Bandar Bush: Yet More Corruption and Sleaze...

[segovius]

The infamous Bandar Bush - the one famed for his had-holding antics with GW - is in trouble again. It seems he has been receiving roughly 120M GBP per year for over a decade from UK arms dealer BAE.

The bribe - that is exactly what it is though why he would need the money being a multi-billionaire son of Saudi ruling despots is not entirely clear - was issued with full knowledge of the UK Ministry of Defence.

BAE were investigated for fraud in a preliminary fashion several months ago but Blair stepped in to stop proceedings as they would 'compromise security and the WOT'.

So basically this is the morality of the 'freedom' and 'democracy' we are imposing by force on the rest of the world: sell fascist regimes huge amounts of arms to torture and repress their citizens.

And bribe corrupt members of those toatiltarian regimes with obscene amounts of money to make it happen.

If anyone wants to research the issue then stop any form of enquiry.

Then turn a blind eye to the abuses of the regime you are selling to and continue to forge alliances with other despots killing those who oppose them and labelling them 'terrorists' if necessary.

Hmm...perhaps we should discuss the $10m Bill Clinton gets from the Saudis and then look at the fact that his wife is running for...President?

I've got no problem with that as I don't see things in a partisan way...

Hilary would be worse for America than Bush - God help you all if she gets in....at least Bush has some principles even if I disagree with them.

Who gives a toss about the Clintons or Bush in relation to this anyway though? This is about the Saudis being able to buy and sell whoever they want and being above the law....

Why do so many Americans fall for the idea that these two families (Bush, Clinton) are somehow different.

It is like there is an unlimited supply of "partisan beer" pouring into the beer mugs these foolish Americans keep drinking from.

Enough to stay drunken and buzzed as to keep them in the dark as it pertains to the real "chess game" dealings in the international scheme of world chess.

George W. Clinton.

Hillary Rodham Bush.

George W. Clinton.


America needs a black president. He does have some Parliamentary experience, too.

Good call.

One who actually bothers to sit down and talk when going somewhere like G8 - as opposed to rejecting out of hand all the Climate initiatives proposed by the civilized nations - might be good too.....

You can't be serious, I thought it was god help you Bush doesn't f#*K you up more than he has.

Principals? Please elaborate.

Wouldn't you like to see Bill back in the White House?

Well he has loyalty to Israel and to Saudi - those are principles and they are non-negotiable.

He also has a form of faux-morality that (imo) is not for sale.

Obviously I disagree with these stances of his - virulently - and believe them to be dangerous but I am merely saying he does have them.

From what I have seen of Hilary she is 'for sale'.

What you have to remember is that, as much as I despise Bush, he comes from a background where it was expected he would be in a position of power. He was bred for it more or less.

Such a person is often less greedy for power than someone from an 'ordinary' walk of life.

Besides, Bush is an incompetent buffoon - he can't really make a success of any of his Empire-Building...Clnton could be a different threat to the world altogether. Her toadying for Israel quite possibly exceeds Bush's for example.....

Of course it's for sale, why else would you start this thread?

To who? She's a politician for cripes sake.

That worked didn't it.

What? Seriously, WHAT?

Agree on the buffoon, but all the candidates support Isreal, Paul I'm not sure of.

Getting involved in the peace process is a good thing, Bush's ignoring it in my view has made the situation what is is now.

Did he pocket that or was it money raised for a separate entity?

Agreed on that one.

Maybe because the proposals are unworkable. Hmmm.
