Wolfowitz girlfriend planned the Iraqi government
by leevank

As if the tangled web of Paul Wolfowitz and his girlfriend, Shaha Riza, weren't already sordid enough, now comes word that while he was Deputy Secretary of Defense, the Pentagon ordered Science Applications International Corp., a Pentagon contractor, to enter into a subcontract with Ms. Riza under which she spent approximately a month in the spring of 2003 "studying ways to form a government in Iraq."

Here's the way Reuters describes the arrangement:

the electricity and water?

You HAVE to be kidding me. That's not an Onion piece?

Or was it similar to the way some big shot Hollywood producers give their girlfriends a screen credit by making them an Associate Producer for a film they never even worked on?

Ok

Ok




That was her twin...

LMAO! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I love this place.

:evilgrin: :toast:

However, it seems that is not the case.

The only person I can think of who is more unlikely to have a girlfriend is Cho Seung-hui.

That's your tax dollars at work. Helping get senior Bush officials laid. Oh, and she was hired to work on Iraq reconstruction. Nice. And you wonder why things are such a mess in Iraq. They spent our money on their lovers.

And we pick up the tab in bodies and $. Fricking unbelieveable. W's legacy.

it's not April Fool's Day, but you're absolutely sure this story isn't from the Onion?

long.

I suppose it was her idea to disband the standing police and military force...

If this is true she should be prosecuted with the rest of the criminals at the Hague...

Liz Cheney... and now CONdi

Victoria Toensing failed to disclose friendship with "No Disclosure" Novak in Wash. Post op-ed

http://mediamatters.org/items/200501140005

In a January 12 Washington Post op-ed, titled "The Plame Game: Was This a Crime?" Republican attorney Victoria Toensing and co-author Bruce W. Sanford defended nationally syndicated columnist Robert D. Novak and the anonymous government sources he used in a July 2003 column in which he exposed the identity of undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame. Multiple news outlets have noted that Toensing is apparently a personal friend of Novak -- a fact that neither she nor the Post saw fit to disclose.

President Kucinich - video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9REGbr0nfI

To fund war is to perpetuate war.

To defund war is to end war.

Hillary voted for war. Edwards voted for war. Obama is in the above video stating he will NOT cut funding to this insane, unlawful war. It's amazing how these WarFunders promote themselves as anti-war candidates while funding and perpetuating this Godawful war. Even more amazing:

People believe them!!!! Too many people believe they are "peace activists," and "anti-war." This is TRULY, TRULY deceitful, unAmerican, unpresidential conduct on their parts.

Folks need to take a look at American history:
Since the inception of the War Powers Act, the ONLY WAY our troops have EVER come home was when Congress cut funding to those military actions - each time AGAINST the sitting President's will!!!

My point is, Democrats (or Republicans) will NOT, NOT, NOT be passing any bill ending this war. Why? How? Because it takes ONLY 41 Senators to BLOCK/FILIBUSTER any bill from coming to the floor of the Senate. That's why the ONLY WAY our troops have ever come home was when Congress cut funds.

Take a look:

btw, later this month, Kucinich will debate the WarFunders - then his numbers will rise.

The Kuch

D K is by far the least likely candidate to screw us over after being elected.

Respectfully, I ask, "Why did Kucinich trip over himself to shake B*sh's hand?" Of ALL people, I never expected that from him. Seriously.

Kucinich told Bush he should talk to him about this war.


I should know.



The Kuch

Makes perfect sense to me.:hi:

HEIR PRES NEEDS TO BE NEUTERED..BUT HE IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT HIS CAST...

THE DIM WITTED ONE CAN DO NOTHING..,WITHOUT CHENEY AND ROVE AND GONZO...

i see whats going on..the dems will keep the dim wit in place..but the overall american people's perception is they hate Cheney..so they won't care that Cheney is removed..the American people won't care if Rove is removed..the American people won't care if Gonzo is removed..

but after what was done to Clinton..the American people won't like * impeached..

it was the rethug plan all along..impeach Clinton over bogus charges....the american people react..negative to what rethugs did..

so now when we need to impeach the commander in chimp..there is no stomach for it..

so impeach the cast...take away the chimps security net..strip him of any protections he has had around him..leave him out there alone..he will crack..

he might really just crack up..he is so close now!!

go get them Kuch...

get Cheney , Rove, and Gonzo..be merciless!!

Get Sibel Edmonds in a hearing..just do it!!

I appreciate all you are doing!

themselves, would be not present a bill period? Right now there is a stalemate between Shrub and the Congress. Shrub will veto (laying the onus on him) and the Senate and Congress could just do nothing at that point. Ergo no more funding. Isn't it true that there is enough money in the military budget right now to bring the troops home safely?

