HEY, CAN I GET ME SOME SANCTIONS LIKE WE GAVE SADDAM?
Congressional investigators said Thursday that Saddam Hussein's government reaped $10.1 billion in illegal revenues related to the U.N. oil-for-food program -- much more than previous estimates.

The General Accounting Office has concluded that Saddam received $5.7 billion from oil smuggled out of Iraq and $4.4 billion in illicit surcharges on oil sales and purchases of commodities, according to testimony prepared for the House Financial Services oversight and investigations subcommittee.
