Now that the Condi-Bush defense appears to be that they had no actionable intelligence, is it time to consider the lack of action in terms of the Bush relationship with the House of Saud?
Consider this before 9/11:
* One of the 1st acts of this administration was to pull the subs on station in the Indian Ocean that were there to launch missles on OBL when he was located.
* They took the Predator Recon Vehicle out of service, effectively blinding us in following OBL's movements.
* Not one word of this administration on Al Qaeda before 9/11.
* DOJ was deprioritizing counter-terrorism by reducing funding.
What happened after 9/11?
(1) We gave safe passage to the Royal Family and bin Laden family members while the rest of the US was grounded. This administration claims it never occurred.
(2) 15 of 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. No retaliation against the Kingdom. "0" hijackers from Iraq, but this administration made the case throughout 2002 and 2003 that Iraq was tied to 9/11.
(3) Who was Saudi Arabia's #1 threat in the ME? Their secular neighbor, Iraq.
(4) Whose country did we close our bases in? Saudi Araia. Just as OBL demanded.
(5) What country was the Congressional 9/11 Report refering to that had 28 pages redacted? Saudi Arabia.
(6) What country is James Baker defending in the $1BB lawsuit filed by the family of 9/11 victims? Saudi Arabia.
(7) Whose economy has rebounded by the War on Iraq and benefited from the loss of Iraq crude availability in the market? Saudi Arabia.
(8) What country had US diplomats who funneled money to the terrorists? Saudi Arabia.
(9) What country and family invested in George Bush's initial business, Harken Oil? Saudi Arabia/bin Laden family.
(10) What country and family invested in the Carlyle Group with partner, fromer President George HW Bush? Saudi Arabia and the bin Laden family.
(11) What country has had 25 year ties to the Bush family (and their corporate sponsers) and whom have benefited by this relationship to the tune of $1.4BB? Saudi Arabia.
At what point does business relationships compromise our national security? Could our current pResident be blackmailed by Saudi Arabia? How does this affect our present and future security?
Maybe most important, what is the Saudi Arabia investment in our economy? Does the House of Saud own the Bush family?
