If he did that he would also have to do it to ALL online auction companies not just e-bay.
IF he was able to pull it off it would once again make a ripple in the tech sector. Not exactly what we need at this time or ANYTIME.

If the name of a "Big Money" Political Party Donor with ties to Enron were discovered on the Saddam's Coalition of the Bribed, what do you think would happen to the Candidate of that party?
What if that Candidate of that Party was John Kerry?
Newsweek drops a bombshell on the Kerry Campaign: Texas Oil Baron and Big-Time Democrat Donor Oscar Wyatt has received perhaps as much a $22 million dollars in profits through oil allocations bought illicity from Saddam Hussein.
From MSNBC: United Nations: Oil-for-Food Fiasco?"
Law-enforcement sources say Americans who participated in alleged oil-for-food scams also may face further investigation. The CIA deleted from Duelfer's report names of Saddam's U.S. oil-for-food favorites. But an uncensored copy of the Duelfer report obtained by NEWSWEEK indicates Houston oil mogul Oscar Wyatt got oil allocations from Saddam which could have earned him and Coastal Corp.?a company he founded and ran until 2000?profits of more than $22 million. Wyatt and wife Lynn are major donors to political causes: since 1989 they have given nearly $700,000 in contributions, of which more than $500,000 went to Democrats. Wyatt told NEWSWEEK that his company did buy oil from Saddam but that he never did so personally, and that his company's dealings all complied with U.N. rules. ?Mark Hosenball and Steve Tuttle
Who is Oscar Wyatt? More than just a oil man, he's an outspoken critic of both Gulf Wars, and a big time Democratic Party Donor...
As per Houston's Clear Thinkers:
The 10-K also disclosed that one of El Paso's units has been subpoenaed by a grand jury from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to produce records regarding the United Nations' Oil for Food Program governing sales of Iraqi oil. The unit, El Paso CGP Company, was formerly Coastal Corp., which the company acquired in January 2001. The former chairman of Coastal -- Oscar Wyatt -- was an unabashed critic of Operation Desert Storm in the first Persian Gulf War and has been a vocal public critic of El Paso's management over the past several years.
Wyatt appears to have used his ill-gotten gains wisely - buying the leftovers of Enron.
According to New Age Business:
Enron said that the company and the Official Unsecured Creditor's Committee decided the CCE offer was best. Enron previously had said NuCoastal LLC, a company run by Texas billionaire and Coastal Corp. founder Oscar Wyatt Jr. had offered $2.2 billion in May.
So how does this affect Kerry? Well, perhaps we should couch it in terms even the Old Press can understand:
Big Oil, bribed by Saddam Hussein, helped pay for John Kerry's Campaign. Money used to buy Hussein's army's guns helped pay for John Kerry's campaign. Guns used to kill American Soldiers helped pay for John Kerry's campaign...
This may explain why John Kerry thinks the war in Iraq was a mistake. I believe the mistake may be his.
These pricks are going tol steal our country.
If he did that he would also have to do it to ALL online auction companies not just e-bay.

MSM has delegated this to CBS for factchecking. Rather's team to handle.
ABC may doublecheck. Internal policy says help Kerry, fair or not.
Don't see a story in this.
marker bump
Ok, lemme get this str8...
UN=Iraq=France=WorldIslamoCommunists=The DNC=Dan Ratter=MSM=John Kerry ???
PING
There are many Republicans on Oscar Wyatt's list -- Bob Dole and Liddy Dole being two of them. I don't think the focus should be on the end of this money, but on the corrupt origins: Saddam and the U.N.!!!!
Certainly you're joking...
the alternative is socialism
Or civil war.
Whatever, the Americans' involvement is miniscule compared to the French. The MSM will protect the French, ie Kerry. Kerry's house of cards cannot fall.
As for Wilson; he was vague about what he saw from Mitchell. Later he related it was the early suspect documents. IMO his cageyness indicates that he had seen the docs before, via his wife, but didn't want to admit that crime.
wow
John Kerry=Jack ChIraq=Sodom Insane BTTT
HOLY SHI'ITE BAT BOY BURKA BABY!
Doesn't this sound like clintoon without the "charm"?
Thanks for the info on Wilson and Mitchell.
Oh don't worry, he PROMISED not to tax anyone who make less than $200,000. (Snicker, snicker, snort, snort)
A very important distinction here is that Oscar Wyatt was sending Saddam kickbacks so he could:
1) get more oil contracts from Saddam
2) Saddam could use that kickback money to buy weapons to kill GIs
To my knowledge, the 4 Oil Companies in question were not accused of kicking back $$$ to Saddam
OFF was set up and run by the UN, so of course US oil companies would be involved.
The question is: did they kick back money to Saddam.
As for the 3 individuals in question:
Wyatt Announced in March 1997 that he would retire and begin lobbying in Washington to lift sanctions against Iraq and Libya.
Samir Vincent is an anti-war activist
Mr. Khafaji financed a controversial film about Iraq by Scott Ritter, the former United Nations arms inspector who opposed the American-led invasion of Iraq.
The 3 individual in question were Saddam tools.
Oy Vey Oscar...
A Texas Jew taking the money of a known Jew-hanger.
How sweet.
I heard, but did not see for myself that Andrea Mitchell made a comment to Chris Matthews tonight, that news is going to come out this week that says somehow this is bad news for republicans. I guess inferring that money was given to republicans, not democrats. Did anyone see that tonight?
I believe Soros was gettin' his in Bosnia/Serbia. But I can't imagine him totally left out of this one.
