...the only reason the U.N. had for opposing the liberation of Iraq and the overthrow of the Ba'athist regime of Saddam Hussein:
CRUDE AWAKENING FOR U.N. SLICKSTERS (http://nypost.com/news/worldnews/38017.htm)
Investigators from the House International Relations Committee said several current and former officials in Iraq's Oil, Health and Transportation ministries have told them that U.N. staffers assigned to the "661 Committee" — the U.N. Security Council group that oversaw sanctions and approved oil-for-food contracts — regularly took bribes and kickbacks from suppliers of aid to Iraq during the program.
And, of course we know, France and Russia were selling Saddam arms and military supplies. Germany, although we may eventually find the connection, may just be a prick of a country.
History will not view these entities kindly, I am certain.
