I didn't know Condi was French?

She cashed in on Saddam's 'Oil for Food' scandal

So Chevron negotiated a 'settlement' with prosecutors by paying a '$25 million to $30 million' fine for sliding Saddam Hussein kickbacks in the infamous 'Oil for Food' program? And all this was going on while Condi Rice was on the Chevron board and heading up their 'public policy committee'?

Damn and I thought only France and Russia were paying Saddam kickbacks!

Who would have ever thought that our very own Secretary of State would be involved in our nation's "most threatening" enemy's kickback scandal?

Well, come to think of it, Ronald Reagan and Bush Sr. did sell weapons to Iraq, Iran and Osama bin Laden… so, what's a few bucks in kickbacks?

And after all, the lady has to buy shoes...

"According to the Volcker report, surcharges on Iraqi oil exports were introduced in August 2000 by the Iraqi state oil company, the State Oil Marketing Organization. At the time, Condoleezza Rice, now secretary of state, was a member of Chevron’s board and led its public policy committee, which oversaw areas of potential political concerns for the company.

Ms. Rice resigned from Chevron’s board on Jan. 16, 2001, after being named national security advisor by President Bush.

Sean McCormack, a State Department spokesman, referred inquires to Chevron.

According to Chevron’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, the public policy committee met three times in the course of 2000. Chevron declined to comment about the private deliberations of its board."
