The Bush Crime Family's close business dealings with the
royal houses of Kuwait (the Sabah family) and Dubai (the Maktoum family) either
borders on or is treason according to information received from U.S. military
and Persian Gulf sources by WMR.
The Sabah family and their business cohorts are reportedly
skimming hundreds of millions of dollars from the shipping of military materiel
through Kuwait to U.S. forces in Iraq. Moreover, much of this money is being
used to fund the Sunni insurgency in Iraq that is directed against U.S. troops.
In 1993, former President George H. W. Bush was awarded an honorary doctorate
by Kuwait University and Kuwait's highest honor, the Order of Mubarak the
Great. Bush was accompanied on a Kuwait Airways flight by his sons Neil and
Marvin and former Secretary of State James Baker III, former chief of staff
John Sununu, and Joint Chiefs Operations Director General Thomas Kelly. After
the trip Neil landed lucrative contracts with the Kuwaiti Ministry of
Electricity and Water. Marvin secured defense contracts for his clients. Baker
nailed down deals for Enron. To ratchet things up with Saddam, Kuwait staged a
round up of some Iraqi whiskey smugglers said to be planning the assassination
of the elder Bush during his visit to Kuwait. President Clinton launched a
cruise missile attack on Iraq in retaliation for the phony assassination
attempt.
Marvin served on the board of Securacom (renamed Stratesec),
which had contracts to provide security for Dulles Airport and the World Trade
Center on September 11, 2001. Securacom’s backers included a number of Kuwaitis
through a company called KuwAm Corp (Kuwaiti-American Corp.). KuwAm also
financially backed Aviation General, formerly Commander Aircraft, which
brokered the sale of airplanes to the National Civil Aviation Training
Organization (NCATO), located in Giza, Egypt, the hometown of lead hijacker
Mohammed Atta and the only civilian pilot training school in Egypt. NCATO has a
training agreement with Embry-Riddle University in Daytona Beach, Florida, the
flight school that was investigated by the FBI for possibly training at least
one of the 911 hijackers.
Neil also developed close connections to the Maktoum family
of Dubai, the same family that has interests in the state-owned firm, Dubai
Ports World, that is poised to take over the operations of six U.S. ports (New
York, New Jersey, Philadelphia-Camden, Miami, New Orleans, and Baltimore) after
its purchase of the British P&O Company.
Shaikh Hamdan bin Rashid al Maktoum, the Finance Minister of
Dubai and someone who certainly had his pulse on the millions of dollars sent
through the emirate to the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and Pakistani madrassas and
assorted Islamic “charities.”
UAE banking insiders have revealed that accounts used to
fund the Taliban and Al Qaeda involved members of the Dubai royal family.
Banking insiders in Dubai report that in March 2002, U.S. Secretary of Treasury
Paul O’Neill visited Dubai and asked for documents on a $109,500 money transfer
from Dubai to a joint account held by hijackers Mohammed Atta and Marwan al
Shehhi at Sun Trust Bank in Florida. O’Neill also asked UAE authorities to
close down accounts used by Al Qaeda and affiliated partners like Victor Bout.
The UAE complained about O’Neill’s demands to the Bush administration.
O’Neill’s pressure on the UAE and Saudis contributed to Bush firing him as
Treasury Secretary in December 2002.
