How Much Did bin Laden Give the US Chamber of Commerce?
Wellll..they admit they take foreign money and I'll betcha' they don't ask the foreign goodies rolling in where they got the money...and al Quaeda has had a great deal of financial backing over the years. Soooooo, how can the Chamber assure us that somewhere in those little bundles of love being sent into this country there is NO terrorist money? There's more than one way to take down a government.....and republicans have been working for years to dismantle the government. Is it too much to ask if a little, old citizen like me (as I keep looking under my bed for terrorists) to ask the Chamber to open up all their books and assure me that they aren't going to let one hair on my head get harmed.

4. NewJeff---Bingo
That's exactly what I had in mind. The friends of the Bush clan are always suspect in my mind and bin Laden is one of the Saudi clan.

8. I always said we should have treated 9/11 as an attack by the Saudis.
We should have told them, one more Saudi kills an American and we flatten your ass! Also that we want Bin Ladin, dead or alive, and left it up to them to handle.
we'd see what George Bush's "companion" in the pic would do to keep his extravagant lifestyle.

3. IMO that's exactly what all this secrecy is about
Not sure about bin Laden per se but there has to be a lot of money coming in from the kingdom of Saudi Arabia where many of the ruling class have ties to the bin Laden family.

Don't understand why the Dems don't plant that little seed of doubt in the mind of the Islamophobes among us. Don't need proof, innuendo works just as well. Some enterprising independent reporter (there are still a few left) will dig it all up if it's there.

When this all comes out, there are going to be some people who are afraid to show their faces in public and I predict a run on torches, pitchforks, chicken feathers and tar.

I wouldn't want to be karl rove or the president of the C of C when the truth becomes apparent to the dum dums.

5. Are you aware that the Bin Ladens own one of the world's largest construction companies?

How do you think Osama became a terrorist leader? After we abandoned Afghanistan, he stayed and built a few roads and schools to help the people the Russians slaughtered and became a hero. Who do you think most of the Saudis that were spirited out of the U.S. immediately following the 9/11 attacks were?

6. Greyhound--that's what I mean
All donations from afar are suspect BUT in the case of the Saudis, we have no idea which pieces and parts of the clan are donating and like I said, I'll bet the C of C is just taking and not asking things like "seen your cousin lately"?
