One of Chuck Hagel's backers is Lebanese businessman Elias Aburdene. He is in turn connected to Mohammed Al-Amoudi and bill Clinton's advisor on African Affairs, Joe Wilson [former US ambassador to Gabon, who thought Niger's uranium was too secure for Iraq to seek it, though Libya had no trouble acquiring it.] Aburdene is chairman of Alamoudi's Rock Creek Corporation, and he hired Joe Wilson. Aburdene set up a PAC for Hagel.

Ritter and Congressional Democrats. Which Congressional Democrats? 2 posted on 10/28/2005 9:36:24 AM PDT by ncountylee | To 1

I have been searching and searching for that thread that you quoted about Hagel, the Sand Creek PAC and Elias Aburdene and it just won’t come up. Do you have a link?

I sure wish that Clarisse Feldman (aka: Fedora) would weigh in on Hagel, she did a lot of research on him and most of her links are now dead.
