Truth to Power

It’s getting to the point

That if a wingnut told me my name, I get a second opinion. These guys can’t seem to tell the truth about anything.

To wit, all the blather about the UN “Oil for Food” program being corrupt? Well, we knew about it, and promoted Iraqs selling of oil, against the embargo. Guess that makes us just as “corrupt” as the UN, huh?

Documents: U.S. condoned Iraq oil smuggling

Trade was an open secret in administration, U.N.</a>

(CNN) – Documents obtained by CNN reveal the United States knew about, and even condoned, embargo-breaking oil sales by Saddam Hussein’s regime, and did so to shore up alliances with Iraq’s neighbors.

The oil trade with countries such as Turkey and Jordan appears to have been an open secret inside the U.S. government and the United Nations for years.
