And i know in the next hour or so i will receive several posts 'hotly' demanding 'credence' for my assertions in the form of 'proof.'

Not disputing your facts, just your assertion. Why is it that the conspiracy theorists insist on leaping to the conclusion that just because one has business investments/dealings with another that they would automatically be aware of and supportive of everything that the other was doing? That is absurd. Are you (spetz) suggesting that just because the Bush family might have had knowledge of what a member of the bin laden family might have been suspected of plotting would be sufficient reason for recusal from business dealings and investment? Nonsense. These dealings go back before the birth of the black sheep.

If you read my post (# 143) you will notice that i stated clearly SEVERAL times that just because Bush sr was in the same group with the Binladins' that did not imply any wrongdoing whatsoever. Even the C-span post did not say there was any underhanded business.

Thus i did not imply they did anything wrong. I was just providing facts. No commentary whatsoever was added.

"These dealings go back before the birth of the black sheep."

Spoken like it was the Gospel itself.

Again, they go on believing the myth of Osama, the Billionaire Playboy turned Evangelist, the Black Sheep, who left the Family and the Fortune behind to take on Evil America and lead the Jihad.

And I'm the gullible one? Please.

The Feds could never have picked up Koresh jogging. Bush The First never killed Saddam. The Somali Warlord could be found by CNN but not the best military in the world. And Osama Bin-Laden is the black sheep, and can't be found.

Whatever. Next thing you'll tell me the Anthrax attacker was part of the government too.
