My two observations:

In another craven move, the U.N.'s Iraq program even allowed Saddam to dictate in October 2000 that he no longer wanted the Oil-for-Food accounts to be held in the currency of the enemy, meaning U.S. dollars. Obediently, the U.N. switched all Iraq funds from that stage forward to euros, in effect helping Saddam impose his own version of sanctions on the U.S.

Recall the stock market in October 2000?

Under the guise of the U.N.’s “Oil For Food” program, the U.N. has collected more than $1.2 billion each year in fees by administering the transfer of at least $15 billion a year. These fees alone pay the salaries of more than 4,000 U.N. employees.

Doesn't that work out to $300K a year? Nice salary for these "global humanitarians".
