"The Duelfer report showed that Saddam was systematically gaming the system, using the U.N. oil-for-food program to try to influence countries and companies in an effort to undermine sanctions," Bush said as he prepared to fly to campaign events in Wisconsin. "He was doing so with the intent of restarting his weapons program once the world looked away."

From this they conclude that President Bush is saying the OFF program is the reason we attacked Iraq? What a gigantic leap that is.

He is saying that Saddam fooled the world into believing he had WMD, and then bribed many into helping to delay the gathering storm against him.

Yes... the UN itself is complicit in helping Saddam to evade the sanctions that might have contained him and averted war. An issue the Michael Moore Left in America overlooks.
