I can't understand why the US would be so reticent to expose ANY nation that was doing this in a clear attempt to contravene our efforts to neuter Sadaam. Especially, in light of information coming out about how the Russians profited from the Oil-for-Food debacle. Putin is not our friend. I hope the President realizes this.
Nonsense! The Russias were being pragmatic. Russia was owed billions by Saddam, and that was one of the reasons they did not want us to invade. The oil for food profits Russia received were simply payback on money owed to them.
