Basically a money laundering machine; I hadn’t thought of it that way. I know you are very informed, I have always learned a lot from you comments. What money is being laundered and where is it going?

Just look at the now defunct UN Oil for Food program....Saddam was skimming gazillions on that one..along with any who could get their fingers in that pie. There's a dime a dozen like that.

Saddam's government used the program to extract billions of dollars from companies that wanted to do business with Iraq, leaving his people short of food and medicines, while blaming the UN sanctions for those shortages.

Another One of Saddam's schemes was to order vendors to inflate their prices by 10 per cent and "kick back" the excess to his government.

Last I read, there were 750,000 ‘employees’ who had to be paid salaries. I bet their numbers are increasing like rabbits. Do they publish an accounting? How much in, how much out? I bet they don’t. It probably costs more to run that inflated organisation than it does to run a small country. And they all eat well, travel well, and I bet they have unlimited Gold Cards. Ask the celebrities they hire, like Angela Jolie, how much she’s paid.
Think of the World Court. How many lawyers, for how long, and how many convictions?
See that image I posted? They all get top dollars. Some ‘cases’ run for years. It’s OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY!
