well no shit, al downer, you don't say?
al downer has finally stepped forward and admitted to having knowledge of bribes paid to saddam hussein. after much public furor and investigation into this whole australian wheat scandal, finally the public idiots in elected office are coming forward. al downer, the minister of foreign affairs has known about this bribery payments from the australian wheat board to the personal bank accounts of saddam hussein, for the amount of $300 million, for the last 6 years.
six years ago the year was 2000. the sydney olympics were going on at that time. there was no mention of september 11, 2001, or was there a global war on terror. six years ago, yes, there were still economic sanctions against iraq, as put forth by the united nations several years earlier after the first iraq war. so why was it acceptable for australia to give saddam hussein money? bribe money.
move forward 3 years, to the year 2003. australia is an ally of the united states, britain, and several other nations who figure it is acceptable to go to war against iraq, under false pretenses- weapons of mass destruction (WMD is another globally fabricated lie of such grand proportions). yet, australia is still giving saddam hussein money, $300 million worth. where is the logic here? you give your enemy money! is this treason? what is going on?
move forward 3 years, to the present. a few weeks ago both al downer and the australian prime minister, john howard, swear they are clean on this bribery scandal. well i say that is bullshit. finally, we arrive to yesterday when al downsyndrom admits to having prior knowledge of this arrangement with saddam hussein. there has been a commisioned inquiry into this entire scandal. why has al downer and the prime miniature not come forward with this very relevant information earlier? could this be considered obstructing justice? certainly that would be less offensive than treason!
