Oil Corruption
Apparently, Condi Rice was a member of Chevron’s board, an oil company, and led its public policy committee. So what's the problem? Well, the problem is that this company apparently was paying kickbacks to Saddam Hussein for oil it bought from Iraq (UN oil for food scandal).
And the NY Times article continues: "As part of the deal under negotiation, Chevron, which now owns Texaco, is not expected to admit to violating the U.N. sanctions. But Chevron is expected to acknowledge that it should have been aware that illegal kickbacks were being paid to Iraq on the oil, the investigators said."
One would assume that Ms. Rice will provide an explanation, or she will resign after that. Of course, neither will happen. The most incompetent secretary of the state working under the worst president in the history of the country, will continue having her job for 2 more years.
