GEORGE Galloway stood to profit in a bent oil-for-food deal meant to help Iraqi CHILDREN, a bombshell report said yesterday. The sacked Labour MPs name was among hundreds of firms and individuals who received vouchers for services to Saddam Husseins evil regime.
Galloway who stood to gain £5million is named at least five times as a potential profiteer by the US Senate report.
The money was to be siphoned off in a deal designed to help kids who were sick and starving. Revelations are made in a report by chief US weapons inspector in Iraq, Charles Duelfer.
His Iraq Survey Group document says: Under the UN Oil for Food Programme, Iraq used a clandestine oil allocation voucher programme that involved granting oil certificates to certain individuals and organisations to compensate them for their services in undermining the resolve of the international community.
Recipients, especially not those in the petroleum business, could sell or trade the allocations at a discount to international oil buyers or companies at a 10-35cent per barrel profit.
On page 179 of the report, Galloway is named and said to have received vouchers for 3.46million barrels of Iraqi oil worth 65 cents a barrel.
On page 182 he is said to have received vouchers for 1.014million barrels worth 85 cents each.

So is Chirac's name on the list or was it redacted for diplomatic reasons?
I find it a bit odd that everyone named, that I've seen so far, are no longer in office.
Ping.

George is coming to visit I guess...Hide the silverware!
I also find it out that there are no American names on the list.
out=odd
-MP George Galloway- voice cries "peace," hand in Saddam's till...--
Sure would like to know who is on the list from US.
Appears to be the same coalition that benefited from Saddam and his oil are one and the same that support the insurgents that flow into Iraq today.
This is pretty serious, I belive.
Much like the Hillary 2000 cash for pardons scam, this will go nowhere. Not that it should not, but there are different laws for different folk. This information was public six months ago and nothing was done then. With each passing day the wheels of justice lose momentum. It's how the system works for the wealthy and powerful.

Thanks! Sounds to me like the only people being mentioned were those already outed. I want to know who else was involved.
I'd like to know what John Kerry knew about Oil For food and when he knew it.
So true....!
Me too. And if there are any Republican names (God Forbid), hang them high.
I also belive it is series.
