Isn't the Binladen family one of the biggest families in the world?

Never heard that before, and wasn't able to find anything on google about the family other than their ties to the Bush family.

Never mind.....it was just a dream - Flash-Back .

They warned me this would happen to me 20 years later way back in High School.

try googling this:

Binladen "largest family" -leftiepropaganda -eurotrash

first result: http://www.familybusinessmagazine.com/topglobal.html
102nd biggest family owned business:

102. Saudi Binladin Group (93)
Bin Laden/Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Industry: Conglomerate
Founded: 1931
Revenues: $5 billion
Conglomerate founded as construction firm 1931 by Yemeni immigrant Mohammed bin Laden (or Binladin). Through ties to Saudi royal family, grew to include mining and telecommnunications. Founder had 54 sons. One, Bakr bin Laden, now heads company. Another, international terrorist Osama bin Laden, has allegedly been disowned by family.

I don't think anyone wants to be known as family to Osama. Can ya blame them?

Hilarious. Now they can rename LAX.
Isn't Saudi Arabia still an oppressive regime that crushes internal democratic movements? I'm absolutely sure that one is next on the Bush agenda.

Will never happen, The business connections between the Bush family and the Saudis alone will prevent this...
