Then GWB comes back and redeems himself

By essentially saying “If you didn’t bleed in Iraq, don’t bid.” Before you go crying about this being all about payoffs and cronyism, note that

1. Iraqis are eligible for reconstruction contracts; and
2. It’s not like there isn’t ample evidence that France, Russia, and Germany were violating the “Oil for Food” program before the war, including selling arms to Iraq as recently as 2002.

BTW - I’ve been digging on Australian wines lately. Taste like French, ‘cept less jingoism and more dingo-ism. AND the labels are all in English.
