New GRAND THEFT ELECTION: Chevron/Condi's Illegal Bribes to Saddam--Is this why he was executed?
Condi worked at Chevron for ten years before she quit to join the Bush administration. During that time, it was her job to make sure that the oil company didn't do things like give illegal bribes to Saddam Hussein in exchange for oil---bribes that he could conceivably use to buy or build illegal weapons. But the DOJ is cutting a sweet deal with Chevron. They will pay a small (for an oil company) fine and admit that they gave money to Saddam in the 1990's (when Condi was supposed to be keeping them from doing such things) but not admit that they were doing anything wrong in paying the bribes. And they get to keep all the oil contracts in Iraq that W. is forcing the Iraqi people to sign away and which he is killing US soldiers and Iraqi civilians to protect. And no one is the MSM is asking what Condi knew about the payoffs to Saddam which happened during her watch at Chevron . No one in the press seems concerned about the peculiar timing of Saddam's execution this Christmas, when the Chevron payoffs to Saddam were known at the Justice Department and were about to be made known to the public and the Democrats were about to take control of Congress, and Sec. of State Rice must have been in a tizzy.

"Oh dear me, W.! What if the Democrats send someone to Iraq to ask Saddam if I knew about the payoffs?"

In illustrated form "W.'s Christmas Gift to Condi or Dead Men Tell no Tales (to Democratic Congressional Committees)"

If the administration would allow pedophiles to prey on children at the Texas Youth Commission in order to avoid embarassing Texas Republican Governor Rick Perry and hurting his re-election chances and if Gonzo's DOJ would protect and payoff a known murderer who was also an informant for the DEA (as was revealed in today's Fort Worth Star Telegram) can anyone doubt that W. would have a tyrant and murderer's execution hurried up in order to protect his second wife?

Some links on the Condi-Chevron-Iraq Bribe story for those who missed it (since the press all but ignored it)

1. "Bag lady."
Like a "bag man", but holding goods for a much larger operation.

Twenty years ago, in Chicago, "bag lady" meant a crazy lady with baggage, uttering urgent nonsense in public.

Condi, honey: this is what they've set you up to be. Tell me there's a point where your common sense and personal dignity overtake your sense of loyalty.

6. makes me wonder if there are legal ways
"to make sure that the oil company didn't do things like give illegal bribes to Saddam Hussein in exchange for oil"




Do not cut off my mike, Saddam pleads with judge

Baghdad: Saddam Hussain yesterday asked a judge trying him for genocide against Iraq's ethnic Kurds in the 1980s not to cut off his microphone when he takes the stand.

Saddam made his plea a day after Chief Judge Mohammad Al Ureybi switched off the toppled leader's microphone and ejected him from the courtroom after he began a speech.

"When the accuser and prosecutor talk, the world listens. When the man called 'the accused' speaks, you switch off the microphone. Is this fair?," an unusually subdued Saddam politely asked the judge

12. The trial of Saddam was a farce. The leader of a nation should be
tried in an international court. This was a Bush ramroad trial, which was designed to get rid of Saddam before he could spill the beans on the USA. We are at the nadir of our history; we deserve no reprieve from the judgement of the world. We have not gone to the streets to rid this country and the world of the most Satanic regime in the history of mankind. We are all culpable. The GOPers went to Florida in 2000; where were we? Gore tried to stand tall; we dems let him down.

15. Speaking of the Pedophile connection it is normal ops for the Bush Clan



The theory is they use this to blackmail important people like legislators and other prominent leaders to go their way in voting controlling the military etc etc.
It is the repugPEDOPHILElican way

17. An individual citizen goes to jail. A corporate "citizen"
flips the cabal a token fine and whistles dixie. Oh, how I love double standards. Standards that forsake the rights of real people in favor of a contrived entity. This is so f@#ked up! :mad:
