The Curious Bush/Bin Laden Symbiosis
http://www.consortiumnews.com/2011/050711.html

By Robert Parry (A Special Report)
May 7, 2011

Since Osama bin Laden’s killing on May 1, it has become shockingly clear that the terrorist leader did not spend most of the last decade on the run or hiding in caves. He was holed up in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad enjoying the comforts of family life with his twenty-something-year-old latest wife.

And, while criticism has fallen on Pakistani authorities for being either complicit or incompetent, almost no attention has focused on the curious symbiotic relationship that has existed since 9/11 between Osama bin Laden and George W. Bush – and even longer between the bin Laden family and the Bush family.

At nearly every turn, President George W. Bush acted – presumably with incompetence, not complicity – in ways that enabled bin Laden to remain free, and the terrorist leader repaid the favor by surfacing at key political moments to scare the American people back into Bush’s arms.

3. Bush PAID MUSHARRAF NORTH OF $10 BILLION. And yet, complicity is somehow NOT the story.
It makes you want to puke.

10. Obama got Osama, and he also got all the digital dirt he had stored.
My money says that there are a lot of trails that lead directly to the US taxpayer cash cow and bush regime complicity.

11. I just got "Family of Secrets" today and I think Russ Baker addresses
that link. Several here have already read it, I'd be interested to hear from them.
OBL was still in hiding -- it's not as though he was living a carefree life. The reported said he hadn't ventured out of the compound in years. He was definitely in hiding. Maybe not from the Pakistani government, but from someone -- maybe Obama?
