Oh, you think?
For all the peacenik anti-U.S. pro-Saddam idiots, Saddam and those that he bribed were at fault for diverting funds from UNSCAM from food and medicine to golden palaces. The U.N. Volcker report will show that almost half of the companies involved with the Oil-For-Food program paid illegal surcharges on oil or kickbacks on contracts to supply humanitarian goods.
It goes further to say that the Banque Nationale de Paris S.A., or BNP, which held the escrow account, knew about those activities but did not report it.
The money made by Saddam, almost $13 billion, went to building palaces and bribing officials to advocate the lifting of sanctions. Even worse, the report goes on to say that U.N. officials and the Security Council were later informed, but not much was done about it.
Very interested to see what the fallout will be.
