S E C T I O N 8.0 "Q-Mr. President, considering your concern about propriety in government, what was your reaction when a senior member of your White House staff, ERogers, left the White House employ and signed a contract with a Saudi sheikh accused of being a key figure in the BCCI scandal? President-Well, he is a free citizen to do anything he wants once he leaves the White House. My concern is about the White House itself, which it is beyond any perception of impropriety. Q-Well, what do you think he was selling to the Saudis except for accessing--- The President--Ask him. I don't know anything what he's selling. I don't know anything about this man, except I've read bad stuff about him. And I don't like what I read about him. But I would suggest that the matter be best dealt with by asking this man what kind of representation he is doing for this Shekh. But it has nothing to do, in my view, with the White House." from the Official Papers of the Presidents, Press Conference, October 25, 1991 The Senate Committee on BCCI noted that ERogers, the White House political director, was hired directly away by the BCCI Sheikh and paid, along with a hitherto unknown assistant named HBarbour (later to become National Republican Committee Chairman), the sum of $600,000 to not do much of nothing. The Senate Committee concluded that it, along with the "gifts" of cash to GWB, was intended to influence President Bush. After GWB's company, ARBRUSTO, went bust, the bin Laden connection with BCCI went to work once again to prop up the president's son and to buy influence. W swapped out shares until he had an interest in a new company, HARKEN Energy, which quickly received a lucrative oil concession in Bahrain. An "extraordinary number of people connected to HARKEN or the oil deal have ties to BCCI...Sheikh Khalifa bin-Salman al-Khalifa helped to ensure that HARKEN was awarded the offshore drilling contract...Sheikh Abdullah Taha Baksh..Ghairth Pharaon...bin Mahfouz...Talat Othman who has visited the White House..." from False Profits, page 370. "Knowledgeable oil company sources believe that the Bahrain oil concession was indeed an oblique favor to the president of the United States but say that Saudi Arabia (home of bin Laden) was behind the Decision". From Outlaw Bank, page 230. "After the Harken-Bahrain deal was signed, Talat Othman was added to a group of Arabs who met with Bush and Security Adviser BScowcroft three times in 1990 -- once just two days after Iraq invaded Kuwait.

OBL CONNECTION : J. Bath, friend and neighbor of W. Bush, was used as a cash funnel from Osman bin Laden's rich father, Sheikh bin Laden, to set W. Bush up in business, according to reputable sources from the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. The connection between GWB, the bin Laden family, and the Bank Commerce Credit International (BCCI) is well documented. One can find them in books and archived news articles. bin Laden-backed BCCI money was funneled into the Bush family in return for favors. "Bath--who made his fortune by investing money for Mahfouz and another BCCI-connected Saudi, Sheikh bin-Laden--...was an original investor in Jr's oil exploration company..." from The Outlaw Bank, page 229. "Bath provided financing to W when he went into the oil business..." from False Profits, page 365. "Bath told me he was in the Agency...he had been recruited by Bush himself 1n 1976 when Bush was director of the agency...Bath and, Jr. were pals and flew together in the same Air National Guard unit, and Bath lived down the street from the Bush family when, Sr. was living in Houston...he became representative for Sheikh Khalid bin-Mafouz...one of the richest men in the world, and he was a controlling shareholder in..BCCI..." from The Outlaw Bank, page 228. "BCCI was charged with laundering drug money..." from False Profits, page 433. "During Bush's tenure as Agency director, the agency was allegedly involved in a very curious business deal with Bath, a Texas businessman who is a friend and sometime financial backer of one of Bush's sons. Bath was also a business associate of Khalid bin Mafouze and an important BCCI insider. BIN LADEN MONEY SENT TO GWB THROUGH J. Bath "...BCCI would make payments to key officials, sometimes in suitcases filled with cash. As BCCI officer Abdur Askhia stated in interviews tithe Subcommittee staff: Abedi's philosophy was to appeal to every sector. Carter's main thing was charity, so he gave Carter charity. Pakistani President Zia's brother in law needed a job- he got a job. Bangladeshi president Ashraf's mistress needed a job- she got a job. Admission of your son to a top college, he would arrange it somehow. There was a world wide list of people who were in the payoff of BCCI...". from United States Senate Subcommittee Report on Bank Credit Commerce International, 1992 Osman bin Laden, whose funds were inherited from his father, Sheikh bin Laden's BCCI investments, has been operating out of Afghanistan since he was established as a conduit for Agency funds in the 1980's. "Afghanistan was by far the biggest; it was, in fact, the biggest Agency operation of all time, both in terms of dollars spent ($5-$6 billion) and personnel involved..."from the book The CIA's Greatest Hits. The story of the Bush involvement in the BCCI scandal involved "trails that branched, crossed one another, or came to unexpected dead ends...". It was like a "three dimensional chess game." from The Outlaw Bank, page 227. The BCCI bribery connection went straight to the Bush oval office. The White House political director, a man whom the Senate noted sat in on presidential meetings, named ERogers, was hired away from the Chief of Staff's Offirken stock and had several ties to the infamous BCCI bank. Bakhsh was a co-investor in Saudi Arabia with alleged BCCI front man Ghaith Pharaon. Bakhsh's banker, Khalid bin Mahfouz, was another BCCI figure and head of the largest bank in Saudi Arabia. Sheikh Kalifah, the prime minister of Bahrain, was a BCCI shareholder and played the key role in selecting Harken for the oil contract."
