Omaha: U.N. blamed for causing Iraq's gas shortages
Iraq - Jay Garner, the former lieutenant general who has been in Iraq for nearly a month with a mandate to get the country running again, on Sunday blamed U.N. sanctions for the gasoline shortages that have prompted Iraqi anger at the American occupation forces here.

Waving his arm to indicate the long lines of cars waiting at a gas station in central Baghdad, Garner said the economic sanctions still in force on Iraq had stalled deliveries of oil for its domestic needs.

"Put in there that the U.N. really needs to lift the sanctions so we don't have all of this," he said.

"Was er nicht gesagt hat ist das die USA das Irakische Öl nicht verkaufen können solange das "Oil-for-Food" Programm der UNO in Kraft ist"
