My own reading of the situation is that V.P. George H. W. Bush and Oliver North conducted a cocain-smuggling operation in order to raise money to fund the Contras, who were defunded by an act of a Democratic congress who preferred having a Communist regime in Nicaragua. Noriega was also involved. It was probably a grievous mistake, but their reasons, at least, were patriotic. It was the only way they could come up with to continue their war against a Communist takeover of Latin America that was threatened by Castro and the Sandinistas, absent congressional funding. Ronald Reagan doubtless gave his approval but was not directly involved.
Bill Clinton, governor of Arkansas at the time, took a rakeoff and supervised the operation locally. He seems to have been behind the killing of the boys on the railroad track. It has also been said that $100,000,000 in drug smuggling money disappeared, and that clinton probably was the guy who took it.
Tyson was also heavily involved in smuggling operations at the time, possibly in connection with Mena.
Finally, I don't think George W. Bush is the same as George H. W. Bush. At least I hope not, and so far I have been encouraged by his actions.

Web Hubble's father-in-law and his parko-meter company supplied weapons parts. The Arkansas Developement and Finance Administration set up by Clinton, Lasiter and others, laundered the money. All of the land deals. The flights to Angel Fire. The actual cocaine use and abuse. The sex. The parties. All are these are tied somehow to the "rake-off" by Clinton that you mentioned. His ascendancy to office and his non-removal from office are all tied the the same events mixed with a little blackmail and perhaps....murder.
I almost sound like a native Arky....yikes.
