Is there a possibility Bush has connections to the "Oil for Food" scandal?

[Roxy66]

Just wondering since he has so many connections within the Oil industry.

1. Let's add 2 + 2 and see what we get....

The Kuwaitis were rewarded 25% of oil revenue profits as reparations for Iraq invading them. That's a lot of moolah ! Much more than the piddly amounts talked about in the "il-for-food" scandal. Since the Bush family is very tight with the Kuwaitis since Poppy rescued them, they no doubt are very "friendly" to Jr. also. Did they pay him in money? Or did they do other favors? It's conceivable. That's what the press should be investigating, in my opinion.

2. Wouldn't doubt it

Why else were they screaming about it? Makes sense to me. Wasn't there another thread where someone had an article stating one of the major players had ties to Bush and was from (guess where) Texas?

3. I thought I heard there were several Texas oil men involved....

It seems to me to be a no-brainer to investigate any Bushie connections.:think:

4. I can get him close through Ken Lay.

No American based Corporations mentioned in the CorpoMedia attack on Kofi Annan and the UN Oil for Food Program

"The names on the politically explosive list are French, Russian, Chinese, Canadian and Japanese; if Duelfer had had his way, U.S. companies and individuals would have been included, too. But he was overruled by CIA lawyers. The report instead lists some voucher recipients only as "U.S. person" and "U.S. company."

Of course, the government controlled US Media overlooks the involvement of US Corporations.

http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=11569


"The U.S. companies -- including Exxon Mobil Corp., ChevronTexaco Corp. and El Paso Corp. or their predecessors -- and individuals were identified in the Central Intelligence Agency's 1,000-page report on the Hussein regime's campaign, though their names were redacted from the publicly released version."

You may remember El Paso Corp. as the Enron front company that Kenny Boy Lay used to manipulate the Power Market in California to steal $BILLIONS.

Of course, bush* and Cheney have contacts in the other US Corporations mentioned in the Duelfer report (Major US Oil Co.s) and wouild use their influence to hide their participation in the Corporate Scandals at the UN.

You can bet that if the investigation into Oil for Food is being obstructed, you will find bush* friends and Republicans doing the obstructing, but I have been unable to document the source of the Govermantal Order to redact the names of the US Corporations.

One of the outrages is the way this is being framed as corruption at the UN. The REAL SCANDAL is about the Transnational Corporations who were throwing around huge bribes at the UN. If the US really wants to end this type of corruption, they would tighten up the regulations governing International banking and outlaw secret offshore corporate bank accounts!

End the bribe money, End the corruption.

5. If he did, would the Republicans and the RW Media be squealing about the

"evil UN" all this time? Wouldn't they have tried to hide it?

6. They may have unwittingly woven their own rope...

In their zeal for UN-bashing, maybe they didn't do their homework first and have called attention to what could be an even bigger scandal.

In any case, I'm gonna pull up a chair and watch the inevitable train wreck.

7. if you notice the Bush admin itself hasn't been talking a lot about it

it's mostly fox "news" and some wingnut house and senate members.
