Germany certainly had its share of the oil for food graft. They were on the take from Saddam. Now why might that be, I wonder? So they could be good friends and allies with the U.S.? I suspect not.

Who TH would have made profits from deals with Saddam? I mean, in Germany you find no big oil company - unlike in Russia and France. What I know is, that there were several armament industry business associations who have illegally dealt with Iraq, and I know that few of those businessmen were sentenced for that. I can see no political support for cooperation with Saddam; not with Kohl (bearer of the Medal of Freedom, Chancellor 1982-1998), nor with Schröder (in fact, his coalition partner, the Greens, reduced the arms exports).
