He also donated at least $100,000 to Republicans. This is not so black and white as one would wish.

NEWSWEEK: Democrat Donor received
$22 million in "Oil for Food" Scandal

So what do conservative Texans know about this elitist left wing fascist leader of the dark left side?

I don't recall the name myself, but let's find out if someone else knows him.

Excerpt:

Newsweek drops a bombshell on the Kerry Campaign: Texas Oil Baron and Big-Time Democrat Donor Oscar Wyatt has received perhaps as much a $22 million dollars in profits through oil allocations bought illicity from Saddam Hussein.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Texas ping list!. . .don't be shy.
No, you don't HAVE to be a Texan to get on this list!

Wyatt Announced in March 1997 that he would retire and begin lobbying in Washington to lift sanctions against Iraq and Libya.

What ... no lifting of sanctions on Iran??

Oh wait .. wasn't Joe Biden doing that?

[Stellar Dendrite]

"I bet Ted Kennedy's Name is gonna come up, in this... I have a weird feeling..."

Now THAT would be sweet!!!
However, the man got away with murder, as did the Clintons.
Kennedy will be regarded as a hero among the left for taking bribes, just as Rather is a hero among the left for forging documents.

[Stellar Dendrite]

Don't forget Bonior and McDermott, chillin with thier pal Saddam before the war, saying Bush would "mislead America" on enemy soil. Did they get paid off too?

[bvw]

When did the Clinton family make that mid-eastern camel riding trip in relation to the USS Cole incident?

[Mo1]

Why yes .. Joe has been a busy boy with regards to Iran

Biden Buddies Up To Pro-Iran Lobby

"When we learned that Sen. Biden was planning to hold a fund-raiser at the California home of Dr. Sadegh Namazi-khah, we immediately contacted his office to express our dismay," a prominent Iranian-American activist tells Insight. Why dismay? "Dr. Namazi-khah is well-known in the Los Angeles area for his support of the ruling clerical regime in Tehran and is one of the regime's leading unofficial lobbyists in America. We thought that Sen. Biden might not know his background. Getting the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to appear at this event will certainly be seen by the regime in Tehran as a show of support."

On the eve of the fund-raiser, which brought an estimated $30,000 into Biden's re-election coffers, a Biden staffer told the activist that the senator's staff "had all the facts necessary to make a decision," and he was planning to attend the fund-raiser despite the protests.

Several participants who paid to attend the event tell Insight that Biden arrived at 8 p.m., stayed until 11 and delivered a sweeping condemnation of President George W. Bush's "Axis of Evil" formula

Wow, what a find! Do you think Bush/Cheney's campaign people know this? This really stinks, considering how these liberals have been hammering the Bush admin. for ties to Enron; and squalling that they only care about the rich corporations, particularly the big oil companies!

Then there was the big talk about the Bush families ties to Saudi Arabian royals, which is true, and no secret. But now, knowing this, it appears that some other people have their hands in the big ME oil cookie jar!

Of course, we can't expect them to admit it! They'll manage to spin it so that it somehow is Bush's fault as usual>/sarcasm. Still, it is interesting that it would be "Newsweek" that would come out with this; especially since this publication is no real friend/fan of the President!

The Stephano Dimera connection?

LOL! Took me a while :) Jeez, it's been years since I watched any soaps.

[MeekOneGOP]

Thank you. I've added you. :^D

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Grrrrrrrr...

[MaeWest]

but I've already been kicked out of there twice! :)

...and we thank you for your service.

[Lady Jag]

Great news! I'm stunned that Newsweek is reporting it!!

[mathluv]

I haven't read the entire thread, but McDermott has received donations from one of the US names on the Oil for Food list.

[piasa]

They also name "Samir Vincent who headed a Virginia-based firm called Phoenix International." Have we heard of this organization before?

YEs, it came out on the blog "healing Iraq"

[Syncro]

Har...I knew someone would get that one.

:>)

He's still on his quest for world domination although Tony is doing all the heavy lifting now.

[Grampa Dave]

Remember that hit ad on c BS's web site against GW a few months ago?

[DC Bound]

This is the October Surprise for the good guys, folks. Bet on it, and help spread the word in any way you can.

But the NY Times is a Dem paper. Is this Hillary?

[MaeWest]

...bet the MSM cabal tries to paint Wyatt as a R.

Wouldn't put it past them/him to actually be registered as an 'R' for cover and spin.
