Aculeus...anyone with a smidgeon of knowledge about international affairs knows that the money through sanctions was getting through to Iraq, but Saddam himself cared little for his people, and used the money for his own benefit.

Also, much of the Food for Oil programme money lay idle in FRENCH banks.

People like Pilger and Fisk AMAZE me.
For one minute I don't doubt that they believe Saddam Hussein to be a bad man. But they prefer to point the finger at Western Governments rather than single out reponsibility to the person who actually causes the pain.

Then when the Western Governments decide to FIX the problem. They argue for the dictator 'underdog'.

I work with a guy, who is a former Reuteurs journalist, who at one point worked with Robert Fisk. He regards Fisk as a 'detached wanker'.

I'm getting really MAD now typing this post so I should stop.

But I hope these guys get their heads out of their own arses soon. Before the shit fills their nostrils and they can't smell the coffee!
