The Prince of Wales Charity associated with Prince Charles accepted £1,000,000 from Bakr bin Laden, patriarch of the wealthy Saudi family, and his brother Shafiq, who are both half-brothers of the former al Qaeda leader. This happened two years after US Special Forces assassinated someone identified as Osama bin Laden in a run-down compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

There must not have been much love among bin Laden family members when the Brits got cash and OBL got nothing in all his supposed years in hiding. This story only makes sense if Osama really died in 2001.; 7/31/22, 2:58 AM

gadfly said...: The strange story of Osama bin Laden's family giving £1,000,000 to Prince Charles' charity, years after OBL was supposedly slaughtered in Abbottabad by order of and perhaps in order for Barack Obama to claim responsibility for the al Qaeda leader's death makes me think that certain Pakistani officials profited from this US deal.

Who can forget the three airplane loads of cash totaling $1.7 billion that were unloaded on the Tehran airport tarmac beginning on January 17, 2016? Worse, we unfroze $150 billion of Iranian assets held in the US at the same time - all for a non-nuclear treaty and the release of five hostages.; 7/31/22, 5:05 AM

Humperdink said...: Rob Reiner, aka Meathead, tweeted: "Screw politics, screw poll numbers. Joe Biden has a record of accomplishments in the first two years of his presidency that has gone unmatched for almost 60 years."

Say want you want about Norman Lear, but he had Reiner pegged as Meathead. It is telling that Meathead failed to name one accomplishment.; 7/31/22, 5:31 AM

Howard said...: Grandkids are a special gift. They seem to grow up even faster than your children. If you manage to have them young enough and keep in fine physical condition to be able to keep up with them, they will bring you love and joy to your life that are without limits as long as you keep tending it.; 7/31/22, 7:16 AM

I would agree.
