The Beneficiaries of Saddam's Oil Vouchers: The List of 270 The following report from MEMRI's Baghdad office is a translation of an article which appeared in the Iraqi daily Al-Mada,(1) which obtained lists of 270 companies, organizations, and individuals awarded allocations (vouchers) of crude oil by Saddam Hussein's regime. The beneficiaries reside in 50 countries: 16 Arab, 17 European, 9 Asian, and the rest from sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. Only a portion of the 270 recipients are listed and identified. Background The following points should be taken into consideration: First, MEMRI is not responsible for the accuracy of the details with regard to the names listed or the amount of oil granted. Second, all names listed in the original were in Arabic. Some of those are transliterated into English phonetically, and may not be precise. Third, denials by those whose names appear in this dispatch are footnoted. Fourth, the issuing of vouchers by Saddam's regime may have served two primary purposes: A: Payments in the form of bribes to individuals and organizations for their support of the regime. B: Vouchers may have been issued to pay for goods and services that fell under U.N. Security Council sanctions and could not be financed under the "Oil for Food" program. Goods may have included military equipment or military parts, luxury automobiles that Saddam distributed as gifts inside and outside Iraq, and general luxury goods for the benefit of high-ranking officials in the Ba'ath party and government. Fifth, the voucher recipients sold the vouchers to oil traders, who then collected the oil against the vouchers from the Kirkuk-Banias (Syria) pipeline terminal, which was operating in contravention of the Security Council sanctions. The pipeline carried 200,000 barrels per day of Iraqi oil, which benefited Syria greatly. Al-Mada's Article The following are excerpts from the article: "Under this professional and electrifying title, there are names that have nothing to do with oil companies, or the distribution, storage, and marketing of oil. They are not known for having any interest in oil or any links to oil companies, such as the Russian Orthodox Church and the Russian Communist Party. "As far as the individuals, the situation is even more puzzling. We can understand that the journalist Hameeda Na'Na', who defended the former regime, was trying to perpetuate her independent journalistic endeavor through an oil deal, but it is strange to find the names of Khaled, son of the late Gamal Abd Al-Nasser, in those lists, or Toujan Al-Faisal, former member of the Jordanian parliament, or the present Indonesian president, or the son of the Syrian defense minister, or the son of the Lebanese president." Saddam's Exploitation of U.N. Sanctions "Since the deposed regime endorsed the 'Memorandum of Understanding,' also known as 'oil for food [program],' it turned it into a despicable political and commercial game, and used it to finance its clandestine acquisitions of arms, expensive construction materials for the presidential palaces and mosques, and frivolous luxury items. It turned the oil sales agreements into the greatest bribery operation in history, buying souls and pens, and squandering the nation's resources. "Since then, rumors were abound about vouchers that Saddam gave to certain Arab and foreign dignitaries, providing them with crude oil in exchange for their support to the regime in a period of international isolation, and as a way to finance the campaign to lift the economic sanctions against it and to whitewash its image. "However, the regime itself tarnished the moral and humane ethics of the international campaign to lift the unjust sanctions, because by the end of the day the sanctions did not harm it [the regime], but harmed our poor people and the middle class. We saw that whenever the international campaign to lift the sanctions got closer to its goals, the regime - by its behavior and insolence - shoved it again into a dark tunnel, and at the same time turned our country into a free-for-all richly loaded dining table, awaiting a stream of hearty eaters and obedient servants. "One of the traits of our country's fascist regime is that it lacked decency and was always in need to use others in order to feel superior. Therefore, it corrupted even those who had good intentions and noble goals when defending the Iraqi people and trying to lift the siege imposed on it. The regime was versed only in the politics of the 'open wallet,' and therefore surrounded itself with people that it could co-opt and people who would panhandle for it, so that it could feel moral superiority over them. "And if one happened to know some of the official Ba'athists, who did not hesitate - because of their rural values - to boast and to [assume] moral superiority, one would have heard a lot from them about the ever-increasing number of visitors to Iraq in recent years, and would have understood from them that those visitors who came to defend us also came to cash in the price for that. We can confirm this information because the Ba'athists themselves, in a moment of 'rural pompousness,' propagated the rumors about the Arab and foreign visitors. They mentioned some of the names listed here, among them George Galloway, member of the [British] Labor party. "The case of Mr. Galloway is truly distressing. This man, who defended just Arab causes, became a loser as he got closer to the Iraqi regime. Galloway, who was banished from the party for this reason and who defended himself vehemently, and even attacked Tony Blair's and Bush's policies, will not be able - in my opinion - to refute Iraqi documents that incriminate him conclusively. "In addition to the lists mentioned above, Al-Mada also obtained six requests from the executive director and the associate executive director of the Oil Marketing Company to the Oil Minister 'to approve the crude oil agreements.' All of them mentioned the name of Mr. Galloway, not as a party in the agreement, but as a recipient, since Mr. Galloway hides behind a company that does not carry his name nor his nationality. "The manner by which these agreements were struck sheds light on the process of awarding the vouchers and the goodwill of the President of the Republic [Saddam]. That is why we wish to decipher it, especially since the lists include some individual names such as 'Samir,' and no one knows whether it belongs to an individual or to a company."

