A new tidbit to consider re: Kelley twins and Iraq [View all]

[grasswire]

Apparently, the name Khawam (their maiden name) is an Iraqi name -- the name of a very powerful tribe that controlled all of the commercial interests under Saddam. Here's a blog post that is being posted in many places on the Internet -- I found it first on freerepublic but saw it many other places on google.

SADDAM APPARENTLY HAD A KEY ASSOCIATE NAMED KHAWAM WHO ARRANGED MOST OF THE COMMERCIAL DEALS DURING SADDAM'S REIGN OF TERROR.

IRAQIS dare not utter the sisters' names. But through their marriages, the Al-Khawam women delivered the keys of the vaults of Baghdad for their four businessman brothers.

This wealthy quartet was virtually unknown beyond Iraq and the Middle East until late in October, when a global corruption report revealed their business empire as a vital conduit for huge kickbacks to Saddam Hussein - including $US221.7 million ($300 million) from the Australian Wheat Board.

As Shiites, they came from the wrong side of the track in Saddam's Sunni-dominated regime.

But they won pole position in the rigidly regimented Iraqi economy by signing over half the shares in a string of companies - they would put up all the venture capital, but they delivered half the profits to the regime.

THESE IRAQI KHAWAM WOMEN DELIVERED THE DEALS. IS I9T JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT THE WOMEN AT THE CENTER OF THIS SCANDAL ARE ALSO KHAWAM WOMEN? AND THAT PETRAEU AND ALLEN HAVE BEEN INTIMATELY INVOLVED IN IRAQ?
