Looks like somebody’s Secretary of State might need to be on a Terrorist Watch List for providing material aid to terrorist organizations . . .

Seems our esteemed Shoe Shopping Shuttle Diplomatist Condoleezza Rice was involved in "the biggest scandal in human history" - at least, according to the New York Times, and Fred Barnes (of Fox News and The Weekly Standard)

Condi sat on the board of directors of Chevron Corp. while they were paying illegal kickbacks to Saddam Hussein’s regime to purchase Iraqi oil from unscrupulous, shady dealers as part of the Oil-for-Food program.

The Iraqis started demanding the kickbacks in the summer of 2000. And at the time, Condi, had she been performing her fiduciary duty to Chevron’s shareholders, would had to have known about the dealings. See, she was head of Chevron’s public policy committee, which, according to the Times, "oversaw areas of potential political concerns for the company." The committee held three meetings in 2000, according to SEC filings...

Story re: USAID funding Hamas. * is probably paying for the Mickey Mouse shill.

She showed that during the Katrina crisis.

She didn't have the oil tanker "Condoleeza Rice" named for her for nothing.

You won't have to dig too deep to discover that Dick "Dr. Evil" Cheney's company Halliburton was also doing business with Saddam during the sanctions period.

But facts and logic are meaningless against BushCo: They're faith-based!

add it to Halliburton doing business in Iran (and Iraq!), A.Q. Khan, Niger forgeries, the Plame scandal, and perhaps the camel's back gives way, as it must. And soon.

:rofl:

Chevron to acknowledge aiding Saddam.

“Chevron, the second-largest American oil company, is preparing to acknowledge that it should have known kickbacks were being paid to Saddam Hussein on oil it bought from Iraq as part of a defunct United Nations program, according to investigators. … At the time, Condoleezza Rice, now secretary of state, was a member of Chevron’s board and led its public policy committee, which oversaw areas of potential political concerns for the company. Ms. Rice resigned from Chevron’s board on Jan. 16, 2001, after being named national security advisor by President Bush.”

THE OIL FOR FOOD SCANDAL!@!@!@@@!#$

It's almost a forgotten chapter of blog wingnuttia, that oil for food scandal which was going to take down every politician in the world that the wingnuts didn't like, or something. It was never quite clear. Anyway, maybe it'll get one after all.


Chevron, the second-largest American oil company, is preparing to acknowledge that it should have known kickbacks were being paid to Saddam Hussein on oil it bought from Iraq as part of a defunct United Nations program, according to investigators.

The admission is part of a settlement being negotiated with United States prosecutors and includes fines totaling $25 million to $30 million, according to the investigators, who declined to be identified because the settlement was not yet public.

...

According to the Volcker report, surcharges on Iraqi oil exports were introduced in August 2000 by the Iraqi state oil company, the State Oil Marketing Organization. At the time, Condoleezza Rice, now secretary of state, was a member of Chevron’s board and led its public policy committee, which oversaw areas of potential political concerns for the company.

Ms. Rice resigned from Chevron’s board on Jan. 16, 2001, after being named national security advisor by President Bush.

This particular ass is not of interest to them....

A La 'A Cinderella Story' - the wicked stepmother says "You're not very pretty, and you're not very smart".

The wicked stepmother is the $$$$$$$ powers that be.

and for the most part, neither are the people who run them.

Condi fits right in...corrupt to the core.

that gave him money. But I hear that his lawyer is writing a book. Wonder is the Bush family will have the lawyer kidnapped and sent to Ethiopia.

something of stay the course, so to speak:argh:

uncle dickie wanted the sanctions dropped during the 90`s. hmmmmm what company did he work for in the 90`s?

and how after the installation of the Decider Elizabeth Cheney became a major player in the State Department, the eyes and ears of her daddy as well as helping out some of her old "social network" friends people as diverse as former law school pal Kyle Sampson to Wolfowitz's "partner" Shaha Ali Riza.

Then there is her marriage to Mr. Philip J. Perry, who was slated to become DHS general counsel, and mommy's former position as a lobbyist for Lockheed, whereas Mr. Perry is a lobbyist for Lockheed!

of Stanford Research Institute. She is a lot of things, including a criminal.

Has she still not appeared before Congress? Is she still snubbing the subpeona? What has happened with all of that? Why has it suddenly dissappeared? This bitch should be dragged in to answer questions today! She's probably getting plenty of "I don't recall" coaching from Speedy.
