Canada Free Press [1] is now reporting;
“The Canadian company that Saddam Hussein invested a million dollars in belonged to the Prime Minister of Canada, canadafreepress.com has discovered.
Cordex Petroleum Inc., launched with Saddam’s million by Prime Minister Paul Martin’s mentor Maurice Strong’s son Fred Strong, is listed among Martin’s assets to the Federal Ethics committee on November 4, 2003.”
So now we may have a better idea why Martin reacted as he did to requests from President Bush about helping out in Iraq, eh?
CFP goes farther yet;
Martin’s public address to Canadians coincided with the very day that his long-time mentor Maurice Strong was tied to the $65-billion UN oil-for-food scandal.
Was Martin using the Adscam scandal as a distraction in a Maurice Strong Cordex oil-for-food scandal that would inevitably lead back to him?
Yeeeeouch!

The NY SUN has data here as well, buried in this story [2] Here’s another case of the Sun hitting beyond it’s weight class.
