So why not publish the list of American and DU traitors!!

Lead story on NBC news tonight. Pigs Fly! I guess Cheney knew it was in the pipeline, and underplayed the hand at the debate. Libs have to read this....it's in their Holy Book (WP).

Yes . . . Saddam understood the "global test".


He bought off those same "foreign leaders" to whom Kerry would defer.

I have stated on FR before that I believed the arrest of Chalabi and the search of his house, etc., was tied up with this, and that the US was prepared to bury the entire thing.

It remains to be seen how complete the list appears to be compared to earlier reports, which had some high-ranking european and UN people involved, but I am willing to admit that it appears I was at the least partially wrong, if not more. At the same time, I cannot help but suspect that there is a white-wash of some of the biggest fish who still hold office somewhere.

Quite a different story from what the MSM has been putting out.

[Tacis]

This is the whole key to the anti-Bush "no reason to invde Iraq" blather of the slimey, corrupt, crapweasel, scumbag dems! They aren't attacking Bush (although many of the lower level scum don't know that), they are protecting Willie!

In the mid and late 90s, Saddam was diddling the whole world and had the UN, France, Germany and other old world socialists to protect him. There was enough administrative barbra streisand to fend off military action for years>

Willie saw an opportunty to pick up some cash. Willie or his henchmen met with Saddam or his henchmen and OBL and his folks to work out the details. Saddam would give cash/oil vouchers to Willie or his surrogates (see:Marc Rich) and in return, get info from OBL so we'd just miss killing him.

That's what the "no connection" was really about. Now, it fits "Viet Cong" John's objectives and, as long as the scumbags hold that line, Willie will do nothing to sink Kerry. Note also, that this filth and corruption is certainly related to the reason that Vince Foster was murdered.

ABOUT TIME AND FRONT PAGE TOO, maybe Washpost is looking for redemption

The number of countries and companies involved in the schemes to undermine or challenge U.N. sanctions increased dramatically from the time the Oil For Food program was introduced until Hussein's removal from power last year, the report added.

Speaks for itself...

Companies or individuals from at least 44 countries received vouchers, the report said.

Russia, France and China -- all permanent members of the U.N. Security Council -- were the top three countries in which individuals, companies or entities received the lucrative vouchers. Hussein's goal, the report said, was to provide financial incentives so that these nations would use their influence to help undermine the punishing sanctions imposed after Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait.

"At a minimum, Saddam wanted to divide the five permanent members and foment international public support of Iraq at the U.N.(Well, it worked! Duh!) and throughout the world by a savvy public relations campaign and an extensive diplomatic effort," the report said.

Several American companies on the list, compiled from 13 documents kept by Hussein's vice president and oil minister, were given vouchers to purchase billions of dollars of oil at discounted prices. The U.S. companies are not named in the report because of privacy laws, U.S. officials said.

DO YOU HEAR THIS JOHN KERRY AND JOHN EDWARDS?! YOUR "FRIENDS" *CREWED THE U. S. IN A TIME OF WAR, just like you two did!!!

I wonder how many U. S. politicians are on the list?

SPREAD THE WORD....

THE ONLY VOUCHERS LIBERALS BELIEVE IN ARE OIL VOUCHERS!
