bin Laden family values

<snip>, Bin Laden’s brother Salem crashed a plane in San Antonio, Texas, and died on impact. Although Salem did not see much of Osama, because Salem was running the family business and was far more fun-loving and westernised than his austere younger half-brother, his death was a blow to Osama.

A Bin Laden relative: If Salem had still been around, nobody would be writing books about Osama Bin Laden. Salem had a volcanic temper and no problem about rocking the boat. He would have personally flown to Sudan {where Osama lived in the mid-1990s}. Salem would have grabbed Osama by the lapels and taken him back to Saudi Arabia.

Bin Laden left Afghanistan for Sudan after having helped to drive out the Russians. His family socialised with that of Hassan Turabi, the de facto leader of Sudan. Wisal al Turabi, Hassan’s wife:


I mean he certainly didn't come to Texas just to fly. What was the business he was there for and with whom? Has anyone ever asked this question?

well known. I don't have a link handy, but I'm sure someone will help you out here.

I'm not saying he was visiting the Bushes on that exact visit, but seriously they are old family friends. This obviously doesn't get the press it deserves.

in one of bin boy`s tapes to the west he mentions the problem with being betrayed by the westernern`s..business and political betrayal

Texas is a nice place to visit because the hotel pools can very soothing.

Maybe he liked Tex Mex.:)

The oil company of George W Bush, present dictator of America?

What was Poppy Bush doing meeting with the members of bin Laden's family on 9/11/2001? This, well after it was established that bin Laden had his fingers all over the USS Cole bombing, which Bush decided to pull investigators off to investigate . . . missing W keys . . .

Bush & Bin Laden - George W. Bush Had Ties to Billionaire bin Laden Brood

The unexplained death of Salem, Osama bin Laden's oldest brother, in 1988, brought to an abrupt end a long and intriguing relationship between President Bush and the head of the bin Laden family fortune.

By Roger Miller

The world now associates the bin Laden name with Osama bin Laden, the prime suspect be hind the terror atrocities of Sept. 11. As President George W. Bush leads an intense international manhunt for Osama, few Americans realize that Osama's eldest brother, Salem, was one of Bush's first business partners.

Osama embraced Islamic fundamentalism and is now the world's most wanted man. "Salem went on to become a business partner of the man who is leading the hunt for his brother," the Daily Mail's Peter Allen said. "In the 1970s, he and George W. Bush were founders of the Arbusto Energy oil company in Mr. Bush's home state of Texas."

President Bush and the bin Laden family have been connected through dubious business deals since 1977, when Salem, the head of the bin Laden family business, one of the biggest construction companies in the world, invested in Bush's start-up oil company, Arbusto Energy, Inc.

James R. Bath, a friend and neighbor, was used to funnel money from Osama bin Laden's brother, Salem bin Laden, to set up George W. Bush in the oil business, according to The Wall Street Journal and other reputable sources.

Through a tangled web of Saudi multi-millionaires, Texas oilmen, and the infamous Bank of Credit and Commerce International, Bush was financially linked with the bin Laden family until Salem met an untimely end in a freak flying accident near San Antonio in 1988.

So when does Bush "get" Osama???
