New evidence that http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2003/3/11/110420.shtml U.N. has gone from useless to dangerous: American officials say millions of dollars Saddam Hussein stole from the disastrous oil-for-food program are funding the terrorism that plagues Iraq.
“U.S. intelligence officials and congressional investigators said last night that the ‘oil-for-insurgency link’ has been recently unearthed in the numerous probes now under way into the giant U.N. humanitarian program, in which Saddam is believed to have pocketed $10.1 billion through oil smuggling and kickbacks from suppliers,” the New York Post reported Monday. 
“Congressional investigators have uncovered hundreds of documents in recent weeks that detail how top officials in Saddam's regime directed companies bidding on contracts for oil or humanitarian goods to pay ‘after-sales fees’ — or kickbacks — of up to 10 percent of each contract.” 
The documents show that the kickbacks were funneled into Saddam’s secret bank accounts abroad, including Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Belarus. 
The http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/3/15/202438.shtml oil-for-food scandal remains one of the most underreported stories of the year, aside from a few exceptions such as the Post, Fox News Channel and NewsMax. The media establishment has shown great interest in anything that makes the United States in general or the Bush administration in particular look bad, but continues to cover for its favorite corruption-riddled globalist outfit. 
As NewsMax has revealed, http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/3/31/144759.shtml United Nations ignored repeated warnings that could have prevented the massive embezzlement. 
Among other reports we have offered on the oil-for-food scandal:

The http://www.newsmax.com/cgi-bin/showinside.pl?a=2003/5/20/170042.txt shocking transparency of the fraud as U.N. bureaucrats refused to do anything to stop it.

Saddam’s http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2003/5/6/210024.shtml shell game also included Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Luxembourg and Panama.

Madeleine http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2003/4/17/171816.shtml Albright’s not-so-surprising attempt to abet U.N..

U.N.'s http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/6/15/102819.shtml refusal to protect whistle-blowers. 
U.N.’s http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/3/30/94213.shtml long string of similar outrages. 
U.N.’s http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/4/18/162751.shtml attempt to quash a new http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/6/13/120450.shtml book detailing these scandals. 
Yet another report Monday offered further proof of U.N.’s extreme incompetence and malign neglect. Although Annan is from Africa, Amnesty International issued a report highlighting his failure to do anything to stop http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/7/19/91032.shtml Arab militiamen from raping and torturing the black women and children of Sudan. 
But then, the genocide in Rwanda shows that Annan has http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/3/16/85131.shtml never had any will to stop mass murder on his native continent. 
If Annan and his gang of luxuriously ensconced and taxpayer-supported bureaucrats won’t take action against such atrocities in Africa, it’s clearer than ever they won’t do anything about Iraq either. How shameful that these parasites are more interested in protecting Saddam than the people of the Third World.
