Umm, if 16 million out of 24 million are on government food program it seems to me, that the oil for food program did exactly what it was supposed to do, ie. give the government supplies to feed the people. It's not like each private Iraqi would have a bucket of oil each day to go exchange for a sandwhich with a tourist behind the border or something. ;)
No comment on what else that program achieved.
BTW - wasn't it sadly hilarious when Bush referred to Iraqis as educated people. The punchline is, that before Gulf War 91, Iraq had 89% literacy. Last year they had 59% literacy. :/
