Saddam was using his oil revenue to buy the French, Russians and Germans and for sanction busting. That's why the sanctions will not work against Iran. Poeple have their hands in the cookie jar.
It's kinda ironic that those where the three UN member nations that were against the invasion.. Food for Oil anyone?
Terrorists? IDF Soldier Say Hamas fighters not terrorists, but soldiers Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
Well, to be fair, American firms were investigated by the Senate for playing in food for oil as well. The crooks live next door, as well as down the street.
@diex you still haven't told me which of the liberal principles you don't agree with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism
Monkey see, monkey do.. It's tweedle dee and tweedle dumber. It's amazing to me that grab my heat, who constantly tells us how he'd like to see Jews die, mistakes my position against this for anti-semitism. Like Ron White says, "you can't fix stupid"... It is funny to watch though...
Link me to a post where I said "I would like to see Jews die". Anyway, so you are admitting you know better than the Israeli Army itself? Are you really this delusional?
And that's connected with americans protecting me in Iraq...how? Better food for oil than blood for oil any day.
That is essentially what food for oil was.. Do you really think any food or benefit of any kind was going directly to the Iraqi people? It's called a hyperlink.. What you do (and this works on Windows and the Mac) is move your mouse over the link, then click the right mouse button. (just the one button, if you are using a Mac).. Wait a few seconds, unless you are on dialup, and you should see results appear. If you need more help with this, please do let me know. I own an ISP and have helped some of the most computer illiterate people on the planet..
And yet the West continued it until over 500,000 people died. I find it fascinating when genocide becomes a business opportunity.
Just like I've said: better food for oil than blood for oil any day. Do you really think all those people died for food or benefit of any kind of the Iraqi people? So US didn't supported Sadam back in the day? US companies didn't benefited from Iraq at all?
