It just might happen. The
New York Post reports:
Congress is likely to move to reduce U.S. funding of the United Nations if leaders at Turtle Bay don't come clean and institute major reforms in the wake of the Iraq oil-for-food scandal, The Post has learned.
Recent interviews with Congress members and staff investigators revealed growing shock and outrage at the scope of history's biggest financial scandal, in which Saddam Hussein is alleged to have ripped off $21.3 billion from a humanitarian program intended to provide food and medicine to the Iraqi people.
The officials said there is increasing sentiment to take drastic action, including cutting U.S funding if the United Nations doesn't make radical changes in its secretive policies and questionable management procedures.
The $1.12 billion annual U.S. contribution to the United Nations represents 22 percent of the world body's budget.
I've also heard that UN folks with outstanding parking tickets were going to be facing reduced US foreign aid packages. Sounds to me like Congress is finally done playing around with these Useless Nobodies.
Islamofascism Delenda Est!
