Mccain Team's Efforts to Help Saddam Hussain?!


    Wow, that is all I can say. Wow. Who runs around with questionable characters again....LOL! HERE IS THE STORY...
William Timmons, the Washington lobbyist who John McCain has named
to head his presidential transition team, aided an influence effort on
behalf of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to ease international sanctions
against his regime
.

The two lobbyists who Timmons worked closely with over a five year
period on the lobbying campaign later either pleaded guilty to or were
convicted of federal criminal charges that they had acted as
unregistered agents of Saddam Hussein's government
.

During the same period beginning in 1992, Timmons worked closely
with the two lobbyists, Samir Vincent and Tongsun Park, on a previously
unreported prospective deal with the Iraqis in which they hoped to be
awarded a contract to purchase and resell Iraqi oil. Timmons, Vincent,
and Park stood to share at least $45 million if the business deal went
through....

McCain and Palin are a horror story. Really scary to think of them in office.

McCain's hands are dirty! dirty! dirty! But he knows Obama won't call him out on his mud slinging.
