Could this be the big missing link twixt Iraq and Bin Laden?

If true it could truly be the end of more than a few careers in the UN I think.

If you want people to read that link Fandros, may I suggest you mask the website name? Otherwise, most won't even bother clicking the link.

Everyone knows FoxNews is just a crony for the Bush administration. Nothing they say is true. And they're evil too, like Bush.

If only Dowd or Krugman or that infamous liberal journalist from Texas would only write something about the "so called" corruption at the UN.................

Hyperbole much?

Fox has a republican slant, sure. We all get that, but instantly dismissing everything they produce, sight unseen, seems a bit knee-jerk.

...and a follow-up, least I be acused of creative editing.

The story does read a bit like six-degrees of Kevin Bacon though....

Aye, I can't find supporting info other than this link.

However, it's not that big of a stretch is it?

My favorite part of this article is the way that FOX identifies the direct links vs. the indirect links- like saying valid vs. "eh, ..not so much". Twenty years ago, it was also much easier to insert Kevin Bacon into the mix. You could even use two valid, direct referrences to do it.

Like:
March 7, 1998: Colin Quinn makes a crack about Kofi Annan's diplomatic skills with Iraq- (mentioned earlier in the FOX article, same referrence period) during "Weekend Update (http://www.saturday-night-live.com/snl/weekendupdate/98/3-7.html)" on SNL.

April 2003: Colin Quinn and Kevin Bacon both move to exonorate their involvement in the UN/Iraq conspiracy by affiliating themselves as gun-haters (http://www.gunowners.org/fs0302.htm).

See. We didn't even have to use Alf.
