Why is Bush protecting Saudi Terrorists?

[niceypoo]

Is it because of his family ties to the Bin Laden family? Is it because they have cheap oil and he and his cronies make money from them? Why doesnt ASScroft go after Bush and hold him as an enemy combatant? If you or I protected people who sheltered terrorist backers what would happen to us?

[dragonquest8]

1. because he, too, is a terrorist.

He has been terrorizing so many innocent people...

2. Follow the money.

Bush, his family, and family friends have much to gain by maintaining close personal ties with the Saudi Royal family.

4. Because the BFEE is kissy-kissy with the bin Ladens and Saudi royals

and that's the long and the short of it.

5. Misguided concern?

I thought a lot about this overnight, after the leak of the censored 9/11 report.

Remember the 1970s, when the Saudis had us over a freakin' oil barrel. Gas lines, rationing, odd/even, and all that stuff. The Saudis may not wield as much power now, but it's still substantial.

And our government knows that. And, perhaps, the mind-set is that the administration knows that, if the Saudis cut off our oil or raised the price to $100/bbl, our economy would quickly go down the absolute crapper, and there would be huge social unrest.

The administration's response? Bend over and kiss Saudi butt however much is necessary to keep that oil coming, at whatever cost, and letting them do whatever they want to us along the way -- including, quite possibly, killing 3,000 people at the WTC.

We see it, quite rightly, as "protecting terrorists." They might see it, however misguidedly, as "saving America."

If ever there were a war crimes trial, you can bet your bottom dollar that this would be the BFEE's line of defense.

6. Here's a clue

You dig?

7. THE CIA LIhop

See after 9/11 instead of Bush resigning, which he should have done his people said lets make all incompetents heroes, and label all the liberals anti-American.

The Bush way of government is not a democracy it's a plutocracy, run by the few wealthy. The only thing the Republicans know how to well is start Wars. Wars make money for them. The CIA long before you or I were born was created to help democratic ways of government. But rather then helping Democratric leaders, the CIA became a political tool to control the world economy and have power in world politics.

So their(the republican) Military Industrial complex went into meltdown after the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union. The Republicans had no enemy in the cold war so they manufactured enemies via the CIA.

The Taliban were created by the CIA and the Republican administrations that controlled the CIA. After Kennedy was shot, the Republicans cashed in on peoples fears and have had control for the past 40 years. Carter was a wimp; Clinton was nothing but a Republican Democrat.

They are protecting the Saudis because the US government run by the Republicans is under contract with the Saudis to protect the Saudis oil monopoly around the world. Bush simply wants to control the price of oil on the market so that the Republicans via the military can make money in the stock market on insider trading when oil stocks sell.

10. Don't forget the Bush Administration's express visas for Saudis

which continued even after 9/11. This privilege to enter the U.S. was offered exclusively to Saudis.

11. Needs Iraq (falsely) blamed for 9/11.

If people find out that 15 of 19 hijackers were Saudi, none Iraqi, and that some of the Saudis bankrolled the 9/11 operation, another of Bush's reasons for invading Iraq vanishes. Bush took us to war on a lie. Hiding the Saudi connection is something he has to do to perpetuate the lie.

Other reasons include the fact that he, Cheney, and the Saudis are all oil folks going way back.

[NNN0LHI]

12. Because its not just the Saudis who were involved. Other countries are too

That is my guess.

13. Like...um...Pakistan...

...that's my theory as well. Clear ties from both House of Saud and Pakistani ISI to the S11 terrorists, and Bush giving free ride to both because they are our "allies" (financiers, tools of the CIA, whatever). Pakistan is also responsible for nuke info to both NKorea and Iran, but shhh, we don't want to talk about that. And Pakistan may have flown Ossama out of Tora Bora while we sat by and waved, but shhhh, we don't want to talk about that either...

14. He's actually protecting himself and the Bush family

They're deeply involved with the Saudis and don't want that widely known.

If people start digging around too much regarding the Saudis, they'll find out about all the Bush connections, investments, shared ownerships, etc.
