I've read plenty about this...

...but I thought that since it was in a major news outlet I would finally post. To summarize, the U.N. Oil-for-food program that was set up to allow Saddam to acquire cash to "feed his people" was instead, allegedly, used to funnel billions directly to Saddam. It was also a means for Saddam to bribe members of the UN as well as some countries. The two most prominent were France and Russia, who incidentally were the two nations most responsible for blocking any decisive action by the U.N. during the lead up to the war. Whether one had anything to do with another is of course impossible to know, but it is suggestive.