I was against the war and knew it was created on lies, well before it was started. It astonishes me that so many members of the Senate and Congress didn't know. I can't believe that. Many on both sides of the aisle have the same corporate interests donating to their campaign chests. It is in their interest to keep the Industrial Military Complex alive and well.

We have to end the madness now. We mourn the lives of the people killed at VT and yet how many 100,000s of thousands of innocent Iraqis have died from our lies. How many fine young members of our military were killed for these lies. When Shrub sent them to war, it was premeditated murder, and he must be Impeached Now. Afterwards, thrown in prison, keys thrown away.

Peace to you and once again, welcome. :)
Ommm

you're right Ommm......the military-industrial complex is alive and well, in the form of Dick Cheney and KBR. Re: troops withdrawal: Congress maintains funds to bring our troops home in case of emergency. I'm sorry, you've been lied to.



The Kuch

The Kuch for your reply and being sorry that I've been lied to. The thing is, that this government has been lying to We The People for more than the 55 years I've been on this planet. I grew up hearing about the McCarthy witch hunts, lived through the lies of Kennedy's assassination, the lies of the Vietnam War, Watergate, the CIA toppling other govts, and so forth and so on. I do though live with hope, that maybe in my sons' lifetime, the lies will stop and we can become a country that has truly evolved.

Wishing you a beautiful weekend!
Ommm

a position created to get her on the payroll and keep her close-by

judging from the fact that she followed him elsewhere....

or she isn't what she seems...and keeping near and dear has other implications

From 2005:

Will a British divorcee cost 'Wolfie' his job?
From SHARON CHURCHER and ANNETTE WITHERIDGE, Mail on Sunday -Last updated at 18:05pm on 20th March 2005

Nomination: Paul Wolfowitz was a controversial choice for the World Bank
The appointment of George Bush's leading hawk as head of the World Bank was heading for a crisis over his relationship with a senior British employee.

Influential members of staff at the international organisation have complained to its board that Paul Wolfowitz, a married father of three, is so besotted with Oxford-educated Shaha Riza he cannot be impartial.

Extraordinarily, they claim she played a key role in pushing the 61-year-old Pentagon official into the Iraq War. And the row comes amid claims that Wolfowitz's wife Clare once warned George Bush of the threat to national security any infidelity by her husband could cause.

Sex scandal?

National security risk

Wolfowitz married Clare Selgin in 1968. But they have lived separately since 2001, after allegations of an affair with an employee at the School of Advanced International Studies where he was dean for seven years.

According to one Republican Administration insider, Clare was so upset by rumours about the affair that she wrote to then President Elect Bush, saying if the story were true it could pose a national security risk.

Yesterday, she refused to comment on whether her husband had been unfaithful before their separation, saying: "I really do not want to share this with you."

She also refused to confirm her marital status - reports of his appointment repeatedly describe Wolfowitz as divorced but The Mail on Sunday has been unable to find any records. Asked if she is separated or divorced, Clare replied: "That's my business."

On the claim that she wrote a letter to Bush, she said: "That's very interesting but not something I can tell you about."

A friend of Wolfowitz insisted last night that he had not been unfaithful: "Paul and Clare have been separated since 2001. It is my understanding they are now legally separated."

Excerpts from the Daily Mail article:

...Ms Riza grew up in Saudi Arabia and was passionately committed to democratising the Middle East when she allegedly began to date Wolfowitz....

...After they moved to America, Shaha worked for the Iraq Foundation, set up by expatriates to overthrow Saddam Hussein after the first Gulf War. She subsequently joined the National Endowment for Democracy, created by President Ronald Reagan to promote American ideals.

Bulent Riza said Shaha started to "talk to Paul" about reforming the Middle East. And New Yorker magazine's respected commentator Paul Boyer observed that a senior World Bank official "named Shaha Ali Riza" was an "influence"...

Also, her (ex?)husband, Bulent Ali Riza, is "involved" in the area- including the Caspian oil pipeline.

I don't think this relationship happened by chance...

to call that man boyfriend, let alone sleep with him.

:puke:

Eeeeeeew! Yuk. :P

:hi:

Something along the lines of "Wolfowitz' girlfriend is apparently an expert on the Middle East, proving once again that opposites DO attract."

Let's just state the obvious: the American government, like so many of its people and press corps, was sold a bill of goods.

This is theft by deception. And just another glaring example of incompetence in the highest levels of government.

I want SAIC to refund the one month salary for the planning. And then we can call it even.

Must have been sweet the first time, and good enough at the Pentagon, Good enough at the World Bank.
