You know what happened to the oil-for-food money once W got his war, don't you, Nadine? Pallets full of $100 bills, airlifted in on military transports, all "carefully accounted for", in true W "personal responsibility" fashion.

And the money that didn't go for food, that went for bribes to Russia and France and Al Jazeera, Saddam had nothing to do with that either? Saddam had the best food aid distribution program the UN had ever seen. You should read up on that. I'm not sure you've got the bribes thing exactly right. Contractors were bribing Saddam through kickbacks to get deals on the oil. US contractors were responsible for 52% of the bribes back to Saddam. You should certainly know about the more famous one. Bay Oil. Chevron recently settled a case with Justice and Exxon is still in the works for a settlement or prosecution. It sounds like you're still pissed off that Chirac was right. Maybe you didn't see these question... Tell me Nadine, how many Iraqis have died since we set foot in Iraq? How come we don't have any of the IDF in Anbar province? You prefer American targets? I've got more questions also, like ... How many of Iraqis and Iranians were put in those mass graves while Reagan was supporting Saddam? TIA, jttmab
