, and that's all there is to it. These wolves... it seems that all those who have gone against Bush are now running for cover, for their evil deeds many. I dream of the day when the UN is out of our country. ship the whole damn building to where the ICC is based... is it the Haghes or something?

It is highly probable that GEORGE SOROS is involved in all this. Ultimately, the investigation will expose all the participants involved in the design, implementation and beneficiarys of this plan.

This scandal is the product of experienced hands. Rich the designer. Soros the implementer and profiteer. Soros has a "legitimate" empire to channel this action. A syndicate of many including this pair, facilitated Saddam and his beneficiaries (France, Germany, UN, et all).

Soro's fanatical and seemingly illogical political opposition to Bush finally makes sense. This man is now the "deer in the headlights".

Please follow this logic and find the facts.

Plausible deniability

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Plausible deniability is a political doctrine originally developed in the United States in the 1950s and applied to operations by the then newly-formed Central Intelligence Agency. Many people consider the docrine to be a form of hypocrisy.

Plausible deniability involves the creation of power structures and chains of command loose and informal enough to be denied if necessary. The idea was that the CIA (and, later, other bodies) could be given controversial instructions by powerful figures -- up to and including the President himself—but that the existence and true source of those instructions could be denied if necessary; if, for example, an operation went disastrously wrong and it was necessary for the administration to disclaim responsibility.

The doctrine had two major flaws. First, it was an open door to the abuse of authority; it required that the bodies in question could be said to have acted independently, which in the end was tantamount to giving them license to act independently. Second, it rarely worked when invoked; the denials made were rarely plausible and were generally seen through by both the media and the populace. One aspect of the Watergate crisis is the repeated failure of the doctrine of plausible deniability, which the administration repeatedly attempted to use to stop the scandal affecting President Richard Nixon and his aides.

Plausible deniability has also come to be used more generally to describe a situation in which a party actively avoids gaining certain, or confirmable, knowledge of facts it suspects to exist because it benefits the party to "not know." Example: An unscrupulous attorney may suspect that facts exist which would hurt his case, but decide not to investigate the issue because if the attorney had actual knowledge, the rules of ethics might require him to reveal those facts to the opposing side. Thus his failure to investigate maintains plausible deniability.

This politics-related article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Plausible_deniability&action=edit).

Kofi Annan had claimed earlier this week that he did not know the full extent of his son's dealings with Cotecna.

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

No suprise that people as liberal as Annan and cohorts would have blood money on their hands. What a joke the UN has been - it's time to pull the plug on US funding such corruption.
