Bushies are much more corrupt that the UN. The rampant gas-gouging, pork barrel spendathon, polluter and oil company corporate welfare and phony energy crises aside, there's at least 9 billion of OUR money missing in Iraq, plus huge overcharges by the likes of Halliburton which are being swept under the carpet because the boss is the VP.

This makes hanky-panky during the oil-for-food program, which by the way included major US oil companies Bush pals like Exxon and Chevron as well, look fairly insignificant. But all we hear from the rightwing is outrage over oil-for-food graft. And there has been an investigation which cleared the UN leadership.

Also, what did you expect from middlemen pals of Saddam? Of course they're going to cheat and smuggle. Iraq is a corrupt country and always has been. Besides, the US was in the UN too. Why didn't we -- ?

Oh, I get it. CLinton was in charge then so this is a way for Bushies to point the finger at much smaller corruption while they get away with much bigger corruption in the present. Of course. As always. Like ignoring the fact 9-11 happened on Bush's watch and pointing fingers at Clinton for not killing Osama 7 years ago. But then Clinton did try. Ever since we let him go at Tora Bora though, Bush has ignored Osama. That was three years ago and four years after 9-11. Terrorism increased 400% this year over last with Bush in charge. No wonder you guys want to change the subject.

Hey, what do you think of Cheney's Halliburton selling Iran nuclear components in the 90's? Going to point the finger at Cliton for something else? LOL Get real. The biggest crooks are all on the far right now, wearing suits and working with Bush-Cheney. Energy gouging alone could total a trillion bucks by the time they're finished with us.

In March 2003, Limbot and other guys were snubbing the offers of UN and countries like France, Germany to help in the reconstruction of Iraq. Limbot's attitude was one of "we won it and it is all ours". Many of his callers resonated his view.

That was then.

The UN need not prove anything here. Dumbya and his ilk "won" Iraq and it is now all yours!
