That's SWEET! You're quite the digger I see!
Man, I walk away for a few hours, and between you and the others, there's nothing left to dig!
But I'm still digging anyway. If nothing else, this will DESTROY any arguments they try to make against President Bush...
Can't help but notice that Libya and Iraq are common themes in just about anything revolving around the top dogs in DNC politics these days. There's this little hint about it here : Wyatt is renowned in the Texas oil industry for starting Coastal with an $800 loan in 1950 and forging deals with former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and Libya's Muammar Qaddafi. In 2001 he sold Coastal to El Paso Corp. for $24 billion. ---- http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000103&refer=us&sid=aN6AaZHFcBAI as retrieved on May 25, 2004 03:35:42 GMT.
Thanks; though I'm sure there's lots of digging left to do yet, LOL! There's a whole history of Democrat oil scandals which largely goes undiscussed in the midst of the left's single-minded obsession with the notion that the oil business is a Republican monopoly. I've yet to put together the pieces myself, but I believe researching these figures would be a step towards putting the big picture together:
Armand Hammer (who was, not coincidentally, a central conduit for Soviet money to the US Communist Party)
Averell Harriman
Harold Ickes (father and son)
Lyndon Johnson
J. William Fulbright
Clark Clifford
Lloyd Bentsen
Al Gore
Mary Landrieu
And of course the present subject, Oscar Wyatt
Among others, undoubtedly.
