Bush is the Missing Link between Osama and Saddam

[Octafish]

When he's not fundraising or vacationing, Cheerleader-in-Chief Bush still likes to talk about the many, apparently yet-to-be discovered 9/11 terror links between Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. What the Little Turd from Crawford fails to mention is that HE, George Walker Bush, is the real link between the two and the events of September 11.

Here's how:

1. Bush family did business for YEARS with the bin Laden family of Yemen and Saudi Arabia. This isn’t recent Carlyle Group arms-oil-construction business, either. This goes back to when young and drunk George W Bush was heading Arbusto Oil, then HARKEN Energy into the ground. When he needed cash the bin Ladens got him funding to keep the dry wells open. Don’t believe me, ask James R Bath, Bush’s Texas Air National Guard buddy who was the official representative of the bin Mahfouz/bin Laden US business interests.

2. Bush 1 and Reagan-Bush administrations sold billions in arms — including the stuff for WMDs — with Saddam Hussein, supporting his terrorist-linked government when it was at war with Iran, even when it was against the law. It didn’t even matter that Saddam had started the war and the US was secretly selling arms to Iran at the time. The end result was at least one million dead Iranians and Iraqis — mostly conscripts and children.

So, what does this mean? It means our country is being run into the ground by a Traitor, really nothing more than a figurehead fronting for a Traitorous Cabal I like to call the Bush Organized Crime Family. In DU shorthand, perhaps borrowed from Bartcop, it's "BFEE" for Bush Family Evil Empire.

What can we do about it? We’re only little old DU. Bush has the nuclear launch codes. That is so, but we have something mightier than the sword. We have the Truth.

Thus, what you and I can do about it is tell everyone we know the facts. Give them the resources and links to check it out. And ask them to spread the word. Pretty soon, things will reach a critical mass. Then Sneer and Smirk and the rest of the crooks in the Bush cabal will find themselves at a preliminary hearing on charges of Treason. That’s why they fear free thinkers and free people and, most of all, the Truth.

PS: Some of you may’ve notice my efforts in recent days to bring this and related information to the fore. It is not merely political. DU is being monitored by our friends on the Right and by our friends in Government. For most of them, this stuff is new. And like most on DU, their loyalty is to the United States and they are sworn to uphold its Constitution.

1. The crimes are so horendous that americans refuse to see

it. It's like a psychological mechanism, denial. We ain't trying to hear dat. That's the key to the whole thing. The crimes are so huge, it seems riduculous to even think that someone purposely did them.

2. Bush is missing...

the link between his brain and his mouth!

3. But this is not new ...

... they are just blinded by the right. Someone has told them that any one who brings up "ugly" facts about their hero HATES him!

Back in the summer of '00, I worked with some right wingers. I almost went nuts hearing Rush/Bush* all the time. I kept my sanity by researching on the internet. (I knew they monitored my surfing, I had hoped to bring some insight to them!) Somewhere I still have pages of print-outs about Bush*, the bin Ladens, Bath, and Arbusto.

11. You bring up a KEY point about communications, Cherie...

... For communication to be successful requires common ground. First people must have a mutual interest in each other. Once that is established, it is easier for new information to be conveyed. When it comes to information that is ground-shaking or world-changing, requires the highest degree of trust. It also helps when simplified to the point where understanding is not lost on trying to decipher what is meant.

Rush Limpopper and the other hate-radio types are successful because they keep reinforcing tired, venomous stereotypes of their listeners' upbringing: Liberals are tax-and-spend, welfare-cheat minorities, etc, while restating the lies and rewriting the history about their own NAZI-KKK-organized crime backgrounds.

I really appreciate your posting, fellow Michigander! The reason I added the few links to each of the main points is that I wanted to give others — especially visitors to DU — something to start them on their way to finding out more. Like we hope for your pals at work, ignorance can be cured with continued, Liberal applications of Truth.

10. Good point, Cat Atomic!

5. If Kerry talks about Bush and 911, even I'll vote for him

I've been the most anti-Kerry person on DU, but if Kerry says something about this, and brings up all the BCCI/Iran-Contra stuff he supposedly exposed in the early 1990's, I'll vote for him in a second. Kerry got the endorsement of the firefigher's union, that means a lot to me.

All he has to do is say it in public, on TV. Then he has my vote.

[ComerPerro]

6. Amen

I would vote for anyone who would actually have the nerve, bravery, and resolve to expose BushCo.

[Octafish]

13. Hope to count both of you as Kerry supporters.

While it didn't get ANY press coverage that I can find, John Kerry brought up BCCI in the candidates' forum sponsored by the Children's Defense Fund:

EXCERPT...

