Saddam's ability or inability to buy weapons instead of medicines.

Can anyone enlighten me on this issue please?
 
Please forgive me if I seem a bit naive but can Saddam Hussain buy weapons from the West easier than he can buy medicines for the people of Iraq. It is frequently stated in the mainstream press and news reports that Saddam spends all his aid money on reinforcing his military rather than on the hospital supplies and medicines that are so obviously desperately needed.
