moonie,
Does that mean we have to be creative about stealing the oil? I never understood fine print.
Only if you are so full of hate and bitterness that you can only see bad in any action. That does seem to be the only thing that you can do.
HJD1,
Get out of the moonlight and you are a decent poster.

UN extends oil for food program -
From the link that you posted.
"On Thursday night the United Nations Security Council voted unanimously to extend the program to June 3."
Resolution 1483 (2003)
20. Decides that all export sales of petroleum, petroleum products, and
natural gas from Iraq following the date of the adoption of this resolution shall be
made consistent with prevailing international market best practices, to be audited by
independent public accountants reporting to the International Advisory and
Monitoring Board referred to in paragraph 12 above in order to ensure transparency,
and decides further that, except as provided in paragraph 21 below, all proceeds
from such sales shall be deposited into the Development Fund for Iraq until such
time as an internationally recognized, representative government of Iraq is properly
constituted;
21. Decides further that 5 per cent of the proceeds referred to in paragraph
20 above shall be deposited into the Compensation Fund established in accordance
with resolution 687 (1991) and subsequent relevant resolutions and that, unless an
internationally recognized, representative government of Iraq and the Governing
Council of the United Nations Compensation Commission, in the exercise of its
authority over methods of ensuring that payments are made into the Compensation
Fund, decide otherwise, this requirement shall be binding on a properly constituted,
internationally recognized, representative government of Iraq and any successor
thereto;
I guess it's possible moonie that you wouldn't intentionally lie. I don't think you even realize when you do it anymore.
Etech you continue to miss your 16th point, I can't speak to your #20 and #21 as the link you provided does not work.
16. Requests also that the Secretary-General, in coordination with the
Authority, continue the exercise of his responsibilities under Security Council
resolution 1472 (2003) of 28 March 2003 and 1476 (2003) of 24 April 2003, for a
period of six months following the adoption of this resolution, and terminate within
this time period, in the most cost effective manner, the ongoing operations of the
?Oil-for-Food? Programme (the ?Programme?), both at headquarters level and in the
field, transferring responsibility for the administration of any remaining activity
under the Programme to the Authority, including by taking the following necessary
measures:
That is from your own post, I don't see what you are trying to show, by just bringing up more and more points, you continue to try to subvert the issue, no if you bring up more points, I won't forget about the ones you bring up and fail to defend. Also don't get it twisted - everything is not black and white, you assertion that either moon provides evidence which has not been released, or he is a liar is abusive. People don't seem to understand that even if they make decent points their arguments are subverted by the use of fallacies (ad hominem in your case)
