Confidential documents posted to Facebook by a group called WikiLeaks Libya show that a motley group of Washington fixers-for-hire mounted an 11th-hour push in April to revive Moammer Gadhafi's sagging Washington reputation. And all they asked for their services was the nominal fee of $10 million from the Libyan strongman, who was killed by rebel forces last month in his hometown of Sirte. The story was first reported late Thursday by the New York Times' Scott Shane and Penn Bullock.
The letter also lists a roster of members for the proposed "American Action Group." The terrorism specialist Neil Livingstone was a lead name; he reportedly recently closed his lobbying firm Executive Action LLC to explore a GOP run for governor in Montana. Also included on the list were Kansas City, Missouri attorney Randell K. Wood of Wood Law Firm LLC; former senior CIA Middle East officer Marty Martin; and Neil Alpert, pitched in the documents as a onetime fundraiser for the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee and the Republican National Committee.
Hmm, so a couple of opportunistic lobbyists attempt cash in... I bet that's a first in Washington, eh? I'm sure you upstanding Democrats would never do that, except for Solyndra of course, which actually cost the taxpayers money.
It's not a secret that there are many elements within the Republican Party that admire scum like Gadaffi and Bin Laden. Why else do you think Dumbya Bush didn't do much to find Bin Laden, and GOP teabaggers were angry and disappointed when President Obama finally nabbed Bin Laden and helped get rid of Gaddafi?
