Australia Reaps Iraqi Harvest
Marc Moncrief
April 4th, 2006
United Nations sanctions against Saddam Hussein may have failed to end his
regime but they succeeded in enriching both the Iraqi dictator and
corporations able to manipulate the scandal-ridden world body's Oil-for-Food
program. Among the profiteers was the Australian Wheat Board, a former
state-owned monopoly, which funneled over $200 million into Saddam's coffers
even as the "Coalition of the Willing" was preparing for invasion.
