Then Came The Light - Oil For What?!

[HARDCORE]

If what I just saw on ?Fox News? is true, then no damned wonder a few vested nations objected to Gulf War II, the Coalition Of The Willing?s directorship of Iraq?s rebuilding process, the de-balling of the United Nations, and the airing of the absolute truth as concerns the genuine reasons why some world states handed us so much bull shit - before, during and after this conflict!!

?If this report was factual, and I personally believe it was, then some of the international entities who opposed our handling of the recent ?War In Iraq? are themselves copious felons!?

This particular news program started out with an elongated statement of mis-information by a ?United Nations Bonvivant?, dressed in a jacket that just had to have been stolen off of the back of a glue-factory horse? This Cheshire Mouse (opinion) then gave a million and one reasons why the UN must be allowed to oversee the rebuilding of Iraq, while the tone of his rhetoric was that of ?Forgive and Forget, Give Us Another Chance To Screw You Over, We Are The Only Qualified Entity To Undertake This $$$$ Task, and We (UN) Were, Are And Always Will Be In Control Of The Entire World!?? (Talk about grandiosity!!)

Following this ?Comedy Relief?, it was revealed that the miserable failure that was laughingly referred to as the ?Iraqi Oil For Food Program? was as corrupt as some international lotteries. Now get this, France handled the books in the last ?Oil For Food Enterprise?, while Kofi Annon himself personally oversaw the entire show, or so said the media!?

And the list of (so-called) humanitarian food expenditures under this program was truly amazing, and UN approved I might add!! This included cartoon making equipment, Olympic game training equipment and facilities, and of course, that several hundred millions of dollars located in the walls of one of Hussein?s palace guest cottages! ?Hell, I truly believed that the United Nations was indigent, incompetent and incontinent too, in their management of this last Food-4 Oil Debacle! I apparently failed to realize, however, that the damned place (UN) was also as crooked as a Russian Cork-Screw (opinion)!? ?And these are the flaming bastards who still demand that we bend over at the hips in their presence?!?

Should our government capitulate and turn Quisling over this current ?United Nation?s Tug Of War?, then we will have sent a final message to the world that we are now the easiest whore on the international block! And if (God Forbid) we do knuckle-under to these ?International (UN) Rapists," then I for one, will await the 2004 elections with great anticipation and a much clearer sense of direction!!

The hue and cry that has gone up in the past has been about a half a million Iraqi kids dying of sickness and starvation every year. And of course this situation has been laid on the US plate continuously and by our own protestors in particular. Even Osama bin Laden has used this as one of his reasons for reasons. The administration for the Oil for Food program has been on the desk of Secretary General Kofi and the French have been keeping the books. In this instance it just could be that ?French Fried? books are opened up and it is discovered that over a billion dollars have gone into French coffers for non-food and medicine items. Foxnews usually has the story right but lately I find that it?s best to let them work their facts over before their news alerts can be taken to the bank. We?ll see where this story goes but I wouldn?t be a bit surprised to find that the US has been taking a lot of heat and blame while the French have been secretly scooping up the loot and stuffing their greedy mouths with ill gotten gains.

Is not diplomacy (to some) just a way of getting away with atrocities that have gotten others in the past the noose? I fear that our strengths have also been perceived by some, especially the French, Germans and Russians, as our weaknesses!

While we labor to do what we feel to be in the best interest of all, a few other nations claim the same credo, but in reality, they seek only to satiate their own greed and agenda!

The greatness that a few countries could not achieve through natural resources, including courage, brain power and integrity, they now seek to usurp through deception, lies, maneuvering and betrayal. Unfortunately, to some (even here in America I fear), the method of achievement is of second nature, and more's the shame!!

Agreed HC. I?ve always reckoned that diplomacy is just a nice way of articulating the thought ?F**k you, strong letter to follow?. But then, I?m a bit pragmatic about things and have recieved no invitations to become Secretary Of State, LOL.
