Politics: UN: Clinton & other UN SecurityCouncil members 'fundamental mistake' in setting up Oil-for-Food program for Saddam

According to Sen Carl Levin (Democrat, Michigan) the Clinton Administration made a "fundamental mistake" in establishing the Oil-for-Food program when it allowed Iraq dictator and genocidist Saddam Hussein to parlay the distribution of oil contracts, and "allocations" of huge amounts of barrels of oil by vouchers he could issue to anyone he wanted to reward or buy, Washington Times tells us.

The two biggest politicians bawt by the Saddam's bestowal of vouchers went to a rightwing French cabinent minister and very close ally of French Prez, Jacques Chirac, Charles Pasqua; and to George Galloway, a Labour member of the British for a constituency in Glasgow, Scotland, and the most tireless and vociferous of Tony Blair's leading Britain into the War for Iraq's Liberation from Hussein. Pasqua is now a member of the French Senate. His genocide vouchers were squirreled thru a front company in Switzerland. Galloway was re-elected to Parliament after quitting the Labour Party, and presumably running as an independent in the May 5 election. Galloway won because he gained court judgments against the British Telegraph and the Christian Science Monitor for stories they ran that were apparently forgeries circulated by the named's friends. However, the new evidence that lead to the current revelations come from "findings being released today, [by] the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs permanent subcommittee on investigations ...." They charge that "former French Interior Minister Charles Pasqua and British Member of Parliament George Galloway each received the right to market more than 10 million barrels of cut-rate oil from dictator Saddam's Oil Ministry between 1999 and 2003," reports WT's David R. Sands.

UPDATE: Washington Times reporter David R. Sands reports that both Pasqua and Galloway have emphatically denied receiving any kind of negotiable vouchers from Saddam Hussein's scheme to subvert the UN's Oil-for-Food program. George Galloway (Ind MP, Glasgow, UK Parliament) has just announced he's flying to Washington DC from London to tell the US Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs permanent subcommittee on investigations that he's innocent of all charges.
