Bumpity bump!
The media has been reporting business connections between the bin Laden family and Bush senior for a couple of years now. It took us this long to dig up a connection between the same people and Jimmy Carter?

I wonder, will CBS and the other Bush hating media report this at all?
Anyone have an image of jimmuh in one of those picnic checkered head scarves?
Can't say I honestly care. I didn't think the Bush-bin Laden connection was newsworthy.
You don't get lips like that suckin' on doorknobs....
That's what I thought! But I just relish this news finally coming at least now!! Better late than never!!!

No it isn't. You're right. Just pointing up how different the MSM reporting will be, if there is any reporting at all. For all the hoopla the MSM put out about the supposed Bush/Bin Laden connection, I truly expect that when we tune in to CBS and the others, we will be hearing nada on the Carter-Bin Laden connection.
ex-President Carter had ties to Iraqi Agent, Samir Vincent, who admitted to participating in the massive Oil for Food scam, as an Iraqi Intelligence Service agent who reported directly to Saddam Hussein.
Carter is a small, small man. Whenever I see him I think about how he had people call him for permission to use the White House tennis court--even if he was on Air Force One.
You know what I haven't figured out?
How trying to censure somebody who was president 25 YEARS AGO is "Moving Forward."
We have enough problems in the modern world. Why focus on ancient history? Like I said before in another thread, the man is irrelevant.
The things we wouldn't be aware of if not for Free Republic and posters like yourself pulling this together. How many years I lived in ignorance only guessing at the shadows until I found FR. Thanks!
There is a tradition where ex-presidents receive regular classified briefings forever. I would expect that Clinton and Carter should forfeit theirs due to their many financial and business conflicts of interest with sworn enemies of USA. However, Dubya is probably reluctant to end any traditions for two reasons: (1) Clinton and Carter would squawk like babies, and (2) Dubya would not wish to get cut out in the future of any inside info. Mutual admiration society. Makes one ill.
And here I was thinking Carter hates Israel and loves Hamas for free.
The truth of the matter is that the Bin Laden family disowned Osama during the 1990's. Since they inflicted the damage and stuck it on Bush about the relationship, expect the MSM to loudly reveal the disowning to shield Jimmah.
I'm still pissed that he got a Sub named after him!
Read the story. The alleged transfer of funds occurred within the last 5 or 6 years.
"In fact, an online report accuses former President Carter of meeting with 10 of Osama Bin Ladens brothers early in 2000, Carter and his wife, Rosalyn followed up their meeting with a breakfast with Bakr Bin Laden in September 2000 and secured the first $200,000 towards the more than $1 million that has been received by the Carter Center."
Are you trolling for a zot?
This is not about 25 years ago. Read it again and maybe you can "figure it out".
As long as an x-president can travel the world censuring the US on foreign soil and encouraging/working with our enemies/causing more trouble in "the modern world" - he is relevant.
