There are several posts here that set the record straight . That did not happen
He could be trying to bluff the Admin into releasing something that he DOESN’T have. So if they call his bluff it would come out that he never had any real info.
It would also help him get ratings in the meantime. Hell, WE’RE talking about him.
Win-win for Beck.
I dont think hes bluffing
Rut roh....when was the last time Dick Morris got it right? I like his tenacity to go after libs and I've read a couple of Dick's books...but I wouldn't bet the ranch on anything he *promises*.
Would love for Morris to be right on this one.
That is so off topic and non-sequitur it’s clear you’re way more than half a bubble off of plumb. Have a nice life.
Yes!
Chechens are Sunni, so are Saudis....hmmmmm
Commiserations on the anticipation and then the inflation (pricewise). I’m done with him in any form. By the time I finally pulled the plug on him, it was as if he and his cohost buddies were smoking the big bambu on-air and giggling, making jokes, and not making much sense. They seemed really, really pleased with themselves and I could never figure out why...
Depends on which Saudis we're talking about. Shoebat claims the Saudi 9/11 exodus included at least one prince who was allegedly involved in financing 9/11. The argument is not a truther argument, but a failure of duty argument. If true, the release of a culpable party, whether out of negligence or perceived political expediency, is a failure of the system to serve it's prime directive, to ensure the well being of the American people.
So let's play with your analogy a bit. Shoebat suggests that significant numbers of Saudi royalty are up to their eyeballs in Wahhabism, the Islamic fundamentalist ideology that drove the 9/11 attackers. So lets it's NY, during WWII, and Uncle Woofie is not just a German, but a known Nazi symathizer. While many Germans are fine people, we know that Nazism is bad. So Uncle Woofie blows up NY. Do we rush his relatives back to Germany? Even the professing Nazis? With like a two minute interview at the airport, as Shoebat alleges? Wouldn't that be criminally negligent at best?
The reason this stuff slides so easily into Truther territory is that you have a lot of rumors, half truths and half stories ....innuendo etc.
I doubt we know what really happened and I can think of a lot of legal reasons for a lot to happen Innuendo from the left is the Saudis were his friends...(more BS)
Bush showed more determination in stopping terrorists, disrupting their networks and carrying out a policy intended to eradicate them It is a substantial record that is good or better record than anyone I can think of...
It lasted 7 years.
The left castigated him because he waited 8 minutes or something like that when he was in a Florida class room and received the news on 9 11. This is supposed evidence to them that he wasn’t serious.This BS about the Saudis is in the same vein ...
We heard Bush let it happen and also Bush tortured people.
He was too weak He was a war monger.
I think he got it about right and he surrounded himself with very good people ...If you buy into the lefts anti Bush BS you are lost as far as I am concerned
One only need to read the list of sources at the bottom of anything they post. They get their info by searching Google and cherry picking the sources that best fit their viewpoints. They are trustworthy when determining if a chain letter will really bring you a gazillion dollars from that King in Africa, but I would not trust them for very much else.
This business from Shoebat is not from the left, at all. The only perfect person who ever lived never ran for elected office. So everybody else, you, me, Bush, and Obama, are all on probation. I don’t care who screws up, as long as we can be honest about it when it happens. Using the argument that its a slippery slope to trutherism, or that questioning Bush on his treatment of the Saudis in that specific instance somehow negates all the good things he did, are not rational arguments. They are ways to shut down direct evaluation of the immediate question presented, which in this case is simply whether Bush did the right thing in rushing to airlift Wahhabists out of the country without thoroughly examining them for evidence and possibly culpability. If I can’t ask those questions, how, pray, do I defend my country from all enemies, foreign and domestic, in keeping with my oath?
Exactly! You are wise like Yoda.
So has anyone asked Bush or Cheney and out this episode and if so what did they say...If not why hasnt it been asked ?

This covers it and has more reality than the crap floating around
The three stooges: Glenn, Stu and Pat....Do they know how annoying they are and how much we don’t want to have to listen to their incessant laughing over inside jokes that noone else can follow?
Partisan goggles, fingers in the ears, la la la la la
Okay skippy. Stay inside your nerf world.
Actually, better to go directly to what seems to be the purported source of the website you give, and that is Snopes:
http://www.snopes.com/rumors/flights.asp
The final reports simply find “no evidence” of earlier flights, and only say that many Bin Laden family members were in some way screened by the FBI or local authorities, such family members reported having no recent contact with Bin Laden, etc., and many other passengers weren’t screened. Clearly the path for these Saudis was paved for them to fly out as soon as the earliest flight restrictions were lifted, if not sooner.
