Another reason to get out of the UN

[Charlie P]

UNITED NATIONS "” An independent commission will investigate allegations that United Nations staff collected millions of dollars in illegal profits from the program that allowed Iraq to sell some of its oil to pay for food during the years of economic sanctions.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan (search) announced plans Friday for an independent commission that would go beyond an internal United Nations probe of alleged corruption and mismanagement in the oil-for-food program.

Annan made the announcement in a letter to the Security Council (search).

The world organization has been hit with allegations that U.N. staff may have reaped millions of dollars from the oil-for-food program that helped Iraqis cope with U.N. sanctions.

U.S. congressional investigators have also looked into the program, charging this week that Saddam Hussein's (search) government smuggled oil, added surcharges and collected kickbacks to rake in $10.1 billion in violation of the United Nations' oil-for-food program.

I don't know why "we" created the U. N. anyway! Historically we've paid the lions share of the expenses, only to have ourselves ridiculed and repremanded and out voted, constantly, and on our own soil too boot!
I say, show 'em all the door, now! America answers to the American citizens, and NO ONE ELSE!
