iraq/wheat/our trops, page-30

I think you will find that the Yanks started this form of trading and perfected it. Now us and others are doing it, they do not like missing out. Any trading involving an oil exporter is tainted, always has been. Also trading with a Middle East country has always been on the kick back basis as is trading in Asia. We can't jump on our moral high horse nor can Iraq now. What I object to is a country complaining while we are supplying troops whose lives are in danger...they can't have it both ways. What price is a lost life, damn more than $300 million.
