change "form" to "from".

Miss Marple,good morning!

Arne Fufkin, I dont think I know you, yet.

The Bush Fanily-Big-Oil-Saudi-Big-Business trail has quite a footprint right here in the FR Archives.

Long before I came here,FR was posting happily away on BCCI,Bin Mahfouz,Al-Amoudi,Bath,Harken,Arbusto,etc.

Unless they have been yanked off, just type in any of the names, and you'll find the $$$$$.

The 9/11 intelligence investigation going on in Congress right now will dredge up all these relationships.

Bring on the hearings!

See what you think about my questions on this matter, concurrent with the above article --- Another Look at East Coast Air Defense

[mewzilla]

Wasn't the guy who nixed the Moussaoui requests named Frasca? Is/was he in charge of the UBL unit?

[wheezer]

The reason I ask is because I'm starting to wonder if al Caeda might not have one or more on the payroll.

Peggy Noonan recently wrote am article where she wonders the exact same thing.

Also, do not forget that Louie Freeh got his @ss out of Washington a convenient 10 days prior to 9-11.

Clinton was too busy making OBL and the Muslim ragheads our allies in Bosnia.

From Wallaby's "Bush Friends" thread in March, 2000------

"Texas governor George W. Bush's campaign to become the Republican candidate in this November's presidential ballot could shortly run into turbulence because of new information about his past. Indeed, among the figures Bush dealt with indirectly when he ran oil companies was Saudi banker Khaled Bin Mahfouz who, Intelligence Newsletter has learned, is currently under house arrest in a hospital in Taef at the behest of the American authorities. The latter are looking into contributions Mahfouz is said to have made to welfare associations close to terrorist Ussama Bin Laden. Considered as the "king's treasurer," Mahfouz was recently forced to sharply reduce his stake in the National Commercial Bank, one of the biggest in the kingdom. Many in Arab financial circles see this as a harbinger of his disgrace. Mahfouz's name was linked to the scandal involving the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), in which he held a 20% interest between 1986-1990. The BCCI was accused in senator John- Kerry's report of money-laundering and of financing terrorist groups and covert spy operations before it was wound up on July 5, 1991, with a $ 12 billion loss to its customers. Mahfouz was also linked to a case involving fake passports in Ireland in 1997 that forced Irish foreign minister Ray Burke to resign."

[mewzilla]

Wow. You're right. I hadn't realized that. Incerdible timing, wasn't it?

[ArneFufkin]

Why did you pose that possibility if you don't have evidence? Your little channel insinuates that the George W. Bush, or his family, were bribed to pave the path for Islamic terrorists to attack our country and murder 3000 of our innocent civilians. You suggest that is a plausible scenario?

[anniegetyourgun]

"Assistant Attorney General Michael Chertoff, head of the Justice Department's criminal division, cited nearly a decade's worth of hints that foreign terrorists were targeting Americans."

While I think Chertoff is one of the very smart guys in the administration, this is hardly news. This fascination with looking back by our anally retentive media is going to blow up on their boy-president, Bill Clinton. We have arrived at this place because of his incompetence, his self-indulging ego, and the nincompoops he surrounded himself with.

[ArneFufkin]

Why don't you try to keep your focus near 9/11/2001, ok? I knew what Betty Jo was doing. Now here's your opening to dig up BCCI stuff from 1986 ... it's a Bush smearathon and now you delinquents are in position to vandalize the thread.

[wheezer]

Incerdible timing, wasn't it?

Maybe a bit too incredible?

[rdavis84]

Sounds Paranoid to me. Betty Jo and me cookin' up a Smearathon on Bush? NEVER Happen.

[ArneFufkin]

Dishonorable louts.

[ballplayer]

Does anyone now doubt that a missle brought down flight 800. On fox news yesterday former director of the cia Woolsey said it.

[rebapiper]

And all made possible by non other than the Clinton's and their sleezzzzzbag communist party the D Rats. Rick Lazio EXPOSED Hillary Clinton for her terrorist ties, her fund raising events with the very groups that were funding the terrorists. Lazio and his family were getting death threats. Where was the FBI and just who were the FBI protecting? Hillary and her terrorist friends. What about country first? IF THE FBI ACTED ON INFORMATION ABOUT HILLARY, HANDCUFFED HER AND TOOK HER IN FOR QUESTIONING PERHAPS 9/11 WOULD NOT OF HAPPENED. The terrorist groups were not giving Hitlary money for no reason. The terrorist groups needed Hitlary in office for some reason, they needed her bad enought that they would send out death threats to anyone that would run against her or expose her. The New York times never misses a Clinton Stink, so why didn't the NY times expose Hitlary instead of pushing for her to take over the New York Senate seat. A power grab for the Senate and anything goes. A phony New York residency, a campaign funded by terrorists and the death of an intern. Washington Police will solve the Chandra Levy case like the Mary Mahony case. One big cover up. The Republicans do have the Majority, if they would only get up enough guts to remove the corruption from our government. Hillary's phony NY ID doesn't make her a New York resident any more then the phony ID's the terrorist had. They taught her well. Gephardt is no more a Senator than Iam. Her refused to remove Condit from office, our constitution requires him to resign. Them D Rats must remove Trafficant or resign. Daschle's political game of Anthrax. Where are the Republicans, hiding as usual. So what did Hillary know about 9/11 before it happened. What did Gephardt know about Chandra Levy that he used the Homeland Security committe as a sheild for Condit. The Consittution does not say Corruption must be reward as Gephardt did with Condit but to REMOVE the Corruption or resign. Many Democrats are illegally holding on to there seats and the same goes for the Republicans if they do not DEMAND THE REMOVAL of the Corruption from our Government.

[rdavis84]

"Dishonorable louts."

Yes, the FBI and CIA are, aren't they?

[rdavis84]

"Easy as pie: invent a sinister scenario involving the Bush's, invite your party pals over, and then discuss the event as if it is true. That's informed debate!"

You asked for some information about motive and the Bush's. I listed the below as a start point. There's MUCH more if you'll stop with the Paranoia!

BTW, Mueller was doing the BCCI thing for the DOJ then.

[at bay]

Excellent point. Here we now clearly have an individual who has been dishonorable at the very least, and yet Condit sits on the critical Select Intelligence Committee to this day. When my kids ask me "Dad, what did you do before it was discovered that Condit was also a sellout traitor?" I will be able to answer, I sat front row, just feet from his face with as large a sign as I could carry saying "Resign Right Now!" together with a group of citizens that cared enough to not just "Listen and decide." But to act,(lawfully I have to add for my new/old viewing audience, no pc here) before it is too late. Write your Congressman, or better yet, sit in his office until he meets with you personally to answer your questions--Why is Condit still deciding issues of the security of the United Staes? Why hasn't Farcass of the FBI been fired? Was Mueller lying then, (when he said nothing could have been done) or lying now?

[Betty Jo]

I am confused about all that happened in the air that day.

I have a relative in the "operations" of one of the liners.

I have a relative that is an Air Force LT. Col,retired.

I have the whole web available to me, and still I am confused.

I know that I am not flying now, nor did I fly in the past,but my relys sure do.

I want pilots to have guns.

I want our air safe.

[Gritty]

I'm beginning to think there's not much qualitative difference between the FBI and the INS. And while you're at it, throw in the BATF, too....
