The Bush-Saudi Connection
Mark is attending the Radio and Records Convention Talk Radio Seminar in Santa Monica, California. So there will be no live show today or tomorrow.
(archived broadcast 
)
Instead, we replay an INSIDE SCOOP classic, Mark’s interview with Craig Unger, Author of House of Bush, House of Saud, originally broadcast April 12, 2004. No calls today…just sit back and hear about the Bush-Saudi connections to the tune of $1.4 billion, connections that the mainstream media STILL hasn’t reported.
Have you heard about Prince Ahmed?
Ahmed is a Saudi Prince who was warned in advance by Bin Laden about the upcoming September 11th terrorist attacks.
On September 11th, Prince Ahmed was betting on horses in Lexington, Kentucky but, fearing capture by the US and interrogation, he asked the Bush Administration to intervene and overrule the US officials who grounded him.
And the Federal Government intevened, allowing Prince Ahmed and dozens of members of the Bin Laden family to fly out of the United States on the days just following September 11, the first flights occurring within the United States when all other American private jets were grounded.
What? You haven’t heard about Prince Ahmed? Then you obviously haven’t got THE INSIDE SCOOP.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Yeah PRINCE AHMED–who can we connect to Prince Ahmed? (Like that cold trail hasn’t been killed off, like the Prince himself)

I have been asking, how can they live with themselves – have they no consciences? How could they do such a thing?
I will share the thoughts of some with whom I speak. Franklin Roosevelt is regarded as one of America’s greatest presidents and the only one elected to more then 2 terms. They say now that
he believed strongly that Hitler needed to be stopped but sentiment in the U.S. was against getting into the war. They believe it is now common knowledge that he, Roosevelt, had warnings
that Pearl Harbor was about to happen and chose not to intervene as the event would rally the people to enter the war and indeed it did. So, something like this may have been the thinking in todays White House. That is what some people think.
I don’t know how much of this is fact. Even if this was their thinking, they were not trying to stop a Hitler from conquering the world. They were trying to grab the oil assets of a country that played no part in any assault on the USA and
had no means to do so. That was all just lies.
I offer this only in the context of how this might have been marketed to any in the White House who might might have had some semblance of a conscience. Great presidents do these kind of things. I don’t know. We do recall that GWB was
offvisiting an elimentry school and it was Chaney who was calling the shots that terrible day.

Thank you Mark. The silence is deafining. Hopefully research is in progress.
I truly do understand that no one wants to go where the facts lead us on this one. Are we saying that our White House team had been planning for years for a New Pearl Harbor type event? Are you saying that they ploted with their Saudi frends to make 9-11 their Pearl Harbor? Would they plot to bring down large buildings full of people? What kind of people are you saying we have heading our government? How can this be?
Well that is what we are faced with. Clearly it is their belief that if they can gain majority control, by whatever means, over all of government then you can do just about anything. I don’t want to believe it to be this bad and I’m sure you don’t as well. The Saudie probably did most of the deed, though I doubt if they were able to arange detonations at the WTC, nor could they have taken our Air Force out of action on their own. They also could not, on their own, have arainged for the prompt evacuation of the Saudies remaining, those not actualy on the hijacked planes.
The more we uncover of this the more I understand a strong urge to stick our heads under the sand. It is a horror story.

To Nathan and Ben,
Did the Bush Administration give the Bin Laden family special treatment? You betcha!
To address the charge that Saudi nationals were flown out of the country before the post-9/11 flight ban was lifted, the 9/11 Commission Report states: “we found no evidence that any flights of Saudi nationals, domestic or international, took place before the reopening of national airspace on the morning of September 13, 2001.”
In fact national airspace was only open to commercial airliners on a case-by-case basis at 11 am on September 13, 2001. It was not until September 15th that the skies were opened to general aviation (privately-owned aircraft). Yet the Lear Jet that flew Saudi nationals from Tampa, Florida to Lexington, Kentucky on the afternoon of September 13th was a private plane.
Here’s the original reported article. Note the Bush Administration tried to cover up the fact that the flight took place.

So this clarifies it. Some commercial flights opened at 11 am the 13th — at precisely the time
cited by the Tampa police as the time the Saudis requested to leave. And by 4:30 pm, they were lifted to Lexington on a private jet (and on to Saudi Arabia a week later).
So just two days after September 11th(!!!), no private jets were allowed to fly…except those carrying family members of the man who killed more Americans than any single individual in history.
And one of those that escaped — Prince Ahmed — apparently knew about the September 11th terrorist attacks…
