Oil For Food
Paul Volcker says there is "no evidence that Kofi Annan knew of contract with his son's company." Do you think that will stop the wingers? I don't.

I doubt it, not when there are boxes of evidence claiming to prove kofi is a liar.
They only exist in youer mind John.
no, they exist in the House Internation Relations Committee, because Robert Parton, former Oil-for-Food investigator, turned them over to Congress. you can read about it here.
The conclusion: liar is yours and not supported by evidence.
"which may contain information potentially harmful to Annan, sources have told FOX News."
First it's FOX so innuendo is the order of the day. The sources are anonymous. May contain inconsistancies does not translate to "he lied." Unless you have that conclusion already.
geez, mark... you don't even read before you react.
recap...
you: do you think that will stop the wingers?
me: not when there are boxes, claimed to prove kofi a liar.
you: only in your mind john
me: no, there are boxes, obtained by congress
you: the guy is a liar! foxnews is a liar!
fine. will you accept the news if it comes from the associated press?
You're truly a sad dupe. What's in the boxes? Only you know? The report won't say. You have a guilty until proven innocent thesis. I don't.
As I read it Parton felt the report was weak on Annan, but Volcker et al didn't based on the facts. Since they had the facts including the "boxes" it's unlikely that a partisan would be happy with contrary conclusions, like you, he did didn't already have to begin with. I'm sure he'll milk it for more than it's worth.
for the last time, i didn't address kofi's guilt of anything. I only agreed with you, and explained why. you react with condescension, attacking me, attacking my source, calling names, and making false statements. its typical angry leftist behavior.
I think I'll abandon my rational attitude for a while and adopt your emotional attitude whenever I comment here.
I'm afraid you're inchoherent like most right-wingnuts. Guilt is the undisclosed military records; boxes of already rejected evidence and the like at least to your ilk.
"evidence claiming to prove kofi is a liar."
This isn't guilt?
no, its not guilt... its the reason why the "wingnuts" won't stop, in answer to your post. they think the boxes have evidence. I take no position. I'm going to stop agreeing with you now, too. You're even wacky when I do that.
The boxes have evidence that has already been vetted by the panel. They think, and the thesis is, they do imply guilt, and the right-nuts use that. Guilt by innuendo.
If this isn't what you believe then I misread you.
Its looking like the "wingers" might have been right on this one...
AP - Annan Failed to Disclose Key Contacts
Not really John if you actually read the story. Meeting someone and cutting a deal are two very different things.
its amazing how far leftists will go to find a conspiracy theory implicating Bush or Cheney in some shady business deal and then present it as a fact. But when the actions of Kofi Annan look very very shady, it's suddenly "hey, i'm sure it's all kosher...let's give him the benefit of the doubt". hypocritical.
The shady deal's of Bush and Cheney are known. Neal Bush too. No digging is needed. Their people love them for that shamelessness. It's made them multi-millionaires and president and vice president.
conspiracy theories, mark.
Factual analysis. Direct evidence. Good bye John. Stay away.
