In 1995, the Clinton-Gore effort to help Enron win deals crossed all bounds of decency by using humanitarian aid as leverage. The Clinton-Gore National Security Council and Vice President Gore strong-armed Mozambique so that Enron could obtain an exclusive deal using threats of aid cuts as leverage.
Enron failed to match the terms offered by South African firm Sasol for the giant Pande gas fields. However, Enron Corp.'s plan to develop Mozambique's Pande natural gas field was saved from cancellation by a blunt threat from Clinton Security Council head Anthony Lake to cut off future U.S. humanitarian aid to Mozambique.

It's only politically acceptable to bash Bush. If you point out any historical facts about JFK, Carter, or Clinton, you are automatically a wacko.
Didn't you get the memo?
And when did oil become evil?

Bushes family have capital and stocks investment in the oil industry. It's known that Bush has worked as a former CEO for a oil company in texas before becoming govenor of Texas.
Bill Clinton has no ties to oil. So don't know about him.

Bill Clinton is not the President of The United States, and hasn't been for six years. Get over it.

Did Clinton scratch the backs of the enronians the way BUSH did? I mean truly what does one Preseident have to do with the other. Besides Clinton has already been impeached, now its Georgie boy's turn.

thank you santa for asking this , I think too many people get caught up romanticizing bill. he was the rat ba$ tard who ratified the constitution so that the united states president can feel free to violate the geneva convention and us military and international law byu torturing others and detaining others without a trial , laws which our country abided by for years, but all I read and hear about is bad george bush who is merely using the tools provided by him by bad bill clinton
