"Who had meeting with bin Laden & Taliban in Texas?....
Anyone who believes that nonsense is definitely smoking something & is flying higher than a kite.

I know -- reality is difficult to take, especially when it challenges one's worldview.
It was Unocal, for starters. The oil co. with a high sleaze factor.

Taleban in Texas for talks on gas pipeline

Shocking, isn't it?

That doesn't include things like the $43 million sent to our friendly Taliban 4 months before WTC by our current administration.
