Bush hasn't captured Bin Laden because he is an old family friend.
And OBL is just attempting to help out his old family friend, George W.

It's easy to see once you know the family connections have gone back for YEARS.

1. Bingo.
My fiance has been saying all along the Saudis won't let * have OBL. He's a HERO for what he did in Afghanistan, after all.

3. The family of Osama and the family of George W. Bush go waaaay back.
Bin Laden's family gave lots of money to Dubya's first big oil business failure. And then forgave the debt.

Poppy and the Bin Ladens have been friends for years too.

2. That's absolutely right, James Bath, Bush's buddy supported Bush's
business with money from Bin Laden's brother.

7. Maybe one day we will find out that OBL and the neocons always
DID have a little side-deal going.

6. That's not true
And that stuff makes centrists think Kerry supporters are kooky.

Stick to the facts and look and the polling trends. That last thing anyone needs is for the Bin Laden family to take center stage.

8. You need to catch up on the FACTS, my friend.
It is ABSOLUTELY TRUE that the Bin Ladens and the Bushes have been family friends for years.

Do some research.

9. The families have been friends for over 30 years.
The Bin Laden family used to visit Texas all the time.

As far as OBL goes, even though he is estranged from the family, he was invited to a wedding a few years back and he attended.

Blood is thicker than water.

* has absolutely no intention of catching OBL bec he doesn't want to piss off the Saudi family. If the Saudi family took there huge cache of $ out of the US, we would have a depression.

12. OBL was estranged
But I guess the tin-foil hats are being given away for free here.

Why didn't President Clinton get OBL then? Is he part of this conspiracy too? Come on. Saudi ties, yes. Conflict of interest? Yes. OBL harborer? No.

13. This is no secret.
The Bush's and the Bin Laden's have been friends for years. I've read this in Newsweek. They wouldn't make this stuff up. It's a well-known fact.

Now, I also believe that the Bin Laden family supports Usama. I know they've come out publicly and denounced him as the "Black Sheep" of the family. But the fact is that several siblings (he's got 52, for god's sake) have helped Usama with this and that.

Blood is thicker than oil..

11. We are absoulutey MAD!
IT's what keeps us from going insane. Our reality is so manufactured, that if you really believe what you are being told then you are off in Wonderland.

Their family IS grealty connected. OSAMA is still alive. Maybe that's too easy, but don't tell me that if the world's best military on earth couldn't catch this guy in three years? NAH-they looked in Iraq, I guess. Well, he wasn't there, no matter what Cheney says.
