Meanwhile, back at the United Nations Oil for Food scandal, the news leaked Friday that Secretary-General Kofi Annan has picked Paul Volcker to lead a three-man panel to investigate what we now know was a Saddam Hussein skimming operation. What we'd also like to know is why it is taking so long for the Volcker appointment to be formally announced.

"You Americans have Gorelick. We have Abu Annan.
WHO ELSE but Kofi who himself profited AND who gave money to his son, Tojo,
to supervise the "investigation" for you fools. We roll on the floor laughing.
SO why don't all you dhimmis just give up and surrender,
like the spineless and cowardly French and Spanish already have."


THE ANNAN FAMILY's WAR FOR OIL - the U.N. Oil company hired Kofi Annan's son, Tojo, who profited from Saddam's treachery and murder."


THE FRENCH WAR FOR OIL - the French interest in maintaining Saddam Hussein and his treachery in power was ..... $100 billion

Bring the resolution up to a vote and force them to vote against it to block the probe. The "no" votes will be a list of the guilty parties.
