Senator, this is the mother of all smokescreens. You are trying to divert attention from the crimes that you supported, from the theft of billions of dollars of Iraq's wealth. Have a look at a real oil for food scandal. Have a look at the 14 months you were in charge of Baghdad, first 14 months, when 8.8 billion dollars of Iraq's wealth went missing - on your watch. Have a look at Halliburton and other american corporations that stole not only Iraq's money, but money of the american taxpayer. Have a look at the oil that you didn't even meter that you were shipping out of the country and selling, the proceeds of which went who knows where. Have a look at the 800 million dollars that you gave to the military commanders, the handout around the country, without even counting it, or weighing it. Have a look at the real scandal breaking in the newspapers today, revealed in the ?? testimony in this committee - that the biggest sanctions busters were not me, or Russian politicians, or French politicians - the real sanctions busters were your own companies with the connivance of your own government.
