That would be Bush Sr. the Nazi money funnel?

Shrub's pop was head of the CIA. Kinda like Saddam's rise to power.

How's old Noriega doing? I guess we'll never know what beans he has to spill since his illegal incarceration aka buried alive. His sentence ended in 07 but the US has decided to keep him locked up anyway. Just for kicks.

"Involvement with CIA
Although the relationship did not become contractual until 1967, Noriega worked with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from the late 1950s until 1989, and was on the CIA payroll until February 5, 1988, when the US Drug Enforcement Administration indicted him on federal drug charges.[5][6][7]
The U.S. saw Noriega as a double agent[citation needed] and believed that he gave information not only to the U.S. and U.S. allies Taiwan and Israel, but also to communist Cuba. He also sold weapons to the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua in the late 1970s.[8]
The 1988 Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Narcotics and International Operations concluded that "the saga of Panama's General Manuel Antonio Noriega represents one of the most serious foreign policy failures for the United States. Throughout the 1970s and the 1980s, Noriega was able to manipulate U.S. policy toward his country, while skillfully accumulating near-absolute power in Panama. It is clear that each U.S. government agency which had a relationship with Noriega turned a blind eye to his corruption and drug dealing, even as he was emerging as a key player on behalf of the Medellín Cartel (a member of which was notorious Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar)." Noriega was allowed to establish "the hemisphere's first 'narcokleptocracy'".[9]"
