Somebody please call this in to Franken -
The Bin Laden family was in the US at the time of 9/11. This administration has admitted this, and also has admitted that the bin Laden family was on the first flight out of the country after the ban was lifted (or earlier; this is when they will admit to it).

If Al-Qaeda, Terrorism, and bin Laden were a high priority for the Bush misadministration, then ask this to Al Franken (I can't, I'm at work):

WHY THE FECK WAS THE BIN LADEN FAMILY ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTRY PRE 9/11 IF BUSH WAS TAKING THE TERROR THREAT SERIOUSLY? AND THEY WERE STAYING AT A PLACE WHERE BUSH KNEW WHERE THEY WERE?

Don't even bother about why they were flown out of the US, why the feck were they here in the first place, and not being questioned about their terrorist son?????

3. The Carlyle Group had a meeting on 9/11/2001 too.
Maybe that's why the bin-Laden's were here:shrug:

4. They were business partners of the Bush's and the US government.
They were investors in the Carlyle Group, which is the US governments #11 defense contractor. It was only the one bad sheep, who, by the way, was trained and paid by the CIA.

Here's an interesting coincidence: the night before Reagan was shot, Bush Sr. was having dinner with the shooter's father - a close friend of Bushes. The day or or the day before 9-11, Bush Sr. was at a meeting of the Carlyle Group with Osama's father. Another good friend of the Bushes. Amazing coincidence, huh?

5. The one black sheep theory
Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 01:49 PM by suegeo
One thing I never understood about the theory that OBL was the family black sheep, and that the family disowned him...

Well, according to who? Who told us OBL was the black sheep, and why did we believe them?

I am suppose to take the word of some "family member" (don't even know their name) that they have disowned their son?!?!

I DON'T KNOW THESE PEOPLE! Why should I take their word for it?

7. Black Sheep & history repeating itself... What about John Hinckley?
I hear the Bushies were tight with the Hinkleys, too.

6. Don't you think you guys
are being a little intolerant? I mean, a lot of these people lived in Boston and had lived there for a long time. You really think that horrible terrorists who think that America is the Great Satan would be living in Boston (and giving a lot of money to western universities at that)? I think you should cut these people a break--it's a huge family, and it's not their fault that they have the same last name as Osama.
