Object: No Blood for Oil!
Oscar Wyatt, a Texas oilman, is charged with Iraq war profiteering, Reuters
reports. But it isn't what you think:
Prosecutors promised on Monday to prove that ... Wyatt paid
millions of dollars in kickbacks to Saddam Hussein's government,
earning him a privileged position in Iraq. . . .
Defense lawyer Gerald Shargel argued the federal case against
Wyatt was "entwined" with his opposition to both U.S.-led wars
against Iraq. . . .
Shargel will set out to prove Wyatt was a patriotic American
whose advice was sought by nearly every U.S. president from
John F. Kennedy to Bill Clinton, but not the Bushes.
Wyatt, a Democrat, was a "friend and confidant" of Republican
presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, but "he was no
friend or admirer of the other two presidents," George H.W.
Bush and his son George W. Bush, Shargel said.
"Mr. Wyatt pleaded with the advisers of George H.W. Bush not
to go to war and to resolve this peacefully," Shargel said.
"There were (peace) talks and negotiations under way that
Oscar Wyatt was involved in."
Thank goodness President Bush put the interests of America above those of
Texas oilmen.
