Karen, additional support info. Congressional documents included.

Crimes of Iraqgate
security-policy.org

Congressional Record [Page: H206]
"In the course of that investigation we have learned that BNL provided over $4 billion in what appears to be illicit loans to the Government of Iraq. While about half of these loans went to purchase food commodities, it is less well-known that about half was used to finance Iraq's efforts to build a self-sufficient military industry, an industry that could build missiles, one that came close to developing nuclear arms, one that did produce chemical weapons, one that could build a super gun capable of unprecedented range, as well as produce conventional weapons."
