We have been told repeatedly that Saddam starved his people so that he could build numerous palaces. I have not seen ONE photo of Iraqis that indicates starvation. Before we got there, that is.

Maybe what we are really being told is that Saddam, in order to build numerous palaces, withholds funds from education, hospitals, the elderly, children, health care, construction projects, remedial environmental actions, environmentally sound cars and heating plants and experimental fuels...?

Why does that sound familiar?
