So I was watching the State of the Union last night.... - Flumper Barflusterbutt - 01-31-2008

Clinton might be in trouble. Apparantly he helped some big $$ donor get a huge uranium mining contract in Kazahstan. Personally went there with him to introduce him to the president of Kazahstan. After the deal, the guy has donated over $30 million to Clinton's foundation and pledged another $100 million? No wonder he wants back into the white house.

His wife will probably divorce him if she gets the job. That's what all successful women do.

If you think anything that can hurt the clintons hasnt already been dug up before you're crazy.Ken Starr spent 120 million investigating them and came up with nothing.

Yeah, but this just happened. Or just made the news. Apparently this guy owns a mining company that had never done much of anything, small time. This deal was some huge blockbuster deal and now he's got one of the biggest uranium mines in the world. Or rights to the biggest mine.

And he's dumping huge $$ into Bill's pockets.

Today, the New York Times reports that Bill Clinton flew
to Kazakhstan in 2005 on a private jet of Candadian financier
who wanted to achieve a mining contract for extensive amounts
or recently discovered uranium. The two men met with the
President of Kazakhstan, who has quashed any political dissent
in that country; he is an absolutist. The Canadian achieves the
contract. In return, the Canadian makes a $31.3 Million donation to the
Bill Clinton charitable foundation. Info just made public in December,
2007. The initial Clinton response is that there is no connection
between the trip and the donation........Go to NYT and read the entire
feature.........

From the New York Times:


Upon landing on the first stop of a three-country philanthropic tour, the two men were whisked off to share a sumptuous midnight banquet with Kazakhstan’s president, Nursultan A. Nazarbayev, whose 19-year stranglehold on the country has all but quashed political dissent.

Mr. Nazarbayev walked away from the table with a propaganda coup, after Mr. Clinton expressed enthusiastic support for the Kazakh leader’s bid to head an international organization that monitors elections and supports democracy. Mr. Clinton’s public declaration undercut both American foreign policy and sharp criticism of Kazakhstan’s poor human rights record by, among others, Mr. Clinton’s wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

Within two days, corporate records show that Mr. Giustra also came up a winner when his company signed preliminary agreements giving it the right to buy into three uranium projects controlled by Kazakhstan’s state-owned uranium agency, Kazatomprom.

The monster deal stunned the mining industry, turning an unknown shell company into one of the world’s largest uranium producers in a transaction ultimately worth tens of millions of dollars to Mr. Giustra, analysts said.

Just months after the Kazakh pact was finalized, Mr. Clinton’s charitable foundation received its own windfall: a $31.3 million donation from Mr. Giustra that had remained a secret until he acknowledged it last month. The gift, combined with Mr. Giustra’s more recent and public pledge to give the William J. Clinton Foundation an additional $100 million, secured Mr. Giustra a place in Mr. Clinton’s inner circle, an exclusive club of wealthy entrepreneurs in which friendship with the former president has its privileges.

This was not a yes or no question. What makes you so certain? What does "this" refer to?

He went in as an unofficial ex-president, representing nothing and gave some crown to a retard that runs a country along the lines of a saddam hussein. A country his own wife has come out and denounced based on their treatment of the people by the government. And he did it so that his buddy could get a huge Uranium contract and in turn Bill could pocket millions of dollars.

GWB would never do this. Bush was quoted as saying that he "thought Kahzakstan was where that dude Borat was from. Hehehe. (shoulder lift)"
