I'm Shocked...Shocked

Saddam-defending UK MP George Galloway was reportedly in the pay of Saddam Hussein. He was skimming funds from the oil for palaces program, and allegedly wanted an even bigger cut.

I'd be interested to see if similar connections can be found to Scott Ritter.

I'm personally more interested in the ... French Connection.

I think Ritter showed his hand! Saddam funded Ritter's documentary, and if you subscribe to the "follow the money" type of straight thinking, Ritter is/was a paid stooge.

Yes we will find that France is in the money mix. Russia, China, Syria will all be found to be dirty here too, I think. And its all about the money lining the pockets of the Lords High Muckety Muck.

More troubling, early reporting on Fox, and only on Fox, says the U.N. allowed many non-medical, non-food items, to be bought with Oil for Food money. For the last year of the program, Koffi Annan had personal control of the progarm and the money and the purchases. So we may yet uncover why some of these folks were dead set against the coalition removing Saddam from power. They wanted the money and they don't want anyone to know they allowed Saddam to continue killing and raping while they earned a little side money for themselves.

And George Bush is a bad guy? I think not!!

Why bribe Ritter when you can blackmail him?

If you manage both, do both.
