  Why must I have school to distract me from being up on everything current? Political events are too much fun right now to be considering post-colonial discourse. A presentation to be given next week that I haven't even read the material for. So the story that no one's going to give enough time to in the AP world of news coverage? the Oil for Food program. Do I have sufficient time to rant about this? I printed out Claudia (ick) Rosett's article _ urlLink Oil-for-Terror?_ this morning assuming I'd bring it with me to class tonight or try to read it before. And quite honestly, my brain is a bit too fried to give this its due. But suffice it to say, this better not be brushed aside as another episode of mismanagement a la Enron.
This is some big shit with far reaching implications. Should a full scale and thorough (+ multifaceted) investigation be launched into Russia, Germany and Frances' involvement with the, what, $ 25Billion dollars Saddam was able to siphon off from the program?s funds? Is everyone (Including fucking John Kerry! ) going to admit now that the are in fact links between Al Queda and Iraq? The Taliban? The UN had better sort this shit out or disband already. This is some / serious / stuff here, folks. This shouldn't be a topic/concern that goes away anytime soon, so do yourself a favor and start reading up on it now.
