Documents track Bush's oil investments
"The Harken documents released under FOIA detail Bush's knowledge of the company's problems.

As a Harken director, he received memos in spring 1990 that referred in stark terms to the company's cash-strapped condition as banks demanded it pay down its debts. One document said the company was in the midst of a "liquidity crisis" and another told Bush the company was "in a state of noncompliance" with its lenders.

Bush also was informed that a company plan to make a public stock offering to generate cash was being abandoned because one of its lenders objected.

"On the eve of filing this offering, the Bank of Boston refused to grant waivers and consents necessary to allow the offering to proceed," Harken said in a letter to the SEC in 1991. "Bank of Boston refused to alter its position and instead made demands that it be removed from the company's credit." The company solved the crisis when two of its biggest stockholders loaned it the $43 million it needed.

Bush served on three committees inside the company and also was paid as a consultant.

Even after his stock sale, Bush remained on the company's board of directors until 1993.

The SEC investigators never interviewed Bush about what else he might have known about the company's financial situation before selling the stock."

Which information? What facts? Which article? What point? This thread is FULL of articles, some of which are posted twice. Unca Bull doesn't want discussion, he wants to post an anthology of anti-Bush articles. I think he should get permission from the site owner, first.

'If you have articles with facts to dispute this information'

WorldNetDaily and Insight are hardly places where you find reliable information.

Strangely enough, they were considered pretty reliable when they chronicled Clinton corruption.

By who? Insight has never been considered reliable and WND has been out of touch with reality for well over 2 years.

If you can't dispute the facts, throw out a bunch of insults. I see they are busy at it. Guess the pictures for "A Day in the Life of" aren't ready for posting yet :)
