so he is mentioned in the 9/11 forum, but I've never heard of him anywhere else.

14. Here you go:

Bush-Linked Company Handled Security for the WTC, Dulles and United
by Margie Burns
 


George W. Bush's brother was on the board of directors of a company providing electronic security for the World Trade Center, Dulles International Airport and United Airlines, according to public records. The company was backed by an investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corp., also linked for years to the Bush family.

The security company, formerly named Securacom and now named Stratesec, is in Sterling, Va.. Its CEO, Barry McDaniel, said the company had a ``completion contract" to handle some of the security at the World Trade Center ``up to the day the buildings fell down."

It also had a three-year contract to maintain electronic security systems at Dulles Airport, according to a Dulles contracting official. Securacom/Stratesec also handled some security for United Airlines in the 1990s, according to McDaniel, but it had been completed before his arriving on the board in 1998.

McDaniel confirmed that the company has security contracts with the Department of Defense, including the U.S. Army, but did not detail the nature of the work, citing security concerns. It has an ongoing line with the General Services Administration - meaning that its bids for contracts are noncompetitive - and also did security work for the Los Alamos laboratory before 1998.

15. wow I didn't know the Security co had United Airlines as a client also.

what a small world. RIGHT!

[leftstreet]

10. He has things to hide?

12. Here he is hiding behind Jeb

16. Gads

Twofers on ugly!!

[Obamarama]

17. Take a gander at this shit:

He’s Bush’s youngest brother, and from the years 1993 to 2000 he was a principle in a private Kuwait-American investment firm formally known as Securacom, but now known as Stratasec. This firm provided security for the World Trade Center, Dulles international airport and United Airlines between 1995 and 2001.
In an effort to refresh your memory, and hopefully not dredge up the horror of that day (only the truth) I’d like to remind everyone that two of the planes hijacked on Sept. 11 were United Airline’s planes, the third plane took off from Dulles airport and we all know how the WTC played a part in this, sadly.

Despite the fact that Marvin Bush was a principle shareholder in this firm when most of the major security work for these three clients was designed and implemented he, nor the firm, have been brought before the 9/11 commission. Why? Why hasn’t the White House revealed its connection to the company? In fact paper work documenting this connection is being held from the public and Marvin Bush, as far as I know, refuses to reply to any journalists.

19. marvin is a quick buck

businessman and has a colostomy bag (as per the kitty kelley book". he flies under the radar most probably because of his shady business deals.

the bush family is white trash (except for poppy...say what you will about him there are still vestiges of his northeast brahmin background).

Bush Family Babysitter Killed in Fairfax
Sunday, October 5, 2003; Page C03
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A46190-2003Oct5.html

A babysitter for the family of Marvin Bush was found dead Monday night outside the family's Fairfax County home, and police said that she had been crushed when her car rolled into her, pinning her between the vehicle and an outbuilding on the property.

Fairfax County police said Bertha Champagne, 62, had worked for several years for Marvin Bush, President Bush's brother, and lived at the family home on Fort Hunt Road in the Alexandria section of Fairfax.

Officer Courtney Young, a police spokeswoman, said Champagne had gone outside the house about 9 p.m. Monday, reportedly to retrieve something from her car.

The vehicle had been in gear, police said, and appeared to have rolled in her direction when Champagne was in front of it.

After pinning Champagne, Young said, the car continued rolling toward Fort Hunt Road, near the intersection of Edgehill Drive.
