In making a point elsewhere Incertonia passed along an article from the NY Post, Rupert Murdochs NYC paper.The link (http://nypost.com/business/23936.htm)
I found the blurb at the PPS quite interesting, especially coming from such a right wing publication.
"Here's some more bad news about Iraq.
A source in the intelligence community tells me that the U.N. oil embargo of Saddam Hussein was worthless because Iraqi oil was being shipped all these years to a Caribbean island called St. Eustatius, unloaded into onshore tanks and then reloaded into U.S.-bound tanker ships.
The same switcheroo is being done with Iranian oil, I'm told.
Oh, and the source says Washington would rather nobody know about this."
**hangs and shakes his head**
