All the time!! Every few days!!
If they are starving, why's that petty despot sending perfectly good oil out for something other than food and against UN Sanctions????
Maybe the people are starving - but it's the leader's fault. This idiot ran his country broke in the 80s building the regions second largest army (region = draw a line from India to South Africa, and pass through every country you cross). Now he only wants to buy more weapons. Throwing money and supplies at the Iraqi problem will not help.

And who helped SH build that army?
As for the current weapons purchases - every nation wants to be able to defend itself - Iraq is no exeption. And with the ever increasing aggressive rethoric from the US government, who can blame him?
