The Food for Oil program has been organized so that the Iraqis get a month's worth of items at a time. There are 55000 distribution points, and the food is exchanged for loyalty - one reason why Saddam had a 100% turnout for his recent 'election,' which was up from a 98% turnout at his previous election.

Starting in January, the distribution was stepped up with people told that they were getting advance supplies to tide them over any open hostilities.
