Some Saudi connections: Present administration officials: George W. Bush: former Director, Carlyle Group subsidiary Dick Cheney: former Secretary of Defense; chairman, Halliburton Condoleeza Rice: former Director, Chevron. Former administration officials: George H.W. Bush: Now = senior advisor, Carlyle Group; Then = former President, CIA director Frank C. Carluzzi: Now = chairman, Carlyle Group, ex-chairman, B.D.M., Then = former Secretary of Defense, National Security Advisor James A. Baker III: Now = senior counselor, Carlyle Group, Then = Secretary of State Richard Darman: Now = Managing Director and senior adviser, Carlyle Group, Then = Budget Chief Arthur Levitt: Now = senior adviser, Carlyle Group; Then = Chairman, Security and Exchange Commission Philip A. Odeen: Now = President B.D.M., Then = senior official, Pentagon and National Security Council Robert M. Gates: Now = Director, TRW, Then = CIA Director Michael H. Armacost: Now = Director, TRW, Then = Ambassador to Japan, Undersecretary of State Nicholas Brady: Now = Director, Amerada Hess, Then = Treasury Secretary Edith E. Holiday: Now = Director, Amerada Hess, Then = Assistant to the President John Deutch: Now = Adviser, Frontera Resources, Then = CIA Director, Undersecretary of State Lloyd Bentsen: Now = Adviser, Amerada Hess, Then = U.S. Senator, Treasury Secretary Carlyle Group = investment bank with deep ties to Saudi royal family and to U.S. defense contractors (including B.M.D. and TRW) hired to arm and train Saudi military. (In 1998 the Carlyle Group sold its controlling interest in B.M.D. to TRW). Contributions to Republicans in last elections (Source = Center for Responsive Politics, Washington, DC): Unocal = $43k Carlyle Group = $109k Marathon Oil = $162k Amerada Hess = $165k SAIC = $313k (another defense contractor) Texaco = $353k TRW = $379k Halliburton = $384k Chevron = $770k Family of Saudi's U.S. Ambassador, Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdul Aziz, gave $1mil to Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas. Dick Cheney received $34mil when he cashed out of Halliburton to run for VP last year. In November 2001, Halliburton awarded $140mil contract to develop oil field for Saudi Aramco. Condoleeza Rice has a Chevron oil tanker named after her. The Saudi Royal family refuses to address its role in fueling Islamic terrorism (14 of the 19 pilots were Saudi's). Amerada Hess and Unocal are currently assisting the Saudi elite (Delta Oil and Nimir Petroleum) in developing oil fields in Azerbaijan. Frontera Resources, until recently, had a similar arrangement with the Saudi's in Azarbaijan (note that John Deutch and Lloyd Bentsen are democrats, so this "gravy train" is not entirely partisan, so maybe you can see why some people voted for Ralph Nader?). Texaco and Nimir are developing oil fields in Kazakhstan, and for the past 13 years Saudi Aramco has controlled over half of Texaco's refining and marketing operations in the U.S. Unocal and Delta, along with oil companies from Indonesia, Korea, Japan, and Pakistan, tried for years in the middle 1990s to reach an agreement with the Taliban to construct oil and gas pipelines from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan and Pakistan to the Arabian Sea. A tentative agreement was reached in January 1998 (Taliban leaders met with Unocal officials in Texas, December 1997; the Taliban would collect $100mil/year), but then the U.S. embassies in Africa were bombed during the summer of 1998, so the deal was off. One of the Taliban courted in Texas, a former Assistant Undersecretary of Defense with Bush Senior, was Zalmay M. Khalilzad, who lobbied the Clinton administration to recognize the Taliban as the official government of Afghanistan. Two billionaire Saudi families, the bin Mahfouz and Al-Amoudi clans, control three large Saudi oil companies (Delta Oil, Nimir Petroleum, and Corral Petroleum) that are partners with Texaco, Unocal, Amerada Hess, and Frontera Resources (see former adminstration officials above). None of the assets of the Islamic charities fronted by the two Saudi clans have been frozen, despite ties to bin Laden and al-Qaeda. Moreover, the U.S.-Saudi consortia of oil firms continue to develop oil and gas fields in Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan, which will still require those pipelines through Afghanistan. Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer, & Feld, a huge law firm with offices in Washington, D.C., Texas, and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has many partners who are very close friends with Bush Junior, represents wealthy Saudi businessmen and an Islamic charity, Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, based in Texas, whose assets were frozen last week for ties to Hamas, a militant Palestinian terrorist group. Akin, Gump also represents many Saudi elite recently linked to bin Laden, including Idris, owner of the Sudanese pharmaceutical plant destroyed by U.S. cruise missles in 1998 in retaliation for the bombing of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzanian, presumed to have been ordered by bin Laden. The U.S. Treasury Department tried to freeze Idris' $24mil assets, but Akin, Gump sued the U.S. for $50mil, so the assets were not frozen. During the 1990s, the Saudi government bought over $30bil in arms from the U.S., including F-15 fighters, M-1A2 tanks, and Apache attack helicopters, along with the necessary training (all publicly disclosed). However, not publicly disclosed, are the $billions that Saudi Arabia paid the U.S. to train the Saudi military and internal security forces, which requires 35,000 to 40,000 (??) Americans to reside in Saudi Arabia per year. These defense contractors include TRW and B.M.D. (see former administrative officials above), Science Applications International Corp. (San Diego), and Booz, Allen & Hamilton (McLean, Virginia). From bin Laden's rhetoric, it is this last item that he finds most offensive. ------- End of forwarded message ------- ---------------- News alternatives to US war propaganda: http://www.aeronautics.ru/news/news002/news081.htm http://www.aeronautics.ru/news/news002/news082.htm http://www.truthout.org/ http://www.aljazeerah.info/ http://www.overthrow.com/ http://globalfire.tv/nj/03en/politics/content.htm <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
