Dear Mo1 daughter.....shhhhhhh Mom can't listen and freep....:-)
"What do we know about Samir Vincent."
He was one of two Amercians on the coupon list. (Rich was listed as Swiss). The other one was the fellow who subsidized Scott Ritter's film.
Condi was already asked (right before the announcement was made that this thread is based on) by Norm Coleman (who is heading one Congressional investigation) about the Oil For Food story in general and she said the correct term is indeed "scandal" and that we must get to the bottom of what happened and that people should be held accountable.
She said she hoped the Volker investigation got more cooperation than it has to date and she expounded on the bad acts that took place here.
She did not mention, of course, as it had not been announced, this particular plea deal.
She was very very strong on this.
It's been my contention for a long time that the Clintons benefitted directly and financially from this scandal.
I'm really enjoying this drama. ;-D
Indeed---that has been my assumption since the start.
I remember he was one of the two that have been on "the list" of oil recipients since we first saw the original story.
Him and the Ritter sponser/McDermott donor are the two Americans (Khalfaji or something was the Ritter guy, and then this Vincent who has pleaded guilty).
Vincent has admitted meeting with officials here and reporting to Saddam if I heard Ashcroft correctly.
I've been out and haven't even had a chance to read the original Fox story linked here. Off to see what else I can learn.
Ashcroft wouldn't say where the money went, heh heh heh... Chirac, Putin, and Kofi are probably soiling themselves.
I have a feeling the J.D. is going after BNP-Paribas. If they've misrepresented their oil-for-food financial transactions in their overall financial reports, also given to the SEC, their U.S. banking license could be revoked/suspended, costing them several tens (if not hundreds) of millions in lost revenue, closed branches, etc. It would be a huge embarassment to the French for legitimate business reasons, while allowing the Bush Administration to keep its hands clean politically.
Apply tag line and enjoy
This guy's got so much money it will only take one more RAT administration to get his SECOND presidential pardon.
LOL. Nice tagline. So true. You know W gets a litle schadenfreude when he does these things...
Throw in Cokie Annan himself.
See my post #49.
U.N. Oil-for-Food some of it will be cover-up
He was often in my prayers.
Ashcroft has been greatly abused by the Leftists, and he has done a great job.
Yes, and the UN weenie E** tried to make a lot of noise about that.
Self ping
Someone said they doubted he could do his job because of his adherence to his religious beliefs.
