Amid Tensions, Saudi Envoy Meets Bush Father, Cheney
Wed Aug 27, 8:34 PM ET Add Politics to My Yahoo!


By Carol Giacomo, Diplomatic Correspondent

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Amid serious strains in U.S.-Saudi relations, the Saudi ambassador to Washington met former President George Bush on Wednesday and will meet Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) on Thursday, U.S. officials said.



The meetings coincide with efforts by Saudi Arabia, long a close U.S. ally and major oil supplier, to halt a slide in relations amid American concerns about links between some Saudis and attacks on the United States.


Prince Bandar bin Sultan had lunch with Bush -- father and close confidant of the current president -- in Kennebunkport, Maine, where the family has long had a vacation home.


Bush spokeswoman Jean Becker confirmed the meeting but said it was private, declining to provide further details. snip

Cheney's spokeswoman Jennifer Millerwise said Bandar would meet the vice president on Thursday in Wyoming. She gave no further details.


so, Under the Patriot Act, both Daddy Bush and Cheney are meeting with terrorists and collaborating with terrorists. Arrest them and make them stand trial under the Patriot Act!

6. Paging Bev Harris ? Time for a media blast ?

What is there to know about these power brokers, and what they may be up to behind the scenes? Isn't it time for the Media to pay a whole lot of frikkin attention? I mean, wake up in the Pressrooms of America. The hour is getting late.

Let's build this thread with some Background links -- and keep it kicked. Sniff, sniff -- smells like a BFEE Summit.

7. Re your measured advice above, bluedog,

include the name William Stamps Farish III, current shrubman at the US embassy in london, and former custodian of Big shrub's assets, (which were placed in a so called blind trust when he became veep and then pres and needed a front man to manage his personal portfolio).
Check out his esteemed geneaological lineage if unsure of his credentials! you can't imagine which us president he's actually the scion of! OK, i'll give you a clue:

he's "descended from Jefferson Davis, the only president of Confederate America, whose grandfather founded the company that became Exxon and who married into the DuPont family"

more stuff on http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=%2Fnews%2F2003%2F04%2F12%2Fwfar12.xml

good old "uncle stamps" has been the bush/blair lynchpin 'in the war against terra'. fortunately, some of us in old blighty have got his number. if you want to check out the bandar/poppy/cheney link, watch the farish space.

9. Good to see somebody take on W.S. Farish 3rd

I posted a long thread about him and his ancestry a few months ago. My link to it no longer works since the software here changed, but here's a summary of what I wrote then:

William Stamps Farish, Sr. (1881-1942), a long-time Bush family friend, was president of Standard Oil in the 1930's. He is best known for having continued doing business with Nazi Germany even after the outbreak of World War II. (Jefferson Davis was his great-great-uncle, not a direct ancestor.)

Farish's wife, Libbie Raden Rice, was related by blood or marriage to a set of wealthy and powerful Houston families. Her father's uncle was the founder of Rice University and her mother's father was the co-founder of the lawfirm of Baker and Botts. (Rice University, Baker and Botts, and a variety of oil interests have always been closely connected -- in recent years, Enron and the Saudi royal family have featured prominently in the mix.)

William Stamps Farish, Jr. (1912-43) married Mary Wood. After he died, George and Barbara Bush were extremely close to Mary and her son, and it was the Farish connection that gave George his start in the Texas oil business. Mary's father, General Robert E. Wood, was the president of Sears, Roebuck and a consistent supporter of extreme right-wing and McCarthyite organizations and causes in the 1940's and 1950's.

William Stamps Farish III (b. 1939) inherited his grandfather's fortune at the age of four. He is both extraordinarily wealthy and extraordinarily secretive. He is said to be George H.W. Bush's "closest friend and confidante." He is also a long-time personal friend of Queen Elizabeth but has been strangely invisible to the British public while serving there as US ambassador.

His wife, Sarah Sharp, is the daughter of another close friend of the elder Bush and also a duPont heiress. Her great-uncles were funders of overtly fascist organizations in the 1930's and were behind the attempted coup against FDR in 1934 (the one foiled when General Smedley Butler refused to play along.)

11. Since when is this type of meeting 'private'?

- It sounds like more of the same: secret negotiations between the secretive Bush* government and pliant dictatorships.

[Ouabache]

13. Of course it's a private meeting

on private property.

If they ever met this guy in DC on public property the records of the meeting could fall under FOIA guidelines.

If it's all 'private' it never falls on the public radar screen the way four airliners did on 911.

I have had a problem with all these 'ranch' meetings before this.
It has to do with their unprecedented secrecy in governing.

How many times has Bandar met with them on private property vs. how many times has he met with them in DC? (in the last 3 years)

I would like to know that.

18. Just remove the letter 'i' from your adjectival definition

of dictatorships, and you got the answer. gives a whole new meaning to the term 'alien implants'.........

4. Summit of the String-pullers

If BANDAR wants to get something done, why would he go to Shrub?

[bluedog]

8. could have something

too do with the Air Force base closing and pulling out of saudi arabia.....also must not forget his wife was being(i bet)questioned about her donations to charities, ala terrorist groups....what was the out come of that?

5. The Devil's Triangle.

Bush, Cheney & Bandar. (Though I would substitute Jim Baker for Bush)

[eek]

10. bandar bush

he's us ambassador to SA.
he's married to princess haifa - indeed the gal who supported 2 of the hijackers with tuition money, housing etc.
And lordie knows how many more!
Her dad is SA royalty.

Bandar has been thisclose to the BFEE for yonks. That's why he's called bandar bush - he's like a brother to them!

Easy enough to find stories and pictures of him cavorting with the bushies in Kennebunk, Compound W and on and on.

here's a handy link for ya; it will take you to Maureen Dowd's excellent column on the SA/BFEE ties then link you through to some other lucid information (just check out the hunting party guestlist at bandar's VA estate!)

14. wasn't poppy meeting with saudis

on 9/10/01 ???

[Old and In the Way]

15. No, he was meeting with the Carlyle Group in Washington......

he did overnight at the WH on 9/10, though.....just another of those odd coincidences, mind you.

I wonder if James Baker was in Kennebunk for the meetings....maybe they were going over the dense strategy to thwart the multi-billion lawsuit that the victims' families of 9/11 have filed...and James Baker is defending the Saudi's against.

Unbelievable...

[bluedog]

16. something is going on

no one is going to tell me its just a frienly visit....i don't believe a word this government says and theres alot of people like me around.....

[KoKo]

17. Not a good sign.....Shrub bringing in Poppy 'cause he's so tired of this..

"Oh, Poppy......I'm so tired of all this work you're making me do.....please, please, .......just deal with that Bandar guy...and make it all better.....cause I'm so tired....Laura is tired.....my kids want to drink.....they are sick of this....just make me Baseball Commissh.....and I'll move on.......

Oh.......why did you make me do this....I hate this job......please.....please.....let me get out of it...I hate it...too much work......and folks are starting to know about that "bratwurst" thingy you asked me to stuff in my "Flight Suit."

Poppy.....let me go! Free me from this President Stuff nightmare!! pleeze..........
