NEW NAIL IN KOFI'S COFFIN (Volcker's "no documentary evidence" is inoperative)

NY POST ^ | June 15, 2005

[Liz]

(In a memo) dated Dec. 4, 1998 — one week before the firm got the contract.....Cotecna VP Michael Wilson ....writes that he'd recently had "brief discussions with the SG and his entourage" about the contract. And that Kofi & Co. advised him that "we could count on their support."

Gotcha, Kofi.

[pissant]

Let's hope we got him. He's a slippery one!

[philman_36]

...reportedly an accidental find...
Yeah, I'll believe that when the cow lands after jumping over the moon.
Looks like somebody wants Kofi out pretty badly.

"The Volcker group said that no evidence linked Annan to the UN's multimillion-dollar deal with Cotecna. But the memo, first disclosed by The NY Times, looks to be just that."

Glad I tracked some of your posts. I heard Rush talking about this yesterday.

FRegards....

Looks like somebody wants Kofi out pretty badly.

Perhaps his name is Bill.
If that ever happened Kofi will look like choirboy in comparison.Imagine the corruption of the Clinton(s)administration on a world wide scale.

[Victor]

Right you are. Bill sees an opportunity here for crime money on a huge scale...and he wants it.

Kofi will go down.

It's not just about Cotecna, though. There's a lot more explaning to be done. From this link:

Volcker's report found "convincing and uncontested evidence" that selection of the three U.N. contractors for the oil-for-food program — Banque Nationale de Paris, Saybolt Eastern Hemisphere BV, and Lloyd's Register Inspection Limited — did not conform to established financial and competitive bidding rules.

I haven't heard jack about how Lloyd's came to get the boot. Or how Kojo managed to get a job with Cotecna just in time to take advantage of Lloyd's getting the boot.

I haven't heard beans about Paribas, either. And that's even more interesting.

Howdy, Arthur!

"Looks like somebody wants Kofi out pretty badly."

Could that be Bill Clinton? He is wanting to be the Secretary General while Hillary is POTUS. Releasing "secret" information like this would be the kind of thing they do to get someone out of office.

[elli1]

Perhaps his name is Bill.

I'm more inclined to think his name is George. But I also figure that the list of suspects is a very long one...

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Anan is dragging the UN down several levels. Isn't this an absolutely great time for Bolton to hurl some thunderbolts?

Looks like somebody wants Kofi out pretty badly.

Maybe...hm...Bill Clinton?

[philman_36]

My, my...FReepers who can read between the lines. I'm impressed.

[philman_36]

See #13.

The Volcker group said that no evidence linked Annan to the UN's multimillion-dollar deal with Cotecna.

Doesn't this mean that they had a thoroughgoing shredding party before Volker walked in the door? This "no evidence" statement is not an answer to the question Volker was asked.

I am delighted that now even that dodge has been obviated. Hopefully Congress does not let go of this one. These criminals need to be exposed. They are the worst sort of con-men, preying on the weak and helpless to line their pockets.

U.N. corruption on a massive scale and the Democrats yawn. But just let them discover, say, that Bolton got a parking ticket 20 years ago and the Democrats will scream and feign "outrage" and the media will call Bolton's parking ticket a "scandal." Ted Kennedy will be out there front and center lecturing us about the proper way to park cars...

[Tom Bombadil]

Kofi will go down.

I wish it were true.

The Euroweenies and the jihadweenies and all of the other UN weenies will protect him. Volker is just frosting the cake, and eventually they all will place this memo somewhere the sun doesn't shine.

Watching the UN is enough to turn pollyanna into a cynic.

[Rummyfan]

Cotecna and Kojo's fiddling is just the tip of the iceberg, amounting to a fraction of a percentager point of the total money that was 'distributed'.

[Rummyfan]

Ted Kennedy will be out there front and center lecturing us about the proper way to park cars...

The Ted Kennedy method for car parking requires a body of water ten feet deep!

[gonzo]

"... Gotcha, Kofi..."

Maybe, Liz, but it doesn't matter. The UN is corrupt from top-to-bottom, and it should follow the 'League-of-Nations' into obscurity.

We, the USA, should follow our own course, and make our own deals with the peoples we trust.

We will prevail, after we finally kick the UN out of our Country...............FRegards
