He’s in bed with bin laden! (Score:1)

He’s in bed with bin laden and he is trying to suppress the Sept. 11 Congressional report 28 pages dealing with his complicity. Wasn’t this dunce’s claim that he “would return honor and dignity to the White House”? The only way that will happen is when he goes. Unfortunately, too many weak and defenseless Iraq1s will die, and too many of our fine soldiers will have to suffer in this horrible occupation.
 
In the run-up to the Iraq War we were frequently told that 43’s team had “secret information” but because “sources and methods” could not be exposed, the information could not be shared.  That was just another lie, as “sources and methods” certainly could be exposed when 43 had a fit of pique.
 
Two senior Bush administration officials blew the cover of a US intelligence officer working covertly in a field of vital importance to national security. Under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982, it is a crime for anyone who has access to classified information to disclose intentionally information identifying a covert agent. Members of both parties indicated a congressional investigation is likely in this matter.
 
Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), vice chairman of the intelligence panel said a probe is probably necessary and accused the White House of strong-arm tactics aimed at those who question their policies. "To go after him [Wilson] is one thing, but to go after his wife is another thing," he said. Both are reprehensible.
 
He has to take the responsibility for his administration’s evil destruction of a covert agent’s networks-—a euphemism for people’s lives, that 43’s team has destroyed.
 
The Sept. 11 attacks were preventable, a Congressional report released on July 24th 2003 says. The report redacted 28 pages relating to Saudi Arabia.
 
How he plays around with “sources and methods”. To cover-up his connection with Saudi Arabia Bush said that "declassification of that part of a 900-page document would reveal sources and methods that would make it harder for us to win the war on terror."
 
He won’t let us see this even though Saudi officials sought the release of the still-classified section of the report, which was denounced today by the Saudi foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, as an "outrage" that "wrongly and morbidly" accused Saudi Arabia of complicity in the attacks.
 
Invoking the provisions of a seldom-used Senate resolution, Bob Graham said he asked the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, Senator Pat Roberts, Republican of Kansas, and the top Democrat on the committee, Senator John D. Rockefeller IV, to start a process that permits the declassification of information if the Senate voted to release it — even over the objections of the administration.
 
I’d hate to be anyone in the U.S. who had any relations with Saudi Arabians. Guess who has such a relationship, not only with peripheral Saudis but with one who is bin laden’s brother in law, as well as bagman?
 
In the January 31, 2003 article, “Global Eye -- Kean Insight” by Chris Floyd, he wrote about retired New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean and 43 sharing an unsavory business partner. Floyd, quoting another source, wrote, “Fortune Magazine reports this week that both Kean and Bush share an unusually well-placed business partner: one  Khalid bin Mahfouz -- perhaps better known as "Osama bin Laden's bagman" or even "Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law." He continues that, “Kean is a director of Amerada Hess, an oil giant married up to Saudi Arabia's Delta Oil in a venture to pump  black gold in Azerbaijan. (The partnership is naturally incorporated in a secretive offshore "tax haven". One of those cut-outs was Mahfouz factotum James Bath, a partner in Dubya's early oil venture, Arbusto, who has admitted serving as a pass-through for secret Saudi money. It is easy to keep connecting the dots when you see that years later, when Bush's maladroit business skills were about to sink another of his companies, Harken Energy, the firm was saved by a $25 million inves

How do 28 BLANK pages prove Saudi complicity in anything?
Do you people have a secret decoder ring or is it written in special invisible ink that only some people can read?
The only thing that leads people to say these pages concern Saudi Arabia is because somebody said they do. I personally don't believe a damn thing that comes out of the government or the media. If they say it concerns the Saudis then, quite frankly, I believe it doesn't have anything to do with the Saudis.
Chances are greater in my opinion that these pages have information that puts Israel in a bad light in regards and THAT is why they were blanked out. Everyone goes along with helping the misadminstration by jumping on the bandwagon that the BLANK PAGES are concerning Saudi Arabia because the lying US Government or media implies they do.
If these blank pages PROVE Saudi involvement so clearly, why do the Saudis want them released? And why won't the administration release them per the Saudi requests?
National Security my eye, more like Bush/Israeli cover their asses.