The former British Labour member of Parliament and longtime supporter of Saddam Hussein, George Galloway, is mentioned in the article a number of times as a recipient of some 17 million barrels of oil, which allegedly were funneled to him through a number of different companies. Galloway had been accused of getting money from Hussein in 2002 by the British newspaper "The Daily Telegraph" and denied the charges at that time.

Ok ex-MP Galloway, you got some 'splainin to do!

Galloway is also purported to be the "great newphew" of ARAFAT.

Definitely. Here's hoping the new Iraqi government takes legal action for restitution against them all...

Saddam was handing out barrels of oil by the millions as if they were nothing more than tips to a doorman. No wonder he had so many allies come to his defense. He was a very benevolent man (except to his own people).

In case the amounts of money involved here escapes your attention, remember that Iraqi oil on the open market fetches on average about $28 a barrel.

Galloway threatens to sue Telegraph

By Ciar Byrne
The Guardian
April 22, 2003

Labour MP George Galloway today vowed to sue the Daily Telegraph for libel over its explosive front page story alleging that he was in the pay of Saddam Hussein.

"I have never seen a barrel of oil, owned a barrel of oil, bought or sold a barrel of oil..."

http://foi.missouri.edu/evolvingissues/galloway2.html

Palestinians: The Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) received 4 million barrels. The PLO Political Bureau received 5 million barrels. Abu Al-Abbas received 11.5 million barrels. Abdallah Al-Horani received 8 million barrels. The PFLP received 5 million barrels. Wafa Tawfiq Al-Sayegh received 4 million barrels.

--at, as you say, $28 a barrel.

But Saddam didn't support terrorists.

This and many more related items will be revealed as time goes on , and when in the best interests of America.(instead of covering for BJ's in the WH)

Teddy Roosevelt's statement, "speak softly, but carry a big stick" (paraphrasing mine) is a tactic seemingly adopted by the President.

Here's a phrase I made up that I believe fits the current president more.

"A man whose word is good, doesn't have to repeat himself."

Notice President Bush doesn't use the opportunities the press gives him, to attack or expose those who attack him. He won't even speak unkindly about them in the press. I think he follows the "If you can't say something good, say nothing" principle.

I know that with past Presidents, I have detested many of them for their actions, comparing them to myself.

With this President, I find myself looking UP, not DOWN.

Remember to read this article well and notice who was the most VOCAL about "I NEVER WAS BRIBED WITH OIL" , as recently as this week.

LIARS OFTEN EXPOSE THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY DON"T KNOW WHEN TO SHUT UP.

Remember, the people on this list have contributed to:
WHAT YOU PAY FOR GAS and OIL
The DEATHS of AMERICAN SERVICEMEN and WOMEN.
The DEATHS of MANY HUMAN BEINGS on this planet whose only crime was being in the WRONG PLACE at the WRONG TIME.
THE DEATHS OF over 3000 people and loss of the WTC, the OKC building, the USS Cole, The US Olympics (everybody forgets that one), The Marine barracks in Beirut, the Olympic games with hostages held and some killed, etc.

THESE PEOPLE PROFITED WHILE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY DIED.

And now they want to lie about it, and have you kiss their ass. That's all I ask you to think about.

Here is some 'proof'. Sometimes a WMD is a bribe.

Hmmm....wonder if there are any ties to George Soros in this anywhere?

That is the name of the game. The Chinese bought Clinton/Gore and Democrat Party here and if you follow the money it goes to all the poiliticians in DC.
I venture to say there is not a Congress Person with any clout at all that is not bought and payed for by someone. At least there is always someone they cant say no to.
The average person supposedly elects them but they ALL march to the tune of money,especially lobbyist.

Indonesia: Indonesian President Megawati received 1 million barrels as "the daughter of President Sukarno," and 1 million barrels as Megawati.

It'll be interesting to see how that one plays out.

I kept looking for the Democratic National Committee (US) on the list. Just about every other socialist/communist organization in the world was a beneficiary of the oh-so-benevolent Saddam Hussein.

As Paul Harvey always states; "And Now You Know The Rest Of The Story......"

Let's not forget the UN, they were the biggest offenders - "Food for Oil", please.

Granted the list is not yet complete, but something tells me we won't be seeing Halliburton on it.

But there sure are a lot of Commies and Lefties on that list.

Yes. Democrat,Republican,other, no matter what affiliation.

Power corrupts those whose goal is power.

bump

A delegation from the church visited Iraq prior to the war, where the head of the delegation handed Hussein a letter of support from Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Aleksii II.

Somehow I missed this at the time.

It certainly explains what Saddam was buying from the Russian Orthodox Church. But what the heck did the Orthodox think they were getting from Saddam?

Or perhaps I should be asking, what they heck did they do with the money they got from 5 million barrels of oil?
