| ALGORE's Event Paid for By Bin Laden's Family |
| 2006-02-13 |
| The Saudi Arabia seminar that was addressed by former Vice President Al Gore over the weekend in a speech that criticized the U.S. for being too tough on Arabs was sponsored, in part, by Osama bin Laden's family. On Saturday, the state-run Saudi news outlet Arab News reported that the Jeddah Economic Forum, where Gore spoke, was funded by "Saudi Arabian Airlines, the Saudi Binladin Group, Gulf One Investment Bank, Saudi Basic Industries Corp." and an array of other big companies with ties to the Middle East. The Saudi BinLadin Group - which is Saudi Arabia's largest construction company - is run by Osama bin Laden's brothers and cousins. Jeddah, the site of the forum attended by Gore, is Osama bin Laden's hometown. Although family members claim they've disowned bin Laden, his mother told reporters after the 9/11 attacks that she received advanced warning from him that something big was about to happen. |

| #13 via NewsMax... The BinLadin Group's longtime involvement in the Jeddah forum has been widely reported in the Mideast and European press. In January 2002, ex-President Clinton addressed the JEF, which paid him $267,000 for his speech. According to London's Financial Times: "The conference was dominated by the Saudis' desire to overcome the pressures of September 11 and strengthen U.S.-Saudi ties . . . The BinLadin Group, one of the forum's backers, has been battered by its association with Osama." |

| #9 Democrats believe they can say anything they want as long as it is overseas and they get paid for it. Gore is just a little clumsier than most. It is frightening to think that he was groomed from the day he was born to be president. |

| #8 JDB: Based on your candid and very open admission of longstanding dislike for Al Gore we have re-evaluated your self diagnosis of "stupid ass" and found it to be both flawed and inaccurate. You are now and have been since birth, a gifted thinker, intellectual, and a visionary! |

| #7 Even when I was a stupid ass college student liberal 20 years ago, I instinctively didn't like or trust al Gore. I wish I could pick lottery numbers as well. He is a disgrace to himself, his party, and nation. |

| #6 of course, there's many ways to spell that name and this is just one of them...nothing to see here. There's no controlling authority on name spelling... |

| #3 Hey, don't make fun of Kyoto and global warming. Certainly this weekends weather on the East coast was conclusive on these subjects. I mean really people, how many more inches of snow do you need to prove that global warming is real? |

| #2 Al has always had great instincts. For instance, as the leader of the Senate he pursued Kyoto. |
