Actually Cow, I posted this for those that like to believe that America was justified in invading Iraq because of the Oil for Food program. It seems that the perception was that America was getting shafted and that only European (French, German and Russian) countries were benefiting.
And no, I do not subscribe to the theory that Hussein was buying arms. If he was you can bet your ass that Dubya would have trotted them out by now to have some documented justification. I can see Hussein lining his pockets, but the theories floating around that he was buying arms (not justified by the weapons inspection reports) or that he was supporting al Qeada (a group that wanted to kill Hussein) just don't make sense.
