2. the fundamentalists exploding from the bottom is what we have
to worry about...

Talking about the Carlyle Group in the Q&A---$2 million invested in it by the BinLaden Group... By 97 there was a Bin Laden desk....Carlyle Group were too connected to not know that it was bad for a company to have a link to them....they're just interested in the money...and Bushco...no more craven than past Administrations, but the relationship post-911 is what's bothering him....Bush Admin. should be behaving differently toward Saudi's/BinLadens...business as usual, with his connection to oil, he should have been MORE careful.....

4. lee harvey also murdered jfk
all by his little ole self! for no reason anyone could think of! posner insists lee did it, though lee was obviously an agent of 'naval intelligence' or something (oswald 'defected' to the soviet union after completeing his military service...then he 'undefected' back to the US...he hung around with characters like guy bannister and david ferrie in new orleans, was part of a 'fair play for cuba' committee (with one member, ie lee harvey oswald himself)...you can read stuff about lee harvey all day long, stuff that doesn't make sense when you consider oswald was just 24 years old and had spent his entire adult life either in the military or doing things that would get a normal citizen kidnapped by the fbi....oswald's fbi agent number was published by the warren commission; yet gerald posner insists, with a certainty only a cia stooge could possess that lee harvey murdered jfk (a house committe investigation has stated outright that more then one shooter involved in the murder)...
gerald posner knows stuff, and he's just a humbugger concerning anything at all he says unless he explains who put him up to lying about the jfk assasination, and why he agreed to do so ($?)

5. Also see this thread
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3947655

Posner's only in for the money. His conclusion is rather obvious, that Saudi oil controls the US. Don't need his book to tell me that.

Rather, read Amory Lovin's Winning the Oil End Game instead and get some course of action that will result in LESS Saudi oil influence.
