Saddam was spending the food monies on goodies. The "food money." Iraq, if it was sensibly run, is quite capable of feeding itself.

Jeeze, one person. Thanks for figuring it out. Oil for food, there's a joke. Oil for arms and palaces, that's what went on. Saddam is also the money launderer for blowing up kids to kill innocent Jews. Launders money for al Queida also. He's the behind the scenes guy for most of the terrorism. Now that said we have 8 bases already built in Iraq. In the no fly zone. I'd guess we already have 2,000 people in place in country, probably more. GPS for every bomb and cruise whopper. The Russians couldn't beat the taliban in years even being a direct access. The US did it in a month with 8,000 pairs of boots on the ground.
