Saddam's Wife, Daughter Indicted; Iran Bled Dry By Iraq?

   This is interesting: via [1]Roggio, Saddam Hussein's wife and daughter
   [2]are the subject of an Interpol arrest warrant for funding Baathist
   insurgents in Iraq. Given the dramatic turnaround in Anbar, one has to
   wonder if the looted oil money is beginning to run dry.
   Meanwhile, there are also reports floating around that Iran is having
   trouble financing their meddling in Iraq, which might help explain why
   a socialist oil-rich government is [3]rationing gasoline to its own
   populace even as oil prices go ever higher. Do most Iranians want to
   pay for a war against freedom in Iraq even as they can't afford gas? I
   bet that isn't a popular policy.
