UN Corruption; More Found, Roots Growing Deeper

The following article posted by Fox News tells of the latest 2 corruption investigations of the UN at the home office in New York and branch offices/activities around the world.

The UN has not been forced to account for the billions it receives from nations nor the money it spends. It has no overseeing body. The "world body" is looked upon by many nation's governments as the be all end all.

MoreThanCorn has a changing opinion. Once a supporter of Kofi Annan (through giving the benefit of the doubt), the number of cases showing corruption at the UN is becoming too great to give Annan the same benefit. Skepticism is growing and MoreThanCorn feels Annan's days are numbered. Also many top brass will be exiting the organization voluntarily or forceably.

The US appointed and confirmed John Bolton at the right time. He will be digging his feet in and learning. Bolton will be watching Paul Volker.
