It's all our fault

By

Kofi Annan is now saying the UN Oil—for—Food scandal is all our (and the UK's) fault. According to Benny Avni in the New York Sun:

He insisted that most of the illicit gains Saddam made under oil for food were not the fault of the United Nations but the result of oil smuggling that happened outside the program. "And it was under the American and British watch," Mr. Annan said emphatically, accusing the press of attacking the United Nations. "We are outgunned, we are outnumbered, and they have resources that we don't have, and they are relentless," he said.

We await further information on how the United States corrupted Annan's son Kojo. MTV?
