Accused Saddam Agent Says He Met With Hillary at White House

Accused Saddam Agent Says He Met With Hillary at White House By IRA STOLL, STAFF REPORTER OF THE SUN | March 27, 2008

A Michigan man facing federal criminal charges of illegally working for Saddam Hussein's Iraqi Intelligence Service says he met with Hillary Clinton at the White House in May 1996.

In a 1997 interview with this reporter, Muthanna Hanooti said that at the meeting, Mrs. Clinton was "very receptive" to his request for an easing of the American sanctions on Iraq that were in place at the time. He said Mrs. Clinton "passed a message to the State Department" about the need to implement the oil-for-food deal, which was intended to allow Saddam to sell billions of dollars' worth of oil to pay for food for Iraqi citizens.

Back in 1997, a spokesman for the first lady referred inquiries about the meeting to the National Security Council. At the time, a spokesman for the National Security Council, Eric Rubin, responded by saying that President Clinton, not the first lady, sets foreign policy.

Asked whether Senator Clinton recalls the meeting or whether the presidential campaign had any further comment on the meeting in light of Mr. Hanooti's indictment, the Clinton presidential campaign yesterday offered no formal response.

She’d probably say she couldn’t have met with him... she was pinned down with sniper fire at the time.

Obama has his own connections to Sadaam. His bag man and real estate scam buddy, Tony Rezko, is funded by a British Iragi billionaire (N. Auchi) with a long history of aiding the former Iraqi regime. Not a word about this close connection or pretty much anything to do with Obama & Rezko in the U.S. media. Kind of like the Rev. Wright story before the videos made the rounds. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/03/who_is_nadhmi_auchi_and_whats.html

Mr. Hanooti’s dealings with politicians reach beyond Mrs. Clinton. Federal Election Commission records show he donated to the campaigns of Mr. Bonior, of President Bush, and of Spencer Abraham, a Republican senator of Michigan who served as Mr. Bush’s energy secretary. He also gave to Rep. Tom Campbell, a Republican of California, and to Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat of Michigan.

Asked yesterday about the donation to Mr. Bush’s presidential campaign, the White House referred The New York Sun to the Republican National Committee, which in turn offered no immediate comment. A Republican familiar with the president’s 2000 campaign said the compliance committee for the campaign had disbanded. Nonetheless, this official, requesting anonymity, said, “We are looking into this.”

Is this Hanooti the same one who was an imam in the 1990s at the Dar al Hijrah mosque in Falls Church that was connected to the 9/11 hijackers and the ft hood shooter and scores of others including aq spokeman in Yemen al Aulaqi?

And Abraham is apparently the only one who got nailed for his dealings.
