Now Oz'es monopoly grain export company AWB faces the loss of its

Sorry *******s helped Saddam snub his nose at UN sanctions after the
first gulf war. If these traitors did not help Saddam then perhaps the
war would not have been needed. Perhaps sanctions would have worked.

Guess what? We don't really give a rat's ass. We're gonna prosecute the
silly *******s for carelessness & arrogance, not for selling wheat.
They broke the 11th commandment.

As for the war, go peddle it elsewhere. You've been in favour of it all
along. At least up until recently when it seems to *finally* be sinking
in that it's going tits-up in a big way. Now you're looking for a
scapegoat. Heh.

Reminds me of the lifecycle of software development projects.

1. Enthusiasm

2. Disillusionment

3. Panic.

4. Search for the guilty

5. Punishment of the innocent

6. Rewards for those who avoided any commitment.

Seems you've finally reached stage 4. Congratulations!
