How has the Bush family explained their ties to Middle Eastern business men connected to oil and defense systems as illustrated in “Fahrenheit 9/11.” Granted I don’t believe much of what I hear or see from Michael Moore, but surely some of it has to be true, or at least cause the Bush family to come up with an explanation to their ties to these men.
AFAIK, they haven’t.
And Moore has citations and article references for the claims he makes in Fahrenheit 9/11. The part dealing with the Bushes, the Carlyle Group, and the Saudis begins here.
I hardly know why explanations are needed.
They were in the oil business. The Saudis are in the oil business. It is like being shocked that people in the international pharmaceuticals business all know each other regardless of which company they work for.
I have plenty of other reasons to dislike Bush; family business ties are a non-starter for me.
