Re: "Tainted by Bin Laden Cash." >>> Hell, Bush was partners with the Bin Laden family in his Texas ballpark... and Cheney -- ex-CEO Halliburton -- had numerous financial dealings with the Bin Ladens over the years, as Caryle Group still does. >>> And, if you are going to impune someone simply for accepting speaking fees (or contributions to a Presidential library :) from a foreign government... then nearly every ex-President (including Bush I), and most of official Washington, have been recipients of Saudi cash over the years. >>> It flowed especially liberally during the Reagan years. Re: "Another speaker at the Jeddah forum was first brother Neil Bush, but coverage of the event makes no mention of his being paid." >>> No kidding. Re: "While the Saudi royal family had reportedly donated $1 million to former President Bush's presidential library in College Station, Texas, in the early 1990s, there is no report of any Saudi payment to a Bush family member in the period since the 9/11 attacks." >>> There wouldn't be any, would there? Too many Saudi nationals on those hijacked flights. But Caryle is still cleaning up on massive 'no bid' government construction contracts all across central Asia and the Middle East... and quit a few Repub. heavy-weights stand to profit from their share holdings. >>> And, of course, Halliburton will have all those pipelines to build and service... and then their will be years of work (and construction profits) in rebuilding the oil fields of Iraq, etc. >>> Surely you are not surprised by any of this, are you?
