Subject: RE: BS: Bush, Iraq, and War: PART EIGHT
Troll, after 11 years of sanctions, Iraqi support for Saddam has never been higher. 11 years ago they wanted his boney butt out -- now they think of him as a hero for standing up to the evil Americans and Brits for destroying their water treatment plants, food processing plants, medical facilities and embargoing dangerous military items like medicine.

For the record, money generated under the Oil For Food program does NOT go to Saddam. It goes into a trust account in New York that he can't touch and CAN'T spend on weapons. He never has control over that money, the UN does and only the UN.

As for mounting a PR campaign, Psy-Ops does it all the time. Shortwave radio is still very much alive and well in poorer countries, and it's the primary source of news in many places.
