Given the 200 year long Al Saud/Bush family connection, and the key role we now know Saudi intelligence played in providing material support for the attacks on 9/11, it wouldn’t be crazy to assume it wouldn’t have happened at all under Gore. Even assuming the Bushes weren’t complicit with their long time friends, it was known and reported at the time that while Clinton was very focused on Bin Laden, W thought it was a distraction before 9/11.
Meh. I haven’t heard anything other than loose connections and conincidences, on a backdrop of incompetence and ignorance. Bin Laden had a large family who was extremely well connected. So did Bush. Their families were in the same business and Saudi Arabia was a close ally of the United States during the heydey of both families businesses.
