Saddam Hussein diverted money from the U.N. oil-for-food program to pay millions of dollars to families of Palestinian suicide bombers who carried out attacks on Israel, say congressional investigators who uncovered evidence of the money trail.
The former Iraqi president tapped secret bank accounts in Jordan -- where he collected bribes from foreign companies and individuals doing illicit business under the humanitarian program -- to reward the families up to $25,000 each, investigators told The Associated Press.

Coming to page 9a (below the fold, next to an Tire ad) in a major newspaper near you!
No, now if he would also do the right thing and get out of the U.N.
I've seen bumper stickers that say "The UN Supports Terrorism". Anybody know where they came from?
What would it actually take to get the UN off our soil? What act of God has to happen to get them out of our country?
Yep. I don't suppose Dan Rather will do a 60 Minutes segment on this little tid bit any time soon either.
I am not shocked! I am not shocked and un-outraged!
But remember, he had NOTHING to do with Al Queda and 9/11.
OK Pure Vanity from me, Get the UN out of the US and the US out of the UN!
I wonder if Amensty International will file a complaint about this? Hmmm....
Game, Set, Match. Prize to the winners, losers please leave your place in line.

I can't wait to see the Michael Moore movie exposing this corruption. [sound of crickets chirping]
Something just struck me.... MILIONS of dollars...
Let's assume a conservative estimate of 10 million.
Divide that by 25,000 per suicide bomber.... that's 400 suicide bombers.
Figure that each suicide demon kills an average of 5-10 people and injures 50+, and we have roughly 2,000 to 4,000 dead and 20,000 innocents injured.
Doesn't that qualify as WMDs? That's very clear the WMD we got rid of in Iraq is already in jail = Saddam and his bank accounts.
This information has been known for some time
Has anyone else noticed a sharp decline in the number of reports of suicide/homicide bombings in Israel in the year since we captured Saddam Hussein? The link between Saddam & terrorism looks pretty self-evident to me.
True, but now we have solid evidence with a documented money trail to back it up. This makes the case bulletproof.
Hey I'm from New York, might as well send me the hat now.
