The REAL coalition of the willing - willing to play SUCKER THE U.S.

the VERY willing...

• President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan (rigs elections),
• President Teodoro Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea (has millions of dollars stashed in overseas bank accounts),
• President Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan (runs a nation that is anything but free and who has been accused by U.S. prosecutors of pocketing the bulk of $78 million in bribes from an American businessman)

and, what, you may ask, are they WILLING to do...? well, besides take bribes from U.S. businessmen, bleeding their respective countries of riches to feather their own luxurious lifestyles, and keeping their countrymen under tight, repressive control, they like to play everybody's favorite game, SUCKER THE U.S... today's contestant is nursultan nazarbayev of kazakhstan... let's look behind door number three and see what mr. nazarbayev has won...

A ALL EXPENSES PAID VISIT TO BEAUTIFUL WASHINGTON, D.C., THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE BUSH FAMILY COMPOUND IN MAINE...!

that's RIGHT...! but wait, there's MORE...!

PHOTO-OPS WITH THE LEADER OF THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY AND THE ENVY OF HIS FELLOW DICTATORS...!

tell us a little bit about mr. nazarbayev, don...

Nazarbayev, 66, a blast-furnace operator-turned-Communist functionary, has led Kazakhstan since 1990, when it was part of the Soviet Union, and has since won a series of tainted elections. His government has banned or refused to register opposition parties, closed newspapers and harassed advocacy groups. Two opposition leaders were found dead of gunshots in disputed circumstances.

not many people know much about kazakhstan, don...

Kazakhstan, a vast nation of 15 million on the Central Asian steppe, has emerged as an increasingly important player in the world energy market. With the largest crude oil reserves in the Caspian Sea region, Kazakhstan pumps 1.2 million barrels a day and exports 1 million of that. The Kazakh government hopes to boost production to 3.5 million barrels a day by 2015, rivaling Iran. U.S. and Russian companies and governments have competed for access to its oil.

congratulations, mr. nazarbayev... you're TODAY'S BIG WINNER...!

p.s.

{President Bush] issued a 2004 proclamation banning corrupt foreign officials from visiting the United States. A State Department official said hundreds of foreign officials have been denied visas under Bush's proclamation but could not explain how it would not apply in Nazarbayev's case.

(thanks to the wapo...)
