>From the Duelfer Report (the same report which said Saddam did NOT possess WMD).
http://www2.cia.gov/iraqs_wmd_vol1.pdf pp 138-180 gives a detailed account with actual figures which would even impress your former teaching colleague. The Oil For Food program was clearly corrupted so that Saddam could acquire hard currency. From 1996 to 2002, more than $11 billion was diverted from the Oil For Food program. $11 billion skimmed from a program which brought $14 billion is a payday any New Jersey politician would be impressed with. Regarding the Al Qaeda claims, I haven't seen any member rolls to see what the American impact was. However, Captain Caveman himself, in his stump speech for Kerry Friday, said "over 15,000 of our people have been killed and tens of thousands injured". http://tinyurl.com/5529i Now that I have cited proof for you, can you cite one primary source on Iraq which says we have been defeated in any battles?
