Chevron has an oil tanker named after George W. Bush's foreign policy advisor. The "Condoleeza Rice" was built in 1993, sails under a Bahamian flag, and weighs 129,915 tons (deadweight).[1] Professor Condoleeza Rice has been a director of Chevron since 1991.[2] Her hardline stance on Iraq is well-documented. In a just-published Reuter's story, she stated: ``I would expect a somewhat tougher policy toward Iraq (than Clinton's), where ... Governor Bush would be committed to a decisive use of force if the opportunity ever came again.'' [3] Chevron is one of the world's largest oil companies, with 1999 net income up 55 percent from 1998, to $2.070 billion.[4] Regarding an earlier post on the confluence of oil and American politics, <http://www.casi.org.uk/discuss/2000/msg00830.html>, perhaps David Ignatius should be taken more seriously ;-) ?? === [1] <http://www.usmm.org/socalships.html> Original listing courtesy of Harper's Magazine, Sep. 2000, page 9.
