LMAO, Johnny. But, you know, a bitch with a long beard would have a great place to hide nail clippers when trying to get a plane to go to Hawaii. [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]
Anyway, we need to do up an "Honorary American Hardass" plaque just for you.

According to the article, the claim is made that US buyers were responsible for more than half of the $224M in kick-backs. Let's suppose they were responsible for 2/3 of that amount, or about $150M. Out of the $8B Iraq made from the illegal sales that comes to a whopping 2%. [img]graemlins/erm.gif[/img] That hardly qualifies as a scandal.
It looks like the main thrust of this particular article comes from an investigation being spearheaded by a Democrat; most likely he is trying to somehow discredit the current administration. However, a vast majority of illegal activities relating to Iraq would have happened under Clinton's watch.
