To summarize it briefly here, however, a program that was meant to underpin sanctions against Saddam Hussein's Iraq by moderating its effects on innocent Iraqis with humanitarian aid became a joint venture by Saddam, senior U.N. officials, and public figures in Security Council member states such as France and Russia to divert many billions in oil revenues into their various pockets; to bribe governments, companies, and individuals in Saddam's behalf; to establish a network of corrupt cronies beholden to Saddam around the world; to build up Saddam's machinery of war and oppression in Iraq; and to do little or nothing for the ordinary Iraqis who were the poster children for the entire enterprise.
My country comes clean up, we had nothing to do with the oil for food thing.
But I realized long ago that facts does not matter. Many here cannot and will not understand that Germanys opposition to the war in Iraq had nothing to do with economy, hiding things or something like that. It was Schröders pure emergency exit from the polls which already have seen him as the loser of last elections. Well, Iraq and floodings in large parts of the country lead to his narrow re-election. That´s all. It was just a political thing, and you will never find any government-authorized arms deals with Iraq, etc.
I know, it´s easier to make a country looking bad if you can put some criminal or corrupt behaviour on its government...
