In my humble opinion it was these folks, and all the other rat bastards who corrupted the 'oil for food programme' that are responsible for the Iraq war. It was the money these crooks siphoned to Saddam that allowed him to continue to thumb his nose at UN sanctions. These illegal kickbacks also allowed Saddam to at least appear to be a legitimate buyer on the underground weapons market, and to believe he could bribe enough people to insulate himself from further UN Security council action, so that he could safely ignore UN resolution, after resolution.
I am no fan of Bush, but I do not believe he ever would would have had a chance to do what he did if the UN sanctions had not been circumvented in the first place.
In my opinion, all those who are found guilty of corrupting 'oil for food' are just as responsible for the Iraq war as any neocon, so they too have the blood on their hands of all those who have died. Small fines are not nearly enough punishment for this lot. Hang them all!
