William Timmons, the Washington lobbyist who John McCain has named to head his presidential transition team, aided an influence effort on behalf of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to ease international sanctions against his regime.

The two lobbyists who Timmons worked closely with over a five year period on the lobbying campaign later either pleaded guilty to or were convicted of federal criminal charges that they had acted as unregistered agents of Saddam Hussein's government.

During the same period beginning in 1992, Timmons worked closely with the two lobbyists, Samir Vincent and Tongsun Park, on a previously unreported prospective deal with the Iraqis in which they hoped to be awarded a contract to purchase and resell Iraqi oil. Timmons, Vincent, and Park stood to share at least $45 million if the business deal went through.

Timmons' activities occurred in the years following the first Gulf War, when Washington considered Iraq to be a rogue enemy state and a sponsor of terrorism. His dealings on behalf of the deceased Iraqi leader stand in stark contrast to the views his current employer held at the time.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

Now now, non partisan politics is good, hands across (under, intwined with little fingers crossed and thumbs pointing downwards) the floor/table/sea inclusiveness, hurrah!

Refusing to use the spellchick!

It's ok because McCain's one of the good ol' boys. Obama, on the other hand, is just a boy. Get him!

Imagine if Obama's middle name was Hussein and if Obama sounded like Osama. McCain could really milk that.

Newsflash: McDone's failing campaign has been and still is milking that.