...(A)s a Senator, I've walked a different path. I am the only person that has run for the Senate four times, been elected without ever taking a dime of soft money, PAC money, or independent expenditures. I have shown leadership by standing up to Ronald Reagan and holding him accountable for an illegal war in Central America. I blew the whistle on Oliver North and his illegal aid network, on the BCCI Bank, and I believe what the country wants is the capacity to make America safer, stronger, and more secure and whose priorities for children, for health care, for the environment, and education are in sync with most Americans. And I believe I offer that.

I also heard Sen. Kerry at the Detroit Economic Club make a similar statement when asked why he would make a good President. — Octafish

Why are those pages still classified? Could it be they will expose a few more details about the connection between Osama, *, and Sadaam?

Since Graham left the race, has anybody else been talking about the coverup?

The Bushes never did business with the bin Ladens, so stop saying that!

Evidence Bush is in bed with bin Laden should get even the most rabid Freeper's attention. From Hermes-Press:

The Bush-Saudi Connection

By Michelle Mairesse

EXCERPT...

Jihad

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.

15. Kerry's actual report on BCCI

Thanks to Unknown Known from another thread
http://www.fas.org/irp/congress/1992_rpt/bcci/

The BCCI Affair
A Report to the Committee on Foreign Relations
United States Senate
by
Senator John Kerry and Senator Hank Brown
December 1992
102d Congress Session Senate Print 102-140

FAS Note: This December 1992 document is the penulimante draft of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee report on the BCCI Affair. After it was released by the Committee, Sen. Hank Brown, reportedly acting at the behest of Henry Kissinger, pressed for the deletion of a few passages, particulary in Chapter 20 on "BCCI and Kissinger Associates." As a result, the final hardcopy version of the report, as published by the Government Printing Office, differs slightly from the Committee's softcopy version presneted below.--Steven Aftergood

18. Thanks, maggrwaggr! BCCI is in the news, like HALEY BARBOUR..

From a page cached on GOOGLE:

The Senate Commitee on BCCI, the Kerrey Committee, noted that Ed Rogers, the White House political director, was hired directly away by the BCCI sheikh and paid, along with a hitherto unknown assistant named Haley Barbour (later to become National Republican Committee Chairman), the sum of $600,000 to not do much of nothing. The Senate Committee concluded that it, along with the "gifts" of cash to GW Bush, was intended to influence President Bush.

Where it came from...

THE BCCI AFFAIR

EXCERPT...

ED ROGERS AND KAMAL ADHAM

Introduction

In the view of the Subcommittee, the real story of Ed Rogers' involvement in the BCCI scandal has yet to be fully revealed. Rogers, a former White House Political Director, left his position at the White House in early August 1991 to start the political consulting firm of Rogers and Barbour in Washington D.C. By the end of August Rogers, who had only briefly practiced law, was offered a $600,000 contract with Kamal Adham.

Rogers was deposed by the Subcommittee in March 1992. His account of how he received the contract with Adham, who he consulted before accepting Adham as a client, and his relationship to Adham after withdrawing from the contract, are all called into question by his telephone logs, documents provided to the Subcommittee and interviews conducted by the Subcommittee.

Initial Contacts

Rogers described to the Subcommittee the events leading up to his representation of Kamal Adham. According to Rogers, in mid-August after he left the White House, a friend of his, the General Manager at the Grand Hotel, Samir Darwisch, called him to tell him that "his friend Moussa Raphael was in town looking for lawyers and asked me if I would please come by the hotel and meet him."(1) Rogers stated that he knew Darwish from "being around the hotel and events at the hotel."(2) Rogers said while at the White House he went to the hotel "once every couple of weeks." He also explained that the Hotel's owner, Joe Yazbek, had been to the White House, to discuss "events in Lebanon" with then White House Chief of Staff, John Sununu. At some point Rogers learned that Moussa Raphael was the lawyer for the Mr. Yazbek's business interests.

Rogers says that when Darwish first called him he did not mention the name Kamal Adham, but Rogers was nonetheless sufficiently interested by Darwish's invitation that he met with Raphael that same night at the Grand Hotel. According to Rogers, Raphael "provided a general overview of what was doing here on behalf of the sheik, in order to organize the sheik's legal affairs." The general overview included "the problems that were relevant to the sheik, or First American, BCCI," and, testified Rogers, at some point Raphael "must have" identified Plato Cacheris as the criminal defense lawyer for Adham.(3) In his testimony Rogers did not indicate whether Raphael discussed the Sheik's financial affairs in the United States.

17. and, like Noriega, they don't need them anymore, so ....

the hunt is on

[Octafish]

19. BFEE SOP.

They use the dictator or despot for all their worth. Then they screw 'em in the final deal and take all their loot, too. It's a mafia-like business model, without the honor.

PS: DUers might think the BFEE business model is bad. You should see how they treat friends of the family. Think Hinckley or de Mohrenschildt.
