So, tell me again

Just how the UN sanctions were supposed to be "containing" Saddam?

The London Telegraph reports this morning that a senior French diplomat has confessed to accepting money from Saddam Hussein in exchange for his access to and influence with UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. The former UN ambassador for France claims that the allocations given to him through Tariq Aziz came in recognition of his "work for the Iraqi people", but nonetheless acknowledges its illegality:


Saddam was bribing just about everybody that he could in the UN. He was lining his pockets and getting away with just about anything. And yet the brain-dead Left, the self-named (and often parodied) "reality-based" community, continues to assert that UN sanctions were working.

Uh huh. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Go read Captain Ed to see just how corrupt the UN truly is.
