Toad mentioned something about the level of corruption in the oil for food deal earlier.

At least three senior UN officials may have looted millions of dollars from the aid program that oversaw Saddam Hussein's oil sales in Iraq, ABC news reported, citing US and European intelligence sources.

Documents from Saddam's oil ministry linked the program's director, Benon Sevan, to a payoff scheme that allowed some 270 foreign officials to deal in Iraqi oil at dramatically reduced prices, ABC news said

Why should Iraqis hate the West?

And John Kerry wants the UN to be in charge of our military. At least on odd numbered days.

I'd be terribly surprised if anyone here was terribly surprised.

Don't blame me if I don't know where he stands from one day to the next.
