So Bill illegally sought Uranium from a dictator and gets 137 mil?

[Zueda]

I wonder what the labor conditions are in these mines?

[ursi]

1. the whole thing is disgusting and the part about him helping that Dubai company out

while his wife was fighting it in Congress...he's going to drag this woman down one more time, I tell ya.

[Skwmom]

4. You think she didn't know what Bill was doing? Give me a break.

[madrchsod]

8. i detest her but for now i`m giving her a break

i`m concerned since he`s stuck his nose into this primary that it will hurt the party which is what i care about. the republican`s have been given a a golden talking point and we can not afford this--the race is going to be close no matter who the candidate is

[andyrowe]

2. what's this?

where are you hearing this?

[lurky]

3. Front page of the NY Times

[madrchsod]

5. front page of the democratic underground

[bilgewaterbill]

6. Send Joe Wilson to check this out!

[Zueda]

7. Hah!

:rofl:

[madrchsod]

9. never thought of that

hmmm....

[lurky]

10. Wow, that has to be rough.

Considering it is a brutal dictatorship, I somehow doubt their worker protections are adequate.

Add to this the special dangers of Uranium mining -- Uranium ore emits radon gas, and requires special ventilation and breathing accommodations to be done safely -- and those workers must be in terrible shape.

edit: Confused Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. :blush:

11. What "illegally"? Where did you get that?

[aquart]

15. Obama spin.

[suston96]

17. Obama spin? No. Obama lies.

[Zueda]

21. The US Govt has deemed this Dictator illegal to enter the US...

Here's what happened to one guy who did something akin to what Bill did:

U.S. prosecutors have charged businessman James H. Giffen with steering $78 million in bribes to Nazarbayev and one of his former prime ministers in the 1990s in exchange for influence in oil transactions.

[MonkeyFunk]

12. Bill got the money?

No, his foundation did. That's a good thing - it's doing wonderful work. It's not Bill's personal slush fund.

[Tarheel_Dem]

14. everything could be on the up & up, but why the secrecy over the

donor list? It just all seems so seedy. And you and I both know the media will have a field day with all the speculation.

[MonkeyFunk]

19. donor lists

aren't released. People donate with the expectation that their contribution is private.

Would you like Planned Parenthood to release their donor list so anti-abortion whackjobs can pore through it? Bosses could fire employees, whackos could harass big contributors....

No, charitable foundations don't release their donor list. Even Bill has said there are people on the list who would be embarrassed if it were known they donated.

[Tarheel_Dem]

25. what you say may be true, but I have a feeling it would be

more embarassing for Bill than the donors. By the way, I work for a non-profit hospice, and our donors are listed in our monthly newsletter. So, I'll have to ask my CEO about your claim.

[AllyCat]

20. And you know it will keep us in the nuclear power game for a long time to come

if HRC is elected. Ugh. No way.

[aquart]

13. What was the illegal part?

[Zueda]

22. I'm no lawyer but maybe this guy can tell ya...

U.S. prosecutors have charged businessman James H. Giffen with steering $78 million in bribes to Nazarbayev and one of his former prime ministers in the 1990s in exchange for influence in oil transactions.

Also this dictator would be arrested if he entered the US.

[aquart]

26. What did BILL CLINTON do that was illegal?

Focus.

[rodeodance]

27. IP has no evidence as far I can see, yet he posts it.

[City Lights]

31. You need to get out more.

The evidence is on the front page of the NYT. There are numerous threads in GDP discussing this story, and one in LBN. And the LBN thread is now on the DU home page.

[ursi]

16. why does Hillary never seem to know what her husband is up to?

[Bread and Circus]

33. she knows.....

[AllyCat]

18. Yes, but I'm sure his "philanthropic" organization makes it up to them somewhere

Really. This is just horrid. This is another reason I CANNOT vote for HRC in the GE. To me, she is absolutely no different than any of the jerks running for the Repukes. I know many will flame me for saying it, but I just can't do it. I'm just one person...so hopefully, it won't matter.

[Zueda]

23. Bill's philanthropic organization is a front for

a group of disaster capitalism investors.

[aquart]

24. Now that's worth exposing. Let's see the links.

[suziedemocrat]

28. Honestly, I don't like ANY of them.

I want to move to New Zealand or something!

[AllyCat]

29. Yeah, that too. We are down to choosing between Corporatist A or B

and that's not much of a choice. But then, I have fooled myself again into believing this is a democracy.

[shenmue]

30. Didn't Ken Starr do this enough for you? No? Okay, how about Limbaugh and Hannity?

What is this? They defeated that "bought uranium" bullshit a long time ago. I don't care who reprints a pile of shit. It is still a pile of shit.

You'll believe anything.

[Tarheel_Dem]

32. so the questions shouldn't be asked?

We wait until the nomination is all sewn up, and then the investigations begin? Sorry, been there.. done that.
