The Saudi connection to 9-11 is the key to the Junta's downfall
the way that the BFEE does backflips to protect the royal family and the bin ladens is a disgusting display that's despised in all corners of the U.S., and on a widely bi-partisan level.

That's the story to focus on, and to beat the Junta over the head with...they have nowhere to hide.

5. We didn't need to bomb
the shit out of Afghanistan and Iraq to get rid of the terrorists. We need to get this misadministration out of the WH, if we want to stop terrorism.

When the WH put this interests of a foreign country, ahead of the interest of the US, that is treason.

8. You get it.
Why stuffing the 9/11 report and redacting everything about the true root of terror? Is this a national security issue or a Bush/Cheney personal security issue?

If this is a BC personal security issue, then our national security is still very much in danger.

7. Chris Matthews muttered something under his breath
the other night about Poppy Bush loving the Saudis and how it would be interesting to see how it all came out. Now Chris, like him or not has been around a long time. He knows there's a story there. And I agree. When that dot is connected...when people realize that Bush not only attacked the innocent but protected the guilty...I just hope it happens before the next election so we can start to clean up the mess as soon as possible. I just can't imagine another four years of this.

9. We protected the Saudis from Iraq in the first war.
Edited on Sun Jul-27-03 01:02 PM by gulliver
They stabbed us in the back. The Saudi management (their leaders are really just the managers of a big oil company) let their country turn into an anti-American hellhole.

The Saudi connection to 9/11 is fatal to the Bush administration. The Bushies are indisputably hiding that connection. That cover-up alone should be their downfall. The whole thing reeks of oil.

Then Max Cleland says that the Bushies delayed the report because it would get in the way of their drive to war with Iraq. It just gets deeper and deeper with these Bushies.

Most of the Al Qaeda hijackers on 9/11 were Saudi, yet Bush strongly emphasized a non-existent connection between Iraq and Al Qaeada. Bush let people think that some of the hijackers were Iraqis (none were).

I'm amazed. It's like watching Wile E. Coyote standing out their in mid-air off the end of a cliff. I'm waiting for Bush to look down and see where he's going.

10. I would love to know WHY Bush is protecting the Saudi's.
Is he or his family benefiting in some way? If so, that has to become public.

12. The WHY is the most important issue.
Is Bush and/or Cheney being blackmailed? Is it the fact that Saudi Arabia has a $7TT investment in our country and that a liquidation of their assets would destroy our economy totally?

Whatever, it all comes back to Republican policies starting with Reagan/Bush and GWHB: financing Saddam Hussein's government to proxy our interests against Iran which were directly connected to the unholy financial Bush oil interests in propping up the corrupt regimes of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

11. Bush Family Evil Empire partners w/ Bin Ladens
BFEE thru Carlyle, among other entities, are business partners
with the Bin Ladens.

Even GWBush's first oil venture was partially funded by
Bin Laden oil money.

Corruption = Bush Family

Bush family were in business with the Nazis.
The US Govt even had to sieze assets from the Bush family
for continuing to do business with the enemies of the
United States of America thru VESTING ORDER 248, 1942

14. Excellent Overview from Hermes Press.
The House of Saud and House of Bush are like THIS. According to Klayman of Judicial Watch(!), Poppy and Babs sleep over at the bin Ladens' house when they visit Saudi Arabia! It's no joke. These folks are CLOSE. Here's how:

The Bush-Saudi Connection

By Michelle Mairesse


EXCERPT...

The Wahhabi Taliban in Afghanistan had the blessings of the Saudi royal family and of The Big Three--the bin Laden family, the al Ahmoudi family, and the Mahfouz family--the richest clans in that medieval kingdom. (A C.I.A. official testified to Congress that Khalid bin Mahfouz is bin Laden’s brother-in-law). The desert oligarchs profited from world-wide investments as well as sleazy banking schemes such as the infamous Bank of Credit and Commerce International.

Salem bin Laden, Osama’s brother, has conducted all his American affairs through James Bath, a Houston crony of the Bush family. Bath’s former business partner Bill White testified in court that Bath had been a liaison for the C.I.A. In 1979 Bath invested $50,000 in Arbusto, George W. Bush’s first business venture. Rumor had it that Bath was acting as Salem bin Laden’s representative. "In conflicting statements, Bush at first denied ever knowing Bath, then acknowledged his stake in Arbusto and that he was aware Bath represented Saudi interests." (4)

In addition to doing aviation business with Saudi sheiks, Bath was part owner of a Houston bank whose chief stockholder was Ghaith Pharaon, who represented the Bank of Commerce and Credit International (BCCI), a criminal global bank with branches in 73 countries. BCCI proceeded to defraud depositors of $10 billion during the ‘80s, while providing a money laundry conduit for the Medellin drug cartel, Asia’s major heroin cartel, Manuel Noriega, Saddam Hussein, the C.I.A., and Islamist terrorist organizations worldwide. (5)

Big Three wheeler-dealer Khalid bin Mahfouz, one of the largest stockholders in the criminal bank, was indicted when the massive BCCI banking scandal blew apart in the early 1990s. The Saudi royal family placed him under house arrest after discovering that Mahfouz had used the royal bank to channel millions of dollars through fake charities into bin Laden’s organizations, but Mahfouz was not so much punished as inconvenienced. (6)

15. The Righteous Wind of Truth -- from the Windy City
You hit the nail on the head, Chicagoanian. That would indeed bring down the House of Bush.

Hope some journalist with clout will have the courage and integrity to tell the story to the US of A.

House of Bush
House of Saud
House of the Third Reich
House of Usher (how did that get in there?)

16. Add the House of Bin Laden to that list....
the connection to both the House of Saud and the House of Bin Laden is BFEE, they are close to both houses, very close!

There is a contention that Osama Bin Laden hates the House of Saud because they allowed infidels onto the Holy ground but what needs to be clear the House of Bin Laden is bigger than Osama and Bush Sr. had BIG ties with them.

House of Saud------> BFEE<--------House of Bin Laden

19. add the British elite to the stew
...and you might have an explanation for Tony Blair's behavior. The British elite have had long, strong connections to the house of Saud.

17. The Saudi Connection is again becoming an issue because of the
Edited on Sun Jul-27-03 04:09 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
Niger story which forced the release of the 9/11 docs with blank pages to represent redacted info after much wrangling to keep them out of the public eye. This has been a synergistic move. This is why I disagreed with your post yesterday about letting go of the Niger docs. The Niger Docs helped move attention away from the Saudi's and towards Saddam.

But one thing everyone needs to consider is the degree to which the Saudis are invested in our economy and what it means for them to pull their investments should the heat turn up. I am not saying I am against turning up the heat but if the Saudi's worry up fron that their assets will be seized and react, it could mean a lot more pain in the market and jobs lost.

AGAIN...I am NOT arguing against turning up the heat.

In a perfect world, Bush, Cheney et al would be tried in a military tribunal and their assets and Halliburton's and Bechtel's assets seized under the same anti-terrorism laws they seem to think are acceptable for everyone else.

18. We must bring it all down
No token resignations, no blame shifting, no getting rid of one BFEE front man for another. We must bring the whole god damn house of cards down with one mighty blow. The people MUST know that the Saudis were behind it, they MUST know Iraq (and to a large degree Afghanistan as well) had nothing to do with, and the MUST know WHY Bush did not go after Saudi Arabia.
