The Crumbling Pyramid

What do you do if you're a liberal asshat protestor and the entire basis for your accusations against President Bush collapses?

NEW YORK — A Texas businessman is one of three people who were indicted Thursday as part of the U.N.'s Oil-for-Food scandal.

David B. Chalmers, head of Texas-based Bayoil, which participated in oil deals through the program, is the sole American among the three and is expected in federal court later on Thursday.

Chalmers and Bulgarian citizen and permanent U.S. resident Ludmil Dionissiev were arrested Thursday morning at their homes in Houston. U.S. Attorney David N. Kelley said he will seek the extradition from England of a third defendant, John Irving.

The three men are being slapped with charges involving an alleged scheme to pay millions of dollars in secret kickbacks to Saddam Hussein's regime so Bayoil and another Chalmers company, Bayoil Supply & Trading Limited, based in Nassau, Bahamas, could continue to sell Iraqi oil under the Oil-for-Food program.

You mean the Bushitler Administration is holding a fellow Texas oil magnate accountable for involvement in the Oil-For-Food Scandal? But... But... No!
