I don't get that vibe from Pat. My guess is Pat and I are in absolute agreement on the UN, that what started out as a decent idea turned into the largest most useless bunch of corrupt self-serving assclowns ever to grace the planet, and they make Detroit and New Orleans politics look downright scrupulous by comparison.
Just a guess.....
As a somewhat related tangent for the folks who claim that the only reason we went to Iraq was to steal their oil, lets do some math. A quick web search shows me the
cost of oil peaked at about $25/barrel before the war. According to one
anti-war site we have spent just under 237 Billion dollars on the Iraq war so far. If it was just about oil, it made a lot more sense to just stop the sanctions and buy the 9.4 billion barrels of oil directly from Hussein. We will end up paying market price for the oil in any event, whether the cash goes to Hussein or a democratic Iraqi government doesn't matter, if all we care about is the oil.
