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."

Al Gore failed the judgement test when he proudly proclaimed Clinton to be one of our greatest presidents in the Rose Garden on the day that the House of Representatives Impeached Bubba.
Now isn't that special?
Just what I was thinking, mystery. Have the VP invite this guy on a huntin trip.....
ROFLOL!
What are the terms to renounce one's citizenship or to have it revoked?
Let's focus on the treasonous words that albore spoke to the Saudi audience.
Ouch, I'll bet AlGore's pooch is walking funny.
Copy the article and paste it into an e-mail and send to your friends and ask THEM to send it around. That's what I just did.
Time to Drudge it up and see what happens.
So now we know WHY Al Gore would "never have invaded Iraq."
His words were bad enough. To have the event funded by OBL's family just adds fuel to the fire.
Probably because they know he'll say what they want to hear.

Apparently UOx42 has already received money from this group. What part of it has been used to fund Hitlery's Senate career (since by '02 she was already in the Senate)? Why has her husband been accepting funds from a known terrorist's family? What does the bin Laden family hope to gain by Hitlery's political ascent?
I hope this will be brought out during the next presidential campaign.
With the amount of $$ the bin Ladin's have, I'm sure they fund a great many things in the Arab world and for Arab media.
I'm not defending them, just pointing out it's really not that surprising.
They are big Wahabi funders/supporters I believe. So the Saudi tie fits too.
Off topic, I've decided that the Cheney story didn't get told to the WH press corp to in order to provide much entertainment to the American people, by getting to watch the WH press corp get their collective panties bunched up in a twist.
I mean really, I'm just LMAO.
Mr. Prairie mostly is just rolling his eyes, LOL!
"Why is this not HEADLINE NEWS "
Didn't you hear? Cheney shot his friend while hunting. Plus, Britney went bungee jumping with her baby.
My father's generation had it's Jimmuh Carter in the form of Jimmuh himself, and we have ours in the form of that pig AlGore.
Traitorous prick.
You mean, you don't think the VP should resign? LOL
They were like hyenas. And we have to thank the press office for providing much needed entertainment.
You made good points about the bin Laden family. Gore's comments were bad enough. Having him say them to a group in any way associated with OBL is just adding fuel to the fire. He obviously doesn't have the good judgment to be dog catcher; his political career is dead.
Bin Ladens family funded this?I'm shocked(sarc).Sounds like they got their monies worth.
