Let's ask our liberal friends who think we are beating up on the UN what they think of the mounting evidence that some of the money Saddam stole from the Oil for Food program ended up funding terror attacks on the United States.
Claudia Rosett on Oil-for-Food & Terrorism on National Review Online:
"Oil-for-Terror? There appears to be much worse news to uncover in the Oil-for-Food scandal.
Beyond the billions in graft, smuggling, and lavish living for Saddam Hussein that were the hallmarks of the United Nations Oil-for-Food program in Iraq, there is one more penny yet to drop.
It's time to talk about Oil-for-Terror.
Especially with the U.N.'s own investigation into Oil-for-Food now taking shape, and more congressional hearings in the works, it is high time to focus on the likelihood that Saddam may have fiddled Oil-for-Food contracts not only to pad his own pockets, buy pals, and acquire clandestine arms but also to fund terrorist groups, quite possibly including al Qaeda.
There are at least two links documented already. Both involve oil buyers picked by Saddam and approved by the U.N. One was a firm with close ties to a Liechtenstein trust that has since been designated by the U.N. itself as 'belonging to or affiliated with Al Qaeda.' The other was a Swiss-registered subsidiary of a Saudi oil firm that had close dealings with the Taliban during Osama bin Laden's 1990's heyday in Afghanistan."

I know our lefty friends are in denial about quite a bit these days. Oh, they sure can chirp "Halliburton" without the slightest evidence of impropreity regarding that U.S. company. But just for fun (if the matter weren't deadly serious) let's see how they respond to mounting proof of Saddam's connection to Al Queda (cite them the unanimous 911 Commission report if they still don't get it. Numerous bits of evidence detailing contacts between Saddam and Al Queda).
