OIL FOR FOOD----US VERSION----HERE What? Give Iraqi farmers the oil for food?
First step in getting the money to the Iraqi people. Iraq grows a lot of food. This deal will assure that they grow more and more. Contrast the US effort with the UN "Oil for Scum" program HERE Major quote: "The U.S. General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress, estimates that Saddam Hussein accumulated more than $6 billion from illegal oil smuggling and kickbacks from the program between 1997 and 2001." That's kickbacks folks. From the UN.
AND THEN THERE'S GOOD OLD RUSSIA, HERE A big fat "nyet" unless they are compensated for stealing, helping Saddam to steal, and flat cheating. They are the same old Soviet; KGB thug Putin is as bad as the French.
