Bush Oil Cartel wants to shut down UN controls on Iraq's oil
'Security Council members next week face a contentious struggle over the U.S. effort to get United Nations out of the multibillion dollar Iraqi oil-for-food plan and give it only a peripheral role in shaping a new government.'

According to Bush misadministration officials, the United States will introduce a resolution in the council that lifts sanctions against Iraq. Mainly, the resolution would end U.N. control over the lucrative oil-for-food program.

'The oil-for-food program was designed to ease the impact of the sanctions, imposed in August 1990 when Iraq invaded Kuwait. Among the terms for lifting the sanctions, which include all trade and financial dealings, are verification by U.N. arms inspectors that Iraq is clean of weapons of mass destruction.

'But the United States does not want the U.N. inspectors back, blaming them for not coming up with a "smoking gun" that would have given ammunition to its war plans.'

What were they supposed to do, make something up? Plant some??
