I can guarantee you that if we wanted to take out the oil infrastructure in Iraq, that not a drop of oil would move. We don't want to do that, but we could. Which totally wipes out the argument of letting the oil fall into the hands of the terrorists.

As for the oil for food program...it was a UN program designed to let oil out of the country. Was there a tanker truck or three that made it out? I imagine there was. And was there graft...yes. That would not happen under a full effort by the airforce to "not let a drop out". You're comparing apples with oranges.

I'm for free, fair and representative government. But what this government has become is beyond the worst fears of president Eisenhower. The military industrial complex is out of control and you are one of it's cheerleaders.
