No, this can't be true can it? But his Son (little Bush) said that the terrorists are just 'freedom-haters'. Apparently they sit around their dug-outs and get so angry at American liberty, they just get up, and tell the family, "You know something, I hate freedom. I think I'll go blow myself up."
What is not mentioned in the story is that next year our 50 year lease on Saudi oil is expired. Oh, and that Bin Ladin got dis-owned by the Royal family of Saudiville (his family owns THE ONLY construction company in Saudi Arabia with his 30+ brothers) because he wanted to fight for freedom of Afghanis when the Soviets invaded it in 1980's. Wait a minute, now if he hates freedom, then...but if he likes freedom then... Oh, what the hey, I'll just watch the news tonight and THEY'LL tell me what is the truth and explain it all to me. Vote Republican everyone, we're going to give Democracy to Iraq, er, um...
EXCERPT BEGINS
How was it possible that, just as President Bush declared a no-holds-barred global war on terror that would send hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops to Afghanistan and Iraq, and just as Osama bin Laden became Public Enemy No. 1 and the target of a worldwide manhunt, the White House would expedite the departure of so many potential witnesses, including two dozen relatives of the man behind the attack itself?
The incident is particularly important in light of the special relationship the Saudis have long had with the United States - and the Bush family in particular. For decades, Saudi Arabia has been one of America's two most powerful allies in the Middle East, not to mention an enormous source of oil.
The Bush family and the House of Saud, the two most powerful dynasties in the world,
have had close personal, business, and political ties for more than 20 years. In the 80s, when the elder Bush was vice president, he and Prince Bandar became personal friends. Together, they lobbied through massive U.S. arms sales to the Saudis and participated in critical foreign-policy ventures. In the 1991 Gulf War, the Saudis and the elder Bush were allies.
In the private sector, the Saudis supported Harken Energy, a struggling oil company in which George W. Bush was an investor.
Most recently, former president George H. W. Bush and former secretary of state James A. Baker III, his longtime ally, have appeared before Saudis at fund-raisers for the Carlyle Group, arguably the biggest private equity firm in the world. Today, former president Bush continues to serve as a senior adviser to the firm, whose investors include Saudis accused of ties to terrorist groups ...
