Operation Iraqi Freedom Documents
Posted on 01/02/2007 11:29:15 AM PST by jveritas
Document CMPC-2004-003015 (pages 90-91-92) contain a letter dated May 1993 from Hussein Kamel Hassan the former head of the Iraqi Military Industrial Committee to Saddam Hussein regarding lifting the oil export embargo on Iraq. Kamel Hassan mentioned the name of “Samir Vincent” and Iraqi ex-pat living in the US and who according to the letter has good relation with the Iraqi regime for a long time and that Samir Vincent is helping the Iraqis to have the oil export embargo lifted through his contacts with the US State Department and the U.N. Also in the letter was mentioned the name of “Boutrous Boutrous Ghali” the United Nations secretary general back then and according to the same letter Ghali “expressed his initial welcoming of the oil export embargo lift in addition to the expected financial profit for him personally”.
Samir Vincent pleaded guilty in 2005 for lobbying on behalf of the Iraqi government and make illegal deals to help lift the oil export embargo on Iraq and what is known now as the “Oil for Food Scandal”. Boutorus Boutrous Ghali was not found yet to be involved in the Oil for Food scandal.
PS: Hussein Kamel Hassan who is more known as Hussein Kamel was the son in law of Saddam Hussein and he fled to Jordan in 1995, but later on Saddam tricked him to come back to Iraq telling him that he is pardoned, once he got into Iraq Saddam ordered him killed, and he was killed.

In the name of God the Most Merciful
The Republic of Iraq
The Presidency of the Republic
The Military Industrialization Commission
Mr. President the Leader-God protect and shepherd you
Subject: Oil export
The relative calm in the political relation with the Western World and in particular with the United States (and after the cease fore from our side), has helped to create positive atmosphere for the optimism of our people to partially lift the unjust economic embargo and the possibility of oil export and what will lead to reduce the great suffering of our people to obtain food and medicine.
…In this regard it was welcomed by the friends and honest people in all over the world, and in the hope that it will give the new American Administration an opportunity to review the Iraqi Dossier and to look at it objectively and justly, and on the other hand the hate filled dishonest enemies are attempting furiously to encircle any possibilities for positive reflection to ease the economic embargo and in particular with the neighboring states.
We see that the relative calm is turning to recession that can afford for the hostile elements the opportunity to market its plans on the international level for the continuity of the Iraqi people suffering and the increasing harm caused by the embargo hoping to achieve their malicious and known goals-God Forbid- without any initiatives to abort these plans… Therefore there must be a movement of the political relation and in particular with the American side and the United Nations through partially flexible positions to remove the embargo through two routes, the first route is to implement article (22) of resolution (687) and which collide with the obstacle of accepting of resolution (715) and its unjust rules and the obstacle of proving the name of foreign firms, and the second route is the implementation of resolution (706) which collides with principles obstacles that undermine the sovereignty.
The route of resolution 706.
The Iraqi ex-pat (Samir Vincent) and that connect us with him long and good relationships, has been trying hard for almost a year to find a way to export oil according to this resolution through his contacts with the US State Department and the Secretary General of the United Nations and taking in consideration our justified concern with its unjust rules and implementation… and there were a lot of meetings with Mr. Tarek Aziz the last one was on 18/4/1993.
Lately Mr. Samir Vincent and through a capable legal consultation has shown the a proposal by the Iraqi side to be shown to the Security Council by the Secretary General of the United Nations, that will avoid Iraq in a good proportion the unjust conditions and with some flexibility to achieve the approval of the Security Council on it, and therefore he suggests with insistence that Mr. Tarek Aziz goes to New York to meet Mr. Boutrous Ghali (who expressed his initial welcoming with the proposal in addition to the financial benefit for him personally) and before the end of this month of May, and that he will be authorized from the leadership to finalize this subject with a closed meeting between both of them.
… and you long live Mr. Leader.
General Hussein Kamel Hassan
5/1993

Operation Iraqi Freedom Documents
The interview with Ali G was great...
"I'm here with my main-man Boutros, Boutros, Boutros, Boutros-Ghali.."
:O)
Also Claudia Rosett.
Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the post and ping, JV and eyespy.
It seems like a worthy find to be brought to the attention of the media.
Media emails-the formula: if they hear from 40 to 45 people on a story, they will cover it.
CAUTION: do not mass email - they won’t look at it – email singly

Thanks for this revelation and the continuing efforts at fanning the flames of the steaming pile we call the UN and the Oil-for-Food scandal so the MSM can examine it for themselves and hopefully finally report the depth and details of the corruption that seems to have been its main mission.
It was Eric Shawn. He was all over the UN scandal.
Thank you Joseph. Your work is outstanding. Have a healthy and happy 2007.
Thanks. Happy New Year :)
Thanks. I emailed some of them, but not all. I may finish the list from home.
Great catch.
BTW, a Lebanese-American friend told me that "Boutros Boutros Ghali" means "Peter Peter Expensive" in Arabic.
Is that correct? LOL.
That is exactly correct… LOL :) Ghali is “expensive” or “precious” depending how it used in a sentence.
You are a national treasure, JV. Thanks for the PING Eyespy
Do you have any address near-at-hand for paper letters?
In the day of email, paper may get their notice....
TIA :-)
Thanks pissant; just doing my little duty.
Happy New Year Sono.
Above and beyond....and here anyway, greatly appreciated.
Thank you! :-)
Thank you for your work on finding the hidden truths.
Thank you for your pings.
Thanks for the translation.
The UN has been dirty for decades.
I asked what she thought of OIF. She had never heard of it.
Have a good new year!
Happy New Year JVeritas! Glad to see you again!
Happy New Year CW :)
Happy New Year Eagle. When foxnews is the basically the only major news outlet that covered the Oil for Food scandal, the majority of people will not know about it. We do not expect the liberal media to show how corrupt is their favorite world institution that is called the United Nations.
The U.N will always remain corrupted and will get more corrupted with time.
You do the heavy lifting and we get the glory. No, seriously (or should I say seriesly here on FR), you continue to do astounding, unimpeachable work that elucidates why saddam (and the un) was not only 'a' threat but the foremost threat facing the American homeland after 9-11.
JV, you rock!
Thanks for all the great work....JJ61
Glad to see you're back in business J! Great job as always.
