The UN Oil For Food scandal? That is bad, to be sure, but what of the "Haliburton Missing Equipment" scandal? The "Missing Billions" scandal in the Coalition Provisional Authority under Paul Bremer?
What passes for media in America today is a joke, it makes Pravda and Tass of the old USSR look like paragons of honest journalism in comparison. Where were the calls for investigating the scandals, that occured under our authority, in Iraq? Could it be that once again the thugs and criminals of the republican party, in ignoring those events, are merely demonstrating the modus operendi of placing party above everything? That was a rhetorical question, of course.
For a good reprise of the lapses of the CPA under Bremer, see this article from August, 2004:

Such stories will never be seen on CNN, MSNBC or Republican TV, Fox News and that my friends is why America is going the way of Italy and Germany in the 1930s.
