Now, you're saying that Bush should protect a family member of a former business partner his father had over $50,000 because the families did business with each other almost 30 years ago?
I brought up the "black sheep" because you were trying to imply the media made it up. I told you where it came from, and you act like I'm implying that's why there's a disassociation. I was just telling you what you didn't know.
Answer this, yes or no, no bullshit in-between. Do you believe Osama Bin Laden is the head of Al-Queda and is responsible for numerous terrorist acts around the world? Simple answer yes or no.

You have some facts correct but are missing others. It was not just Arbusto. Bush Sr. also runs the Carlyle Group which has been in bed with the Bin Ladens for decades and involved in defense contracts worth billions. Bush Sr. was head of the CIA in the 1970s and had close ties to both Osama and the rest of the Bin Ladens during that time. Bin Laden's direct brothers, to this day, live a few miles from CIA HQ in Langley Virginia and have been caught on tape interacting with CIA personell. They are on the CIA payroll. When the FBI started to investigate this in 2000, Bush Jr. issued a presidential directive to call them off the case.
In response to your other question, my no-bullshit answer is that YES, Osama is head of Al-Qaeda. HOWEVER, my contention is that Al-Qaeda was a CIA creation, was and is funded by the CIA and that Osama himself takes orders directly from that organization. This has been reported in the mainstream European and Asian press and even the FBI and CIA were forced to admit to certain "contacts" with Osama in the 1990s. It is only the US press (or most of them anyway) that try to sweep all this under the rug.
The truth is a hell of a lot more complicated than the mainstream US press would have you believe. You will never get to the truth if you only rely only on them.
