Questions Linger About Bushes and BCCI »

Posted by: gatitabonitasen 2 years, 7 months ago

NEW YORK, Apr 4 (IPS) - Now that the U.S. Congress is investigating the truth of President George W. Bush's statements about the Iraq war, they might look into one of his most startling assertions: that there was a link between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. Critics dismissed that as an invention. They were wrong. There was a link, but not

      and of course moron americans vote for bush because his lemonade tastes better and his cookies have more chocolate chips in them.

      "Two decades ago, the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) was a highly respected financial titan. In 1987, when its subsidiary helped finance a deal involving Texas oilman George W. Bush...Over the next three years, Kerry fought against intense opposition from vested interests at home and abroad, from senior members of his own party; and from the Reagan and Bush administrations, none of whom were eager to see him succeed."

      here's a link to the kerry investigation from 1992. http://www.fas.org/irp/congress/1992_rpt/bcci/

      so in 92 kerry is trying to stop black funding and GWB is benefiting from black funds.

                  The 1st family of crime needs to be investigated fully.

                  Even the minor crimes would send most of us to jail or at least drive us from ever pursuing public office.

                  Dubya; broke insider trading laws multiple times and lied to investigators, lied to public, did drugs, AWOLed during war, used public resources for personal pleasure, sold out office of Presidency to Saudis, ignored dire 9/11 warnings, lied about it to american people and congress, thwarted several investigations, broke several treaties, committed high crimes such as lying to congress and spying on political enemies

                  Neil; conspired to defraud the bank and eventually the public to enrich friends while taking bribes, lied to investigators, took bribes of $ and ******s from chinese in exchange for influence with brother the prez, took millions in Fla. in NCLB money for educational software that did not qualify for NCLB federal funds

                  The list goes on...

                      "The money BCCI stole before it was shut down in 1991 -- somewhere between 9.5 billion and 15 billion dollars -- made its 20-year heist the biggest bank fraud in history. Most of it was never recovered. International banks' complicity in the offshore secrecy system effectively covered up the money trail."

                      "When the BCCI scandal began to break in the late 1980s, the Sr. Bush administration did what it could to sit on it. The Justice Department went after the culprits -- was virtually forced to -- only after New York District Attorney Robert Morgenthau did. But evidence about BCCI's broader links exist in numerous U.S. and international investigations. Now could be a good time to take another look at the BCCI-Osama-Saddam-Saudi-Bush connection."

                      ...and the gullible continue to try to justify away all the crimes, while the criminals laugh and laugh and laugh.

                        "As a senator, John Kerry was a tenacious investigator and exposed BCCI, an international criminal bank, and its murderous clients. The experience should serve him well in dealing with the international threats we face today.

                        One gets an eerie sense of deja vu watching John Kerry battle the Bush clan. He's done it once before, against the old man, President Bush's father, though many voters have probably forgotten. That battle involved the first Bush administration's attempt to put the lid on an investigation that connected a worldwide criminal bank to narco-traffickers, terrorists, and to Middle East money men who helped the Bush family make piles of cash. Those links connect to people now on the U.S. post-9/11 terrorist list."

                              What was never shown on U.S. television but seen on Mexican television days after 9/11, were old videoclips of George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden inspecting oil wells together. The two men knew each other personally.

                                "Over the years the BCCI became involved in just about every type of illicit transaction that a bank could be involved in including drug money laundering, weapons dealing, bribery, fraud, etc. It was used extensively by the CIA throughout its history, it played a part in the Iran-Contra scandal, it was a bank used by the Medellin Colombian cocaine cartel, and a branch was even set up in Panama for the cash that Manuel Noriega was funneling out of his country. After BCCI was shut down the UK's The Guardian newspaper reported that the terrorist Abu Nidal had maintained BCCI accounts. Jonathan Beaty and S.C.

                                  BCCI, THE CIA AND FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE

                                  "The relationships involving BCCI, the CIA, and members of the United States and foreign intelligence communities have been among the most perplexing aspects of understanding the rise and fall of BCCI. The CIA's and BCCI's mutual environments of secrecy have been one obvious obstacle. For many months, the CIA resisted providing information to the Subcommittee about its involvement with and knowledge of BCCI. Moreover, key players who might explain these relationships are unavailable. Some, including former CIA director William Casey, and BCCI customers and Iranian arms dealers Ben Banerjee and Cyrus Hashemi, are dead. "

                                    Bank of Credit and Commerce International

                                    "Unlike any ordinary bank, BCCI was from its earliest days made up of multiplying layers of entities, related to one another through an impenetrable series of holding companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, banks-within-banks, insider dealings and nominee relationships. By fracturing corporate structure, record keeping, regulatory review, and audits, the complex BCCI family of entities created by Abedi was able to evade ordinary legal restrictions on the movement of capital and goods as a matter of daily practice and routine. In creating BCCI as a vehicle fundamentally free of government control, Abedi developed in BCCI an ideal mechanism for facilitating illicit activity by others, including such activity by officials of many of the governments whose laws BCCI was breaking."

What she is saying is the same as Charlie Sheen (don't like him much either) and thousands of scientists around the world is: Just ask the questions and demand truth in the answers.

                                        You need to forget the personal likes and hear the words. There now millions of people asking the same questions and as long as we keep getting spin and obfuscation, the suspicions will continue to focus on the White House and President Cheney.

                                          I wish you good writers out there come up with a novel that papa Bush gives money somewhere in a dark train station in Europe to Saddam or his agents so his son Bush becomes a hero of the world by going after easy target and forgetting the real target Ossama. Which the second chapter shows how Bush family and Ossama family make deal that they will never capture and kill their offsrings.

                                            It's painfully obvious to everyone at this point that Bush is a liar, a thief, a murderer, and definitely NOT patriotic at all.

                                                this shouldn't surprise anyone who has done any research on the Carlyle Group. all these guys are tied together, especially the bushes and bin ladens.

                                                on 911 who do you think george bush sr. was hanging out with while the whole thing went down?

                                                Shafig bin Laden, Osama's brother, thats who. they were at a Carlyle Group meeting at the Ritz-Carlton in Washington DC on 911.

                                                the bin Ladens and Bushes have been in business together for decades.
