William Timmons, the Washington lobbyist who John McCain has named to head his presidential transition team, aided an influence effort on behalf of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to ease international sanctions against his regime.There's a maverick for you. McCain bashes Obama for knowing Bill Ayers, but McCain hires the guy who lobbied for a brutal dictator who killed hundreds of thousands of people, a dictator who used chemical weapons against the Kurds and against the Iranians. Timmons lobbied for a dictator who, well, you remember all of the allegations, substantiated and fantasy, charged by the Bush Administration.
McCain's leader of his transition team worked for Saddam Hussein. That's the key sentence.
