When I saw he hired Geithner, I hoped it was a "keep your friends close, your enemies closer" move to finally reign in Wall St. Turns out, Obama's just as much in bed with the Goldmans of this world as the Bush Dynasty.

The information is out there. Just because you have not spent the time researching the subject does not mean it could not possibly be true.

I recommend this book as a starting point: http://www.amazon.com/Family-Secrets-Dynasty-Powerful-Influence/dp/B002T45028

In it, you will find the discussion of how Allen Dulles got agents placed on the boards of companies that produce academic textbooks.

Also, here is a list of articles compiled about the influence of the CIA on academic institutions: http://dgibbs.faculty.arizona.edu/debate_cia_and_academe

> According to some site that no one's ever heard of, thats also is heavily biased.

Russ Baker (Family of Secrets) works there, and that's good enough for me.

> The point is they covered this story with the political motive of defending one of their "own"

You clearly want to believe that, but again, that doesn't make it true.

> Even IF she lied, it's irrelevant.

Yes, it's clear that you have little desire to hear the whole truth.

> There was literally no point to cover this "story" but to try to make Weiner look better.

Demand what you will, but as I read it, the point was to get to the whole truth, which is to say, the girl and her family have lied, and it looks like Weiner was catfished. Still, he only has only himself to blame.

I don't know why you are being downvoted Mr. Kedavarai. The oil trade plays at least a part in any Mideast policy. There are plenty of books detailing the Bush family's involvement in that nasty business. There are very close business alliances with the House of Saud as well as the Emirs of Qatar, the UEA and Bahrain. Those four houses of noble parasites are funding most or all of the Sunni jihadi movements in the world. So, in order to answer the question I posed above, you have to at least investigate whether influence by the GCC on powerful Washington interests is a determinant factor behind American actions

As I wrote (much too hurriedly LOL) above, the outcomes of all of America's theatres in the Endless War has been the ascendency of militant Sunni fundamentalists. When you get the same result every time, one has to at least examine whether that is not the goal. The connection that you cite between powerful Washington interests and the leadership of the GCC needs to be investigated
