My Bush Administration/Saudi Links
Edited on Mon Apr-19-04 01:54 PM by bigtree

According to the Boston Herald, in November 2001, "Halliburton was awarded a $140 million contract to develop an oil field in Saudi Arabia by the kingdom's state-owned petroleum firm, Saudi Aramco, and a Halliburton subsidiary, Kellogg Brown & Root, and along with two Japanese firms, was hired by the Saudis to build a $40 million ethylene plant." http://www.thedubyareport.com/bushbin.html

Since 1990, the U.S. government, through the Pentagon's arms export program, has arranged for the delivery of more than $39.6 billion in foreign military sales to Saudi Arabia, and an additional $394 million worth of arms was delivered to the Saudi regime through the State Department's direct commercial sales program during that same period, according to the Federation of American Scientists, Arms Sales Monitoring Project. http://www.fas.org/asmp/about/what%27snew.htm

Science Applications International Corp. an affinity for this administration and their ambitions in Iraq. Based in San Diego, the company had two recent contracts totaling $166 million to upgrade the Royal Saudi Naval Forces' communications and command systems.

SAIC bills itself as the largest employee-owned research and engineering firm in the nation. SAIC takes in over $5.9 billion, reflecting a growth rate of 2 percent over the previous year's revenues of $5.8 billion. About two thirds came from the U.S. Treasury, mostly from the defense budget.

2. More Proof?

My theory may be hazy,
Andf some may think me tetched,
But "Saudis put * in WH"
May not be THAT farfetched!

Folks, we *REALLY* need to check this!
Gratitude may be the reason
That Dubya saved the bin Ladens butts!
And folks... *I* call that TREASON!

The Saudis and bin Laden *knew*
That they would have an easier path
To bomb or hurt us with W.
In office! it's TIME for votors' wrath!

More casualties in Iraq,
The deficit has swollen.
But what my bring * down's the fact,
The election was bought AND stolen!
