My #1 problem with Hillary as SOS...Bill's business dealings.

Yes I know that it is Bill's associations, and not Hillary's, but they both benefit from the money.

I just don't see how this could not be a conflict of interest to someone in the SOS position.

The extent of Bill's dealings with Dubai, etc. needs to be divulged before Hillary can be seriously considered for SOS, imo.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned. It's a busy day on the board and a busy day at work as well, so I haven't been able to catch up.

So I'm sure that they would request what was necessary.

After Mining Deal, Financier Donated to Clinton


http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/31/us/politics/31donor.html?pagewanted=print


Late on Sept. 6, 2005, a private plane carrying the Canadian mining financier Frank Giustra touched down in Almaty, a ruggedly picturesque city in southeast Kazakhstan. Several hundred miles to the west a fortune awaited: highly coveted deposits of uranium that could fuel nuclear reactors around the world. And Mr. Giustra was in hot pursuit of an exclusive deal to tap them.

Unlike more established competitors, Mr. Giustra was a newcomer to uranium mining in Kazakhstan, a former Soviet republic. But what his fledgling company lacked in experience, it made up for in connections. Accompanying Mr. Giustra on his luxuriously appointed MD-87 jet that day was a former president of the United States, Bill Clinton.

Upon landing on the first stop of a three-country philanthropic tour, the two men were whisked off to share a sumptuous midnight banquet with Kazakhstan’s president, Nursultan A. Nazarbayev, whose 19-year stranglehold on the country has all but quashed political dissent.

Mr. Nazarbayev walked away from the table with a propaganda coup, after Mr. Clinton expressed enthusiastic support for the Kazakh leader’s bid to head an international organization that monitors elections and supports democracy. Mr. Clinton’s public declaration undercut both American foreign policy and sharp criticism of Kazakhstan’s poor human rights record by, among others, Mr. Clinton’s wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

Within two days, corporate records show that Mr. Giustra also came up a winner when his company signed preliminary agreements giving it the right to buy into three uranium projects controlled by Kazakhstan’s state-owned uranium agency, Kazatomprom.

That's exactly who I had in mind.

They're sketchy, I tell you. Hmm.

Rumor has it the Clintons would not submit to Obama's vetting process for VP consideration. There is no reason to believe they will now.

without vetting?

Seems to be happening again.

post after panicky post smearing Clinton.

Get some fucking help for your obsessive Clinton Hatred.

Either that or go back to obsessing over Palin's uterus and her "fake" pregnancy.

I second that emotion and wish I could recommend your post!

:thumbsup:

or are you prepping for another hair-pulling flesh-rending tantrum?

I love fairy tales.

:eyes:

QUIT WITH TEH PRIMARY REHASHING.

Some of you are pathological.

Go ahead -- I know you have to have the last word in any exchange.

the last word is yours.

I'm switching over to the fairy tale where the Clintons don't play politics.

So...is Trig Palin really Sarah's grandson? Isn't that what you were pushing 2 months ago?

:crazy:

Clinton as SoS sure has knocked Sarah Palin threads off my screen.
