It's been rumored that much of the oil-for-food commodities never got to the people, but went to Saddam's cronies and were re-sold on the black market to enrich themselves. This find tends to support that and similar accusations that Saddam deliberately mismanaged oil-for-food to make the USA look bad.

This isn't the only warehouse they have found like this, is it?

Where were the UN aid workers in all of this? They were supposed to be on the ground to receive the aid and distribute. They were the ones that hightailed it out of Iraq before we attacked.
Does the UN expect us to believe that they didn't know Saddam was doing this?
IMO the UN shouldn't even be involved in humanitarian aid -- they are unqualified!
