HUME: Is it unfair to suspect that the size of the French role in this scandal might have been a motivation for France to oppose the war, which is what brought the records to light?

ROSETT: Oh, money is a huge motivator. And one other thing, once you bribe somebody, if that's what's happening, you know, these things remains to be proven and the U.N. kept the records are secret. So it's very hard to get at. That's what Paul Volcker (search) will now have to do in this investigation.

But once you bribe somebody, he has the goods on you. He can blackmail you. So -- and remember, if Saddam had actually -- anyone -- he, who accepted a bribe from him, was then in a position to be exposed by him and probably had more to lose than did Saddam. So could this have influenced the French, the Russians, the Chinese? Absolutely.

That's why we can't trust the UN with anything -- they are nothing, but a bunch of America-hating bureaucrats with their hands out to be bribed by the first dictator or terrorist, willing to grease their palms.
