When the oil sticks
In his latest documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, Mike Moore highlights several connections among Bush, his family and associates, and Saudi Arabia. Fifteen of the 19 September 11 hijackers were Saudis, as is Osama bin Laden.
The film notes that Bush's father, George H. W. Bush, worked as a senior adviser to the Carlyle Group, a private investment company with various ties to Saudi Arabia and even, for some years, to bin Laden's family.
'My point is first of all that the Bushes were so close to the Saudis that they essentially had turned a blind eye to what was really going on before 9/11,' Moore said.
'And after 9/11 they were in denial.'
More specifically, the movie implies that the Saudi connections explain why the US facilitated the departure of dozens of Saudi nationals from the country - including relatives of bin Laden - shortly after the September 11 attacks, and charges that they were not properly questioned. "
