2 mars 2012<\/a>, qui diffuse la nouvelle. Madsen dispose en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de bonnes sources ; quant \u00e0 la Russie et \u00e0 la Chine, ils us\u00e8rent de leur droit de veto et pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e8rent le bras d’honneur aux $5 milliaerds.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abInformed diplomatic sources have reported to WMR that Bahrain, representing the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), offered Russia a bribe of $5 billion if it did not use its veto in the Security Council to defeat an Arab League-sponsored resolution calling for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIn the February 4 vote on the resolution, Russia, along with China, used their vetoes to shoot down the resolution. U.S. ambassador to the UN Susan Rice called the vetoes disgusting and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton referred to the Russian and Chinese action as despicable, with Germany’s UN ambassador Peter Wittig calling the vetoes a disgrace.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbBut in what could be termed disgusting, despicable, and disgraceful was the reported offering of a $5 billion bribe for Russia’s yes vote by Bahrain’s foreign minister, Shaikh Khalid bin Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, during a trip to Moscow prior to the UN Security Council vote. Our sources report that the Russian government flatly turned down the offer of the money, which was bundled by Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbWMR has also learned that a similar bribe by the GCC was offered to China in return for its yes vote on the Syria resolution. The offer, which was scoffed at by the Chinese government, was reportedly made during a visit by Chinese Prime Minister Wei Jiabao to Doha, the Qatari capital, on January 18.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
