Saudis Pledge Up to $20 Million for Clinton Library
NEWSMAX ^ | 3/30/02 | Limbacher

Disgraced ex-president Bill Clinton, whose disdain for national security over the last eight years is widely believed to have rendered the U.S. vulnerable to last fall's terrorist attacks, is set to collect millions of dollars from Saudi Arabia, home to fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers.

Estimates of Clinton's expected Saudi jackpot range from "less than $1 million to $20 million," according to columnist Robert Novak, who cites high-ranking members of the Saudi royal family as the source for the information.

In addition to the hijackers, al Qaeda terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden is a Saudi national, and most of his family now live in the country.

Ostensibly U.S. allies, Saudi leaders have refused to allow American pilots to use U.S.-built airbases in the country to fight the war on terrorism, and have been described as uncooperative in 9/11 related investigations.

On Thursday Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah planted a kiss on the cheek of a top Iraqi official during a Mideast Arab summit, in a move widely seen as a slap against the Bush administration, which has identified Iraq as a member of the "Axis of Evil."

Clinton's Saudi windfall comes in the form of a pledge to his presidential library foundation in Little Rock, Ark. A library spokesman would neither confirm nor deny the donation.

Former senior Clinton advisor Dick Morris has described the library donor account as a "slush fund" which the former first family will divert to their own personal use.

The ex-president was also paid a $750,000 speaking fee when he traveled to Saudi Arabia three months ago, Novak said.

The Saudi pledge follows what Novak describes as "a similar gift to the elder George Bush's presidential library." The Bush library lists the Saudi contribution among "gifts of $1 million and above." The donor is identified as the family of the Saudi ambassador to the U.S., Prince Bandar bin Sultan.

Novak did not say whether the Bush donation was accepted before or after Sept. 11.

I was going to ask what return the Saudis might be expecting from Mr. Bill. You suggest seditious speeches-- wouldn't put it past that %#@%!. (He'd do that for a lot less than 20 mill.) Anything else?

Hmmm. I wonder what Bubba has on those guys? I guess he and Hillary must have stolen a few "Saudi Arabia Security Files" along with the silverware when they left the White House...

If we could track all of the money from the OPECKER Princes from the 1970's to their hand puppets like the Clintoon, Da$$hole, Boxer, Chifi, Fascist Davis directly or indirectly from the enviral organizations it would make real clear why we are so dependent on OPECKER Oil.

The Saudis are paying the Clintoon back for allowing them to groom, finance and train OBL and his al Qeada murdering thugs. During this time the Clintoon made sure that nothing would happen to OBL when he bombed our embassies and the USS Cole. Then Clintoon, in America, deballed the FBI/Cia and INS to insure that al Qeada and al Fuqra would have no problem coming to our shores to mass murder Americans.

Since the Clintoon took over in 1992, our dependence on OPECKER oil has increased as the RATs controlled by the envirals have limited/banned drilling for the untapped oil in places like ANWR!

Clintoon, Da$$hole, ChiFi, Boxer, Leaky Leahy, Davis and other Rats are the modern day Judases. Except they got a lot more than 40 pieces of silver for selling out America/Americans.

Clinton and the Saudi Royal Family have a lot in common. They are disssemblers, party boys, and they love to humiliate women.

Since I'm not a Rat voter, the question does not apply to me.

However, I'm sure that the hard core Rat voter, the ones who hate America/Americans on a 24/7 basis, have zero problem with their leaders supporting treason.

They are truly an odd group. They can only exist in America where the conservatives and moderates are highly taxed to pay for their perverted life styles and hatred of America.

Wait a minute the American Soldier can't wear his Cross- who was fighting for the protection of their oil fields etc. Because we are the Infidels

Yet, the biggest pervert our nation has is getting 20 million for the Clinton Library.

We declare war on the WTC attackers, yet Powell tells Israel to chill.

What’s wrong with this picture?
Is there not a White Elephant in the room?

To me Powell, Clinton, Islam, and the Democrats are the Infidels

Is this a typo? The Bush donation was made in the early 90's.

What a joke. Aside from the obvious previous comments, hardly anyone is going to come and visit this Library in Little Rock, trust me, I live here.

It would really be slumming it for Clinton to come back home.
