The connection is that the Bin Laden family, and others, financed some of GW's shady business dealings in the 80s.
The whole Bush brother contingent's business history is slimey.
But nobody cares...

"James R. Bath, friend and neighbor of George W. Bush, was used as a cash funnel from Osama bin Laden's rich father, Sheikh bin Laden, to set George W. Bush up in business, according to reputable sources from the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. The connection between GW Bush, the bin Laden family, and the Bank Commerce Credit International (BCCI) is well documented. "
"Bath--who made his fortune by investing money for Mahfouz and another BCCI-connected Saudi, Sheikh bin-Laden--...was an original investor in George Bush Jr.'s oil exploration company..."
Osama 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 CIA funds in the 1980's.
"The Senate Commitee on BCCI, the Kerrey Committee, noted that Ed Rogers, the White House political director, was hired directly away by the BCCI sheikh and paid, along with a hitherto unknown assistant named Haley Barbour (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 GW Bush, was intended to influence President Bush."
"After GW Bush'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. GW swapped out shares until he had an interest in a new company, Harken Energy, which quickly received a lucrative oil concession in Bahrain.. "
"What was BCCI? Only "one of the largest criminal enterprises in history," according to the U.S. Senate. What did BCCI do? "It engaged in pandemic bribery of officials in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas," says journalist Christopher Bryon, who first exposed the operation. "It laundered money on a global scale, intimidated witnesses and law officers, engaged in extortion and blackmail. It supplied the financing for illegal arms trafficking and global terrorism. It financed and facilitated income tax evasion, smuggling and prostitution." "

BunkerBoy:
He was asked about that [Iraq involvement in 9/11] by CNBC's Gloria Borger.
Borger: "Was Iraq involved?" Cheney: "We don't know. What the commission says is that they cannot find any evidence of that." Borger: "But you say you disagree with the commission." Cheney: "On this question of whether or not there is a general relationship." Borger: "Yes." Cheney: "Yes." Borger: "And they say that there was not one forged and you are saying yes, that there was. Do you think the commission does not know?" Cheney: "Probably."

What about the relationship between the USA/CIA and bin Laden? Good God, WE were the ones who bankrolled him against the Soviets.
WE created the monster.
Dick Cheney is a doof.
I DESPISE liars. They'll say anything to promote their own agenda. They'll say ANYTHING to get re-elected. Most politicians stop at just telling you what you want to hear. These people make up things and then tell us it's what we want to hear.
Corrupt. Through and through.

They make it up, then when it no longer makes sense they tell us they didn't tell us what they told us.
"Those darned lazy reporter needed to search deeper into our lies when we originally told them. Since they were too lazy to do their research into our lies we really never told those lies. Which is to say, we never tell lies."
