Sometimes even dumb old people notice things.
Like, if Saddam built 100 new palaces after sanctions, he might have been skimming a little off the oil for food program. And running a little black market here and there, but Chevron executives wouldn't know anything about that.

Or when the Shaw of Iran was overthrown, his forces had only American made weapons except for a few French Mirage airplanes. Yet they were able to fight an eight year war with Iraq while the US banned any spare part sales to Iran for the equipment.

Looks like those black and redneck workers back at McDonald Douglas knew how to build a hell of an airplane.
