Sorry Gary but the Bush Saudi connection is not lies at all, NewsMax an organ of the GOP is just spinning.

The Connection twixt Bush and the Saudis has been well documented in many books, The House of Bush, The House of Saud, by Craig Unger for Starters, also
Robert Baer's, Sleeping with the Devil, and yes it is documented that in the three days after 9-11, when all air traffic was grounded, The Saudis and Bin Laden family was allowed to fly out of the US.

And it is also documented that the Carlyle Group has Saudi family partners, along with Haliburton, Cheney, Bush41, Jim Baker of Baker Botts, who has been a prime supporter of Bush.

And on top of that Prince Bandar is personal friends of the Bush Family, so close that he is called Bandar Bush.

For fun Google Images Bandar, and you will see some nice pictures, including Bandar relaxing on an arm of a couch at Crawford, dressed in designer Jeans looking down at Dubya.

Giaour,

How do you account for the Bush adminstration's support for Sharon's hardline policies in Israel?

How do you account for Bush's appointment of Daniel Pipes to the Peace Institute?

How do you account for the Bush administration's support for General Boykin despite Muslim and democratic demands for his head?

How do you account for the Bush administration's distancing itself from CAIR? Thereby ending a tradition that was started in the Clinton administration?

How do you account for the fact that every major Arab or Muslim organization in America (and the world) want Bush out of office?

Face the facts; The Bush adminstration has done more to displease the Saudi government and Saudi-funded organizations than any other administration since Nixon?

You are so pathetically blinded by your Bush hatred ideology that you ignore these glaring discrepencies.

Mr. Unger understood know every well that his trashy book would be like manna from Heaven to leftists who long to turn the tables on those who have exposed their treacherous tendency to root for America's enemies.

Unger understands very well the phenomenon of the latent homosexual who constantly expresses contempt for gays, and writes books for leftist who want to project their latent hatred of America towards the other side.

Tajik flight: IAF sets up first foreign base
MAHENDRA VED

TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ FRIDAY, OCTOBER 01, 2004 12:24:40 PM ]


NEW DELHI: India's first-ever military outpost on foreign soil, located at Farkhor, about 10 km outside Tajikistan's capital Dushanbe, is ready to become operational by this year-end, without any fanfare.

Reliable sources in the government say the Indian Air Force (IAF) is pressing for an early decision on a suitable aircraft to be stationed at this military base.

Operational requirements stipulate at least two squadrons to be stationed there. Logically, experts say, IAF could opt for MiG-29s that are already in its inventory and can be flown in and out of the region.

Although Indian officials are not willing to discuss the importance of the Farkhor military base, foreign analysts have noted that the acquisition of the military base in Tajikistan would certainly give the Indian armed forces a longer strategic reach.

Defence sources describe it as a "modern" military base where 95 per cent of the infrastructure is in place. The runway, the blast pans and the control tower are ready.

Army is also involved in the exercise, having operated a military hospital there, basically to nurse the Northern Alliance soldiers who fought the Taliban regime in neighbouring Afghanistan between 1997 and 2001.

It was to this hospital that Ahmed Shah Masood, the last of the anti-Taliban resistance leader, was brought dead after al-Qaeda's emissaries, posing as TV journalists, killed him in an explosion three years ago.

The base is the outcome of considerable behind-the-scene work by the MEA, clinched after the US, which marked a big military presence in Central Asia in the wake of 9/11, preferred not to establish a base.

Work by then defence minister George Fernandes led to a bilateral agreement being signed in 2002 during then PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee's visit to Tajikistan.
