Mutt Romney company has links to Iran. |

Company's links to Iran undercut Romney's call for divestment
MERRIMACK, N.H. --
Republican Mitt Romney is urging state pension systems to divest from
Iran, yet the presidential contender's former employer and the company
he started have links to recent Iranian business interests or deals.
Romney joined Boston-based Bain & Co., a management consulting firm,
in 1978 and worked there until 1984.
He was CEO of Bain Capital, a venture capital firm, from 1984 to 1999,
despite a two-year return as Bain & Co.'s chief executive officer from
1991 to 1992.
Bain & Co. Italy, described in company literature as "the Italian
branch of Bain & Co.," received a $2.3 million contract from the
National Iranian Oil Co., in September 2004.
Its task was to develop a master plan so NIOC -- the state oil company
of Iran -- could become one of the world's top oil companies,
according to Iranian and U.S. news accounts of the deal.
Bain Capital, the venture capital firm that Romney started and made
him a multimillionaire, teamed up with the Haier Group, a Chinese
appliance maker that has a factory in Iran, in an unsuccessful 2005
buyout effort.
The target of their $1.28 billion bid -- the Maytag Corp., based in
the lead presidential caucus state of Iowa.

The "Breck Man" should just give up now. No one will vote a Mormon into
office.
Ever see that episode of South Park about Mormons? If you thought they were
joking, you would be wrong.
