Saddam is/was not a Stupid man. The Oil for Food program created a system where he could seriously enrich himself. He had no reason, in fact quite the opposite, to do what was needed to get the sanctions lifted. He _wanted_ and needed the sanctions. Wihtout the sanction, he would have no way to sift $10B out of the Iraq economy.
