A member of Jordan’s royal family is accusing an American oilman and former GOP fundraiser of bribing the Jordanian government to facilitate his fuel shipments through the country to U.S. forces in Iraq.
The allegation emerged in a civil lawsuit pitting the billionaire American businessman, Harry Sargeant III, against an ex-business partner, Mohammad al-Saleh, the brother-in-law of Jordan’s King Abdullah II.
Al-Saleh, the plaintiff in the case first reported by NBC News in May 2008, claims that he was cut out of a lucrative one-third share in Sargeant’s firm, the International Oil Trading Co., based in Boca Raton, Fla., and replaced by an ex-CIA official with deep contacts in the Jordanian government.
The crux of the bribery allegation involves a $9 million wire transfer from Sargeant’s firm, directed to a mysterious figure in Jordan’s intelligence agency identified in court documents only as “Pasha.”
Let me interpret this for you: Our Republican President invades Iraq, his Vice President arranges no bid contracts for his former firm Halliburton (and KBR) and the head of the Republican Party of Florida gets a no bid contract to Harry Sargeant III and his International Oil company to supply OIL TO OUR TROOPS and Harry arranges a $9 million bribe to Jordan to allow him to ship the oil across Jordan into Iraq. (and someone in Jordan is suing Harry because they didn't get their piece of the action- yes, suing for their share of the bribe-what lawyer took that case???) We are talking billions of dollars here, to republicans, friends and fundraisers of George W and Cheney. They invade Iraq and their friends receive massive war profits. This is obscene. Why isn't the Justice Dept prosecuting? Why is there no a select committee on investigating war profiteering perpetrated by the Bush administration? I mean, even Argentina prosecuted its previous General for war crimes....what gives with the USA? Would it seem to "partisan?" oh, those democrats, playing politics by investigating and prosecuting bush and cheney and their friends......we are talking about billions of dollars. And what about the irony??? We invade the nation with the second most oil reserves in the world and we have to pay this SOB billions to IMPORT OIL TO IRAQ across Jordan. Where did this jerk off get the oil? From the Saudi's? He buys oil on the market, probably sitting in supertankers of shore somewhere, they filled up in saudi arabia, he negotiates any kind of price for oil (no bid contract) he charges USA price plus (his pre arranged % profit, probably 30% just like KBR's contract) and then the ships sail back to middle east, unload and ship oil across Jordan to Iraq, and the oil ends up a few hundred miles from where it was originally drilled, in Saudi Arabia. That way there are lots of middle men to price gouge and lots of profits all around for all the Bush/cheney friends. See the picture of Gov Crist of Florida, and King Abdullah of Jordan, and the guy in the middle is Harry Sargeant III, the CEO of International Oil Trading Inc. this SOB should be in jail like that scum Madoff. But thats not the only investigation: Italy is investigating oil companies that supplied oil to Iraq and bought it from other countries (Kuwait) and supposedly bribed their way into the contracts. It seems like bribery is the way to go for business success, especially if you have friends in high places.
I am moving to Quebec asap - I am so sick of the BS we are fed by our government, the lives lost in Iraq, and the billions made by friends of Bush/Cheney. How do these bastards sleep at night? With drugs?
