Bush bro in Dubai 02 telling them to lobby US/visited on BinLadin Const. $
Now this is freaking sick!

snip...

n Saudi Arabia, Bush gave the conferees advice on how to press their case in the United States visa via the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In a speech certain to raise the hackles of supporters of Israel, Bush maintained that the way to change perceptions in the United States about the Israeli-Palestinian question is for the Arab countries to expand their political lobbying. Bush claimed the American public favors Israel because of intense lobbying of U.S. politicians by Israeli supporters.

In his remarks, Bush also called for exploring the roots of terrorism, an idea that might not sit well with brother George. "There could be economic disparities, social unrest or unemployment causing growing dissatisfaction in the region," he said. "But I have been told that the bigger issue is the resolving of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. There was only lip service for ending the conflict, but since Sept. 11 there has been a difference. There seems to be a sense of urgency. The difference is public opinion has shifted. Public opinion shapes public policy dramatically. It's true in the U.S., in this part of the world, and elsewhere."

4 According to Newsweek, Bush's visit to Saudi Arabia was sponsored in part by "the Saudi Binladin Construction Group and Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, the tycoon whose $10 million offer to help the victims of the World Trade Center attacks was rejected last fall by New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani." (Bill Clinton was also in attendance, raking in some $300,000 for his address. Newsweek also reported Clinton earned an additional $475,000 for speeches in Dubai and Cairo.)

4. That's one of the motivators
The Bush Cabal has little regard for anyone who is not one of them and that excludes about 99% of the planet.

6. Good question. I don't think I want to know.
Or at least not today. Maybe tomorrow.

I will say this -- Clinton isn't nearly as good as we all thought he was (and never has been).

7. Yep - I used to defend him for closing the books on BCCI - now I suspect
he was compromised. He never even MENTIONED the word BCCI in his book, even though it was the constant bad headlines from IranContra and BCCI that enabled Clinton to defeat a president Americans were finding untrustworthy because of those scandals.

8. Because he's spying on them so they don't leak too much to the enemy?
