Skunk, you are simply unlearned on this issue. The several American vessels patrolling the Iraqi waters catch:
1. Outbound illegal (i.e. against the oil-for-food program) oil, and
2. Inbound weapons
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????

Do you work for no money? Why do you expect the Iraqi sewage workers, Garbage workers etc to work for no cash? Iraq HAS sell oil outside the sanctions or the entire system will collapse - more civilians will die from sickness and disease if you don't pay these guys (for example).
Inbound weapons - well, do the police in your area have no guns at their disposal? What about the army? So why not Iraq?
