Are there any leftists out there who advocate judging Koffi Annan by the same standards that they insist Rumfeld should be held to? The UN scam-for-oil situation is pretty repulsive.
Indeed.
To clear things up, Oil-for-Food involved billions of dollars of oil, millions of dollars in kickbacks, to help a murderous regime survive and prosper. The abuse scandal looks to be one of the uglier chapters in American military history — but so far, it doesn’t involve anyone lining their pockets to prop up a dictator in palaces and steal food from the starving.
Surely, Kofi must go, yes?
