Re: Cambodia Again

Date: July 14, 1998

From the Killing Fields to Making a Killing.

Just as we are hearing that business initiatives in Vietnam aren't nearly as lucrative and rewarding as hoped for, and that Presidential waivers of US Law are required to insure a healthy Hanoi bottom-line, Cambodia is thrust upon us.

Unbelievably, one of the most desperately poor, devastated and violent countries is being looked at as the new Asian Tiger, by none other than a Clinton family member.

News reports out of Phnom Penh are stating that Tony Rodham, the first-brother-in-law, is currently housed in a curious hotel and looking to do business with none other than Hun Sen. The Hun Sen who waged a bloody coup last year that brought even more misery and suffering upon the Cambodian people... the Hun Sen who had questionable alliances with or at least forgave the horrific war criminal Pol Pot who languished in the jungles after years of genocide. The Hun Sen who is currently running for re-election in a violence marred campaign that indicates more atrocities against opposition workers.

Rodham held his news conference in a hotel owned by a man who is barred from the US because of drug-trafficking allegations. During the conference Rodham stated that the devastated, communist country held 'tremendous business opportunity.' Some other memorable quotes attributable to Rodham, with respect to the election underway, if the visit 'does help promote a peaceful election process, then I consider that an added plus.' 'We came to see what fits here in Cambodia, and there are many fits.'

According to AP, Tony Rodham was alleged by the Boston Globe to have been offered $10,000.00 by an official in Paraguay last year to arrage a meeting between Clinton and the leader of Paraguay, which Rodham denies. And now he's at a photo op with the heir apparent of Cambodia's brutal policies, looking for busine$$ possibilities, while the people of Cambodian continue to be brutalized. You just can't make stuff like this up.
