How about this bombshell. I hear Kerry plans, if elected, to tax all eBay transactions. Figures to raise over 25 billion.

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.

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.

Good stuff you're finding there. I found a little confirming my suspicion of an LBJ link. Wyatt worked for the JFK-LBJ campaign in 1960. According to an interview with Wyatt recorded in Seymour Hersh's book The Dark Side of Camelot, p. 152, on election night he was telephoned by LBJ crony Clifton Carter who told him, "You've got to get one hundred thousand dollars to Mississippi tonight" in order to make sure JFK and LBJ won Mississippi in case they lost Illinois. However the Daley machine in Illinois carried the vote there before the payments were issued, so Wyatt ended up not having to pay the money, he says.

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.!!!!

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.

Unless it's proven that they gave Saddam a kickback from their profits illegally, I don't understand why their being in the market for oil is a questionable activity.

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.

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?
