October 18, 2004 -- WASHINGTON Ã¢â¬â The son of U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has been targeted by a federal criminal probe into corruption of the scandal-scarred Iraq oil-for-food program, sources said.
Top U.N. officials said 30-year-old Kojo Annan is among a handful of individuals and companies whose business dealings with the gigantic U.N. humanitarian aid program are now facing the white-hot scrutiny of a federal grand jury in Manhattan.

It was not clear exactly why Kojo Annan is being eyed in the probe, which involves an $11 billion scheme involving alleged kickbacks and illegal oil smuggling orchestrated by deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

My opinion is that THIS is why the UN did not support the USA in going into Iraq. Behind Annan's situation....Russia, France and Germany are also being implicated.

To make it worse, they've done nothing but flood the media with lies regarding the war in order to cover up the fact they were breaking the sanctions agreement in the first place.

To trust this group of buffoons with the welfare of our soldiers or to make calls on our international policies....isn't going to happen. Rightfully or wrongfully... it would bring about a revolution in America.

Again, this is only my personal opinion.
