The American Spectator

/p> p> The story that Kofi Annan’s U.N. was running an Oil Bribes for Protection racket in Iraq was out long before the 2004 Election, but only now is its embarrassing inevitability reaching the Obsolescent Media. But the best is yet to come for George Bush in this; for Team Kerry and the Dems could not have been clearer in their opposition to the Iraq war and in their assertion that only the U.N.’s multi-lateralism could deal with such international issues; and that, in such, we needed to regain the respect of our “allies.” But now the facts are eking out. The players not only include Annan Père et Fils, as well as U.N. Members who sold their votes opposing military sanctions against Saddam Hussein in return for payoffs, but also now the name of Mr. Marc Rich, distinguished Swiss Resident and Clinton Pardonee, has surfaced in the midst of middlemanning a crooked deal. That is not the creative team of Saturday Night Live leading Democratic Strategy. Nor is it the moles of the evil “George Bush Deserves a Great Inaugural Party” insurgents. That actually is what has become of Harry Truman’s party in daily conference with the ghost of Dr. Kevorkian. br> — Gene Wright br> Laguna Niguel, California /p> p> THE STEM OF THE ISSUE br> Re: Tom Bethell’s Mengele Medicine : /p>

Mr. Tom Bethell might be interested in reading a thread on an Irish political discussion board in which I have referred readers to his article on “Mengele Medicine” and have gotten back lots of bricks and rotten tomatoes!
