Al Gore Event Funded by Bin Laden's Family
The Saudi Arabia seminar that was addressed by former Vice President Al Gore over the weekend in a speech that criticized the U.S. for being too tough on Arabs was sponsored, in part, by Osama bin Laden's family.
On Saturday, the state-run Saudi news outlet Arab News reported that the Jeddah Economic Forum, where Gore spoke, was funded by "Saudi Arabian Airlines, the Saudi Binladin Group, Gulf One Investment Bank, Saudi Basic Industries Corp." and an array of other big companies with ties to the Middle East.
The Saudi BinLadin Group - which is Saudi Arabia's largest construction company - is run by Osama bin Laden's brothers and cousins. Jeddah, the site of the forum attended by Gore, is Osama bin Laden's hometown.
Although family members claim they've disowned bin Laden, his mother told reporters after the 9/11 attacks that she received advanced warning from him that something big was about to happen.
A wealthy bin Laden niece also reportedly abandoned her lower Manhattan apartment three weeks before the 9/11 attacks.
The BinLadin Group's longtime involvement in the Jeddah forum has been widely reported in the Mideast and European press.
In January 2002, ex-President Clinton addressed the JEF, which paid him $267,000 for his speech. According to London's Financial Times:
"The conference was dominated by the Saudis' desire to overcome the pressures of September 11 and strengthen U.S.-Saudi ties . . . The BinLadin Group, one of the forum's backers, has been battered by its association with Osama."

Because Al will do or say anything for a few pieces of silver....
Clintoons handlers probably KNEW that he could do it and get away with it...and they were proven right..
I don't remember ANY media coverage of his speaking there in Jan. 2002.
"Will someone please revoke that nut-jobs passport and assign him to Bellvue!!!!"
Wrong, someone needs to revoke that nut-job! With extreme prejudice.
I'd rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than ride in a car with Ted Kennedy
Great tag line....immitation is the highest form of flattery
Oh, please let this be true!
This should put the final nail in the short and unremarkable political career of a man (?) not above putting his career above his country.
"Giving aid and comfort to the enemy..."
Scott McClellan needs to start asking "Do we have any other visitors from planet Libtard?" whenever he gets questions like the ones he got this morning.
"It should be clear to everyone that Al Gore is a Republican mole whose job it is to insure the election of Republican presidents.
He almost blew it in 2000, though.
And it's time he read the riot act to the White House Press Corpse too.
Act with dignity or get out of the White House.
This SOB should have his passport revoked.
Send this news by e-mail to GOP. They will love this.
I have many more ideas of what must be done. Of course, the MSM will ignore this. Any so called American that would vote for this POS after hearing this sort of thing should be committed to an insane asylum.
Al Qaeda
But as an American bashing his country he is praised and loved by the moronic media and the lemming liberals.
And they thought that hosting Algore would help? These people really need to seek out the services of a good Neuro-Proctologist!
Ali Gore
He must be a Republican mole!??!
Algore the Insane, who lost his soul over 10,000 tokes ago, should not be allowed back into America ever again, under any circumstances, save for his trial and hanging for various acts of treason, subversion and giving aid/comfort to America's enemies.
