Ted Re...I didn't imply it; several articles that I have posted stated it.

That may very well be true, but the article that was the topic of this post did nothing more than imply it. If you have links, with real facts, post them.

In fact, its pretty common knowledge that HAL used foreign subsidiaries to get around the UN sanctions, and NOT because Saddam preferred dealing with them. Saddam was not in on position to pick and choose.

Really. Then why did your article say this.

The deals occurred under the United Nations Oil-for-Food program, at a time when Saddam Hussein chose which companies his government would work with.

If that doesn't say explicitly that Saddam did indeed do the chosing, then I will personally go to Seattle and kiss your a##; with or with out your undies on.
