Hey, look again...and stop lying.

Ahem. You are grossly understating what went on with the Oil For Food scandal:

http://www.washtimes.com/op-ed/20040321-101405-2593r.htm

You say $150k condo. They say:

"But the mounting evidence of scandal that has been uncovered in the U.N. Oil For Food program suggests that there was never a serious possibility of getting Security Council support for military action because influential people in Russia and France were getting paid off by Saddam. After the fall of Baghdad last spring, France and Russia tried to delay the lifting of sanctions against Iraq and continue the Oil for Food program. That's because France and Russia profited from it: The Times of London calculated that French and Russian companies received $11 billion worth of business from Oil for Food between 1996 and 2003."

And furthermore:

"In a series of articles published earlier this year, the Iraqi independent newspaper al Mada reported on a list of several hundred individuals, corporations and political parties that benefited from Saddam's oil vouchers and explained how the system worked."

And one more thing...don't even try to say this is American "war support" propaganda. As shown, this had been reported around the world independently from any U.S. news agency. There are lists of names and what they received.

Once again, don't try telling me the U.S. is the corrupt international bully. That's a lie by those who have something to gain. I'm sorry to see you've bought in.
