Another informative "Democracy Now" program connecting Saudi-Bush....
http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/01/1420248

snip:
Ex-CIA Agent Robert Baer discusses why the Bush administration is trying to shield Saudi ties to the Sept. 11 attacks. He also talks about the ties between Saudis and the hijackers; the Bush family's connections with the Saudi royal family and the Carlyle Group; and the possibility of the U.S. someday seizing Saudi's oil fields.

My Opinion:
Bush and his business partners (many republican officials) are soo corrupt it goes beyond description. According to Baer, the Bush family is soo heavily invested in Saudi Arabian oil and the Royal Saudi family that blame for 9/11, despite the evidence pointing to Saudi complicity in that tragic event, was blurred to suggest Iraq did it in order to keep their business deals in place.

The American people would want answers as to who did this and why. Blame HAD to be shifted to something other than the real culprits (Saudi funding of radicals)in order to salvage oil business partnership with Saudi dictators ruling with and iron fist and American oil business complicity. Enter stage right, Saddam Hussein.

Just look at the rhetorical run-up to invading Iraq. Just about every administration speech that had a reference to 9/11 had the word "Iraq" in it somewhere. The intent was for the public and Congress to connect Iraq with 9/11 without having to provide evidence.

3000 innocent Americans were killed because of Saudi Royal Family funding of Fundamentalist Islamic groups and the Bush administrations' "after-the-fact" cover-up of its involvement with the Saudi Royal Family and Bin Ladens.

These Islamic radicals, who despise the ruling family, took the money from them in order to operate. In exchange they attacked only westerners, not the Royal Family.

It is now the intent of the Bush administration to use jingoistic patriotic language using words and phrases such as "we are bringing the Iraqi people freedom" to rally the public behind his nefarious scheme. A scheme intended to capture Iraqi oil fields for plunder and at the same time install a heavy military presence in the region in order to "draw out the terrorists" into attacking Americans on the ground in Iraq.

American soldiers are sitting ducks in a shooting gallery for the Al-Qaeda. Domestic pressure will be and has been brought to bare on the administration to withdrawal American troops from this situation.

They will attempt another UN resolution comfortable to "Old Europe" to get the many nations who disapproved of this action to send their "troops" into Iraq to relieve the American troops on station. Thus the dying will be done by "old Europe" and the booty will be shared by all.
