Two Senators (with 14 co-sponsors) have introduced legislation which requires cooperation from the UN in Congressional investigations of the Oil-for-Food Program.
S. 2389 states, right up front, that its purpose is
To require the withholding of United States contributions to the United Nations until the President certifies that the United Nations is cooperating in the investigation of the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program.
HR4284 mirrors this bill in the House, and has 35 co-sponsors.
The US pays 25% of the UN budget each year. The only way any investigation will ever make progress is to threaten the organization in this way. Unfortunately, the individuals involved probably don’t care whether we pay our dues or not.
Come to think of it, when was the last time Kofi stuck his nose out into the open?
The guys at Friends of Saddam have all the updates.
