t r u t h o u t - US Backed Illegal Iraqi Oil Deals - Report:
Thank whatever God you belive in, George Galloway threw it in their faces.
"Tuesday 17 May 2005
Report claims blind eye was turned to sanctions busting by American firms.
The United States administration turned a blind eye to extensive sanctions-busting in the prewar sale of Iraqi oil, according to a new Senate investigation.
A report released last night by Democratic staff on a Senate investigations committee presents documentary evidence that the Bush administration was made aware of illegal oil sales and kickbacks paid to the Saddam Hussein regime but did nothing to stop them.
The scale of the shipments involved dwarfs those previously alleged by the Senate committee against UN staff and European politicians like the British MP, George Galloway, and the former French minister, Charles Pasqua."
