CIA Incompetence and the UN

Froggy Ruminations:

"Forget WMDs, we know they were moved to Syria. Missing thousands of illicit monetary transactions originating from what should have been the most closely monitored regime on the planet over more than a decade is unconscionable. It seems impossible. Not to mention routine surveillance that should be regularly conducted by US Intelligence of foreign financial institutions should have caught this years ago. "

OpinionJournal - The Real World:

"... a United Nations that allowed Saddam Hussein to embezzle at least $21.3 billion in oil money during 12 years, with the great bulk of that sum--a staggering $17.3 billion--pilfered between 1997-2003, on Mr. Annan's watch."

Incompetence of the highest degree. We know the UN is complicit in the OFF scandal, but how did these billions escape detection? If Saddam didn't get this money it is possible that we would not have been drawn into war. If Saddam didn't get this money, maybe he could not have bribed our "allies" in the UN Security Council. Where was the CIA?

WMD's can be smuggled into Syria by truck in the dead of night. Money leaves a trail, and can be traced in and out of accounts. If we were watching Saddam so closely, why wasn't even a small part of these Billion$ detected.

Apparently the CIA is being flushed out by Porter Goss. Now we need to GET OUT of the UN. It is run by dictatorships and other slimy nations. (Cuba, France...).

We have spent too much money on these pompous, dangerous idiots. What have they accomplished? When have they promoted democracy?
