Who Did Saddam Bribe?

List Names Top Officials in France, Russia

Terror - Islam Monday, February 09, 2004 MEMRI

On January 25, 2004, a daily newspaper in Iraq called al Mada published a list of individuals and organizations who it says received oil from the now-deposed regime. Among those listed is Shakir al Khafaji, an Iraqi-American from Detroit, who ran "Expatriate Conferences" for the regime in Baghdad. Al Khafaji also contributed $400,000 to the production of Scott Ritter's film "In Shifting Sands." Finally, al Khafaji arranged travel and financing for the "Baghdad Democrats"--Jim McDermott, Mike Thompson and David Bonior--last fall. Following the trip, al Khafaji contributed $5,000 to McDermott's Legal Defense Fund.

Well, I heard that Saddam bribed a French priest at the Vatican. Can anyone confirm this?

[fhayek]

Scott Ridder. That figures. I wonder if they ever procured underage "entertainment" for him too. Just saying.

Are we really surprised? And to think I was just about to blame Halliburton for all this.

What is that on his chin? Kinda looks like Clinton's nose disease.

[tubebender]

Mike Thompson represents my District 1 here in North West Calif. With redistricting we are screwed...

[Godfollow]

What the hell is that red thing on his chin?

[Richard Axtell]

That is his chin? I thought is was his nose.

[BARLF]

LOL

Walla Walla or Wine-sap

[Richard Axtell]

Folks, I truly think this is the story of the year... we have got to make it absolutely plain and clear just who got this money, and why. And, resulting from that, we will end all the idiotic nonsense about "Bush alienating the entire World". The world the liberals think is alienated, is in actuality, corrupt. They were bribed to do the things they did, and we shouldn't either be surprised, or worry about what they think, ever again. Somewhere in there is a Kerry connection, mark my words!

[hope]

I have not heard of anything.

What the hell is that red thing on his chin?

The red chin and other areas of the face as in that photo are a sign of heavy alcohol use (actually, abuse). Alcoholic dementia could explain some of his past behavior. Or it could simply be that he an unreconstructed Marxist. I beleive it is BOTH. Har!

Who Did Saddam Bribe?

Whom

[expatpat]

It's treason and corruption.

It's time that the corruption laws need changing. Right now, the corrupt baseturds avoid prosecution by claiming their help and the cash are purely coincidental occurrences. The only way you can get them is a setup like Abscam. That needs changing.

You're right though the treasonous part should be prosecuted.

"Who Did Saddam Bribe?"

Can't be sure of that, but,
can be sure the author must have bribed his English teacher.

[g35x]

One can expect to see the Clintons on that list.

[cookcounty]

"Shakir al Khafaji,...

WOW! Wasn't # 48, captured Thursday, a Major General Al-Khafaji? Are they brothers? Maybe we're picking up some leverage for these interrogations.
