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."

This POS...how much longer will this traitor walk around free....?
If this man had any real power at all he would be extremely dangerous.
Sucking up to the Saudis and the Bin Laden family ...
(scoff)
Cheney should lock and load...
How about adding Jimmah Carter and John Kerry to that list???
This is just great news! Now we get to connect the democrats directly to bin Laden - suits me fine.
The dims continue to step in it and prove they are not capable of protecting America.
If this was Bush it would be ALL over the news , ever paper , ever tv channel , every school kid would be repeating the story tomorrow..
As I recall, the Rats were on Bush's case like flies on you-know-what for allegedly having had dealings with Bin Laden's family. Now, look what Algore's up to. Make you want to scream.
Wow. What an excellent question.
It cracks me up listening to the Rats complain that the president is in bed with oil men and that's why we're at war, etc. But it's the radical leftists who are in bed with the terrorists and their supporters.
And the MSM is busy looking at the accidental shooting in Texas while Algore is being paid by BinLadins realitives. Can we impeach the white house press corps?
So ol' Alibert Gorembubbababa has rich friends in low places? Who woulda thunk it?......other than every rational person in Ameriica.
that would be a blast...er maybe a better anology....
There goes any smidgin of a chance Gore could ever hold office again.
Gimme a T
Gimme an R
Gimme an A
Gimme an I
Gimme a T
Gimme an O
Gimme an R
What does that spell?
TRAITOR, TRAITOR, TRAITOR!
Just a little "Community Outreach" (remember that ?) -- hey, a rats gotta EAT!
This is appalling, but it is becoming Algore as usual. I've become convinced that Algore is the puppet and the mastermind Karl Rove is the puppeteer, for how else would Algore decide to annihilate his own credibility once and for all? But then I realize that the MSM will allow Algore to get away with any lunacy with barely any notice, so perhaps this really is the present and future of the Demagogic Party.
Well if we're gonna do that..... let's include Dean, Pelosi, Rangel, Kennedy, Sen Shrilliness, Bubba, the Revvvveeerrrand JesssssE JaaaackSON, Sinduh She****, 2/3s of Hollyweird, 2/3s of the lame Stream Press, 95% of the Berkley University Faculty, and the entire city Council of Ithica.... there that's a nice start.
We should certainly demand their resignation!
I'm sorry, but the MSM is a LITTLE too busy for this irritating situation/potential bomb. They are on a Cheney resigning death watch. Please give them this moment of quiet reflection.
We've become immune (almost) to just how mentally unstable Al Gore is. Now we know why Tipper Gore made mental health issues HER primary focus.
