My position hasn't changed. But you do a good job of making it sounds as if it has.
The fact that these things have cropped up in the past doesn't make them any less preposterous. I was so confident that you were trolling that I didn't want to put in much effor in refutation. But since you've taken the next step, I will too.
The easiest to refute is the Secret Bin Laden Escape plan. This is really why I figured that this was a troll. It has been widely reported that this little gem was a mistake from the begining, largely being attributed to Micheal Moore. The Bin Ladens did leave the country. But it was one week after the attacks, and after plane were flying again.
http://www.independent.co.uk/story.jsp?story=96090As far as the Carlyle group goes... They are an international Investment firm. They take money, and turn it into more money. It is not odd that they would take money from some Saudi Oil Barons. The fact that Pres. Bush Sr. has met with these people, in a professional capacity is not anything criminal. Given that the Bin Ladin family, outside of Osama, has not been indicted on any crime, much less found guilty really makes me wonder why you hate the guys so much?
Prince Abdulla shows up in Texas. You would have us believe that he dictated terms to the President of the United States. That's one way to interpret the move that Bush made. I personally have a different interpretation. That he made a move that would distance himself from the actions of Israel. This would give us the ability to dodge some of the bad press we were getting, while at the same time not actually doing anything. It was a win for the US, and since Israel didn't actually have to comply with our demands, they win too. In fact everyone wins.
As far the "assesment" that I refered to. You gave these little tidbits much more credence than I did. Your assessment was that they had merit. My assessment is that they don't.
The fact that the liberal media didn't latch onto this, but rather the relationship between the Carlyle Group and Crusader speaks volumes to me.
