When someone asks you to discuss the Oil for Food scandal

[MichaelHarris]

ask them to explain the Soldier for Oil Scandal our president has gotten us into.

1. Oil for food. Zero = U.S. Tax dollars. Soldier for Oil = Loss of American

respect in the eyes of the world + over 10,000 seriously wounded troops + over 1,300 dead + grieving widows, children and parents + too many to count mentally disabled troops + a terrorist training ground + a worn torn country we are now responsible for rebuilding + the torture and murder of too many Iraqis to count + over 200 billion U.S. tax dollars and counting + the almost total self destruction of our own fucking volunteer army services which will cost even more money to maintain now if, it can be maintained at all. All because we was scared.
