Saddam & The U.N.’s Oil-for-Money-for Al Qaeda Program
By Matt Margolis | September 22, 2004
Interestingly enough, I missed this story, but during my never-ending quest to finish adding blogs to the Blogroll for Bush (yes, more and more requests are coming in daily) I came across a blog that did find the story, which suggests that Saddam was helping to fund Al Qaeda with UN Oil-for-Food program money.
Did Saddam Hussein use any of his ill-gotten billions filched from the United Nations Oil-for-Food program to help fund Al Qaeda?
Investigations have shown that the former Iraqi dictator grafted and smuggled more than $10 billion from the program that for seven years prior to Saddam’s overthrow was meant to bring humanitarian aid to ordinary Iraqis. And the Sept. 11 Commission has shown a tracery of contacts between Saddam and Al Qaeda that continued after billions of Oil-for-Food dollars began pouring into Saddam’s coffers and Usama bin Laden declared his infamous war on the U.S.
Now, buried in some of the United Nation’s own confidential documents, clues can be seen that underscore the possibility of just such a Saddam-Al Qaeda link — clues leading to a locked door in this Swiss lakeside resort.
Fascinating stuff… I urge you to read the whole story… Why hasn’t this story gotten more attention?
