Don't misunderstand; it's nothing illegal. The Saudis' only real business interest is oil, and the Bush family is very prominent in the same biz. I'm not condemning this relationship, I'm merely pointing out that it exists. This is no secret, so simmer down. It is a long and very established relationship. Why do you think the Prince got the royal treatment at Crawford, considering 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis and there's an enormous amount of evidence suggesting that the Saudis bankrolled (and continue to bankroll) al Qaeda?

The Bush oil "fortune" was made in West Texas NOT Saudi Arabia. The Bush oil ties are with the DOMESTIC oil interests. If Bush were to "line his pockets" it would be by driving oil to 50 bucks a barrel to make domestic drilling and production viable. Get it?

The Prince didn't get the royal treatment Jack. The facts seem to bare out the following:

The Prince was told that we are moving our Force Command to Qatar and that we will be enlarging our military presence there. We are indeed moving our Command Post to Qatar and the House of Saud is getting the message. See the link above.

Saudi Arabia is not the oil industry. I know of no money that has flowed from Saudi to GWB and I don't think you do either.
