The Coalition of the Bribed

Funny how the press just LOVES to make headlines about the UN Weapons Inspector who just filed a report saying Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction.  Yet they overlook the damning facts about Saddam’s Oil-For-Food program and how he skimmed about $11 BILLION and bought off countries with his oil money.

The list cited names from France, Russia and China, all permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, which supervised the program.  Read the rest here.

This piece goes into detail about how the scumbag cheese eating surrender monkeys ("the French” for those of you in Rio Linda and all other Democrats reading this) profited from this corruption with the understanding they’d:

“influence the French to oppose U.S. initiatives at the United Nations and to work to lift sanctions. ”

I brought all this up in earlier posts (here) (here) and (here) which had basically the same information regarding who got how many contracts, what governments they were with, etc. but it seems no one is too eager to investigate.  Must be hitting too close to home, huh?

A blow-by-blow can be found here.

Even the British are getting into the act by writing an article about Dutch and French inspectors who were supposed to keep this sort of stuff from happening yet they themselves took over $100,000 in bribe money from the Iraqis.

Some great allies we have in the French, Germans and Russians, wouldn’t you say?  They find nothing ethically wrong in dealing with a barbaric dictator, taking bribes, skimming billions from the people of Iraq and giving no second thoughts to the misery they’ve created.  Yet all the while they prefer to keep this evil bastard in power and refuse to support the one country that has bailed them out of world wars and rebuilt their economies.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
