Americans would be "outraged" if they knew info Bush was hiding to protect his Saudi friends
An LA Times story says that the info that President Bush keeps from the public about 9/11 is "damning" to the Saudi government. The Bush family has long ties and loyalties to the Saudis. Also, military officers protests that Bush actions might harm captured US troops seem to fall on deaf ears.

Read the details ...

1. I'm afraid that Americans only get "outraged" if you cut their cable
or raise the price of gas or their taxes. Other than that, the vast majority of them don't care!

2. Actually I am surprised that the Saudis have anything to do with the
Bushistas, since they have increased the power of the Shites, especially the militant ones, by his destruction of Iraq.

6. The Saudis use political strife to maintain their own dictatership.
The Saudis and Bushes have been doing business together for generations. It's all about profit and power.

3. 75% of the attackers on 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia, yet Bush invades Iraq (0%)
On 9/11, Bush sits and does nothing when told by Card that America was under attack...

Bush arranges for all of Osama's relatives to be flown safely out of US in the day(s) following 9/11. They are not questioned by FBI...

Osama wants US out of Saudi Arabia, so post-9/11 Bush closes all US military bases in Saudi Arabia (guess what? "Terrorism" does work!).

In fact, if you figure in the two 9/11 attackers from UAE, then 17 of the 19 attackers, or 89%, were from countries whoe are either friends and business partners with the Bush Family or Cheney's Halliburton...

Don't tell me it wasn't an "inside job!" :grr:

5. A lot of us have been aware of this for a long time.
I'm glad that the LA Times is running a story on it.

8. The Saudis will learn that if you get in bed with a Bush you end up getting fucked
Edited on Sat Aug-02-08 12:46 PM by bdf
Right now the Saudi royal family think that Bush is their bestest buddy. He invaded Iraq to steal its oil, and he'll probably invade Iran to steal its oil, then invade Kuwait to steal its oil but he'd never invade Saudi Arabia to steal its oil. So they think.

But think about this. It turned out that many of the 9-11 hijackers were using false identities. Several of them stole the identities of real people, who complained about it afterwards. So why were 15 of the 19 hijackers using Saudi Arabian identities? If the whole thing was an inside job to give Dubya 'n' Dick an excuse to invade Iraq, surely it would have been better to use Iraqi false identities rather than Saudi ones.

These guys aren't stupid, and do nothing without a reason. They plan several moves ahead. So the reason those false identities were Saudi is that after Dubya 'n' Dick have invaded every other oil-rich country in the area except for Saudi Arabia they can conveniently remember that 15 hijackers were purportedly Saudis and that's the excuse they need to invade Saudi Arabia.

Like I said in the topic, if you get in bed with a Bush wou will get fucked.

9. And these pages are still classified! Until Jan 20th 2009 anyway
I hope come Jan 20th 2009 President Obama will unclassify these pages protecting Bush's friends in Saudia Arabia. Bush's loyalty to the Saudi royal family over his fellow Americans is pretty sickening.

14. Technically "presidential papers" can be released only after 12 years...
...after the president leaves office.

So, 2016 is when they are scheduled to be released, if ever.

Anyone remember what Pappy did with his papers?

12. "Bush's loyalty to the Saudi royal family ...."
Is it really "loyalty"? I feel that it is more of a long time business partnership with the Bush Crime Family.

13. The entire Bush Crime Family is much more loyal to Saudi Arabia
than it is to this country, Generations of Bushes have bent over to gladly take it in the ass from the Saudis in return for a share of the $$$.
