United States
Samir Vincent: 7 million
Shakir Alkhalaji: 10.5 million

A little research is in order here! Any political contributions by either of these fellows?

See post #9 and #10 for the research on those two.

The GOP may be blindsided on this one! A Google search found links from Samir to the first Bush admin. See this link for a ready-made "connect the dots" picture:

Furthermore, this ABC NEWS link has the list of donors and is dated January 29,2004! I thought this was supposed to be a scoop.

Better yet, see this Free Republic post in March:

An excellent question...where did Vicent and Alkhalaji funnel their money? My bet is that someone in DC got a portion of it. I would hope its not a individual in GW's group.
