Tom, you just haven't done much background reading on the CIA's worldwide drug and gun running deals the past 50 years. Where illegal (tax-free) money can be used for private business enterprise (for MORE private enterprise), there the CIA and the Bush family be.
Your foggy glasses and radiation-laced brain has consistently overlooked these problems.
I'll bet you haven't even read ONE book on the CIA's involvement with world class criminals and regimes.

>Saudis have spent years investing in and being involved in U.S. oil and energy companies.
That some of the Saudis were and are less than sterling characters goes without saying.

Yes, but when you start cross-referencing all these characters, and you look at the banks, the money laundering, the FBI cover-ups and Bush's arrogance at denying any and all investigation into his family's assets and procurements (and most of the his administration), you see "someone
trying to watch someone juggle who has no idea how."

> Note that Guilt by Being In The Same Room seems to be the order of the day.

No, you just haven't read enough to put two and two together.........people, places and times, let alone business partnerships. It amazes me that a grown man of your stature and intelligence misses all of the background information simply because he won't LOOK, and has even more audacity to dismiss the whole thing as a conspiracy.
Here, you are doing yourself a disservice, and it doesn't look good on you.
Indeed, here again you have an OPINION, without any knowledge of the problem at hand.
