Even worse, during the criminally inept Clinton years, we were paying the crooks at the UN to ship food and medicine to those hundreds of thousands of starving children. The checks were cashed, of course, but the children never saw the food or medicine. There were a few warehouses full of UN stuff, for PR purposes only, when our troops invaded Baghdad.

I believe you are referring to the UN's "Oil for Palaces" program.
