Could be. Also, I think the oil for food keeps the Iraqi people down. They aren't being allowed the same wealth that other countries rich in natural resources are blessed with.

Okay, this is what I found about the Oil for Food Program with just a quick search at Un.org. Oil For Food

This is the last paragraph:
"Oil-for-Food Plus: The Programme, as outlined in the latest report of the Secretary-General, has been expanded beyond its initial emphasis on food and medicines. Its scope and level of funding includes infrastructure rehabilitation and covers 24 sectors: food, food-handling, health, nutrition, electricity, agriculture and irrigation, education, transport and telecommunications, water and sanitation, housing, settlement rehabilitation (internally displaced persons - IDPs), mine action, special allocation for especially vulnerable groups, and oil industry spare parts and equipment. The Government of Iraq introduced the following 10 new sectors in June 2002: construction, industry, labour and social affairs, Board of Youth and Sports, information, culture, religious affairs, justice, finance, and Central Bank of Iraq."

Yeah, Kofi, judging from the things I'm hearing those programs seem to working out real well. Idiot.

Yes, and the French don't want to give up control of the $$$ any time soon.
