So what you are saying is that there were no legitimate transactions made under the oil for food program? That everyone involved was getting kickbacks? Yup, Saddam made sure of that - his friends got kickbacks, and he got kickbacks. Read the Volcker report. I'm not going to run around and spoon-feed you every bit of information. Saddam did not want his enemy, Iran to know that he did not have WMD, lest they perceive him as weak, which he was, and attack. So he led a disinformation campaign with that regard So how do we know that? A: because we invaded. No invasion, no knowledge. Every intelligence agency would still be looking at the signs and saying: boy, Saddam is hiding his stuff well, but we know from his behavior that he has to have it. Just as they did say before 2003. Go read the reports from the time, stop reinventing history in the light of hindsight. You're as bad as GST, who demands President ignore the information they get from the CIA if and only if it later turns out to be wrong. Comparing the secrecy levels of the Bush administration to those of Stalinist police state is the height of absurdity. Next you'll be telling me that Bush is feeding his critics into chippers.
