Is it not the case, according to a young American lady on BBC Radio 5 up all night, that this has nothing to do with oil, but Bush's membership of the Skull and Bones order at Yale, which fosters a warmongering approach and allegedly had connections with German ideals associated with Nazism.

Is it not, furthermore, the case that Bush failed to meet the requisite grades out of 800 for acceptance at Yale, but was admitted on the strength of his father's influence and the fact that more than half the selection board were Skull and Bones members.

I only quote, these do not necessarily reflect my views as, allegedly, I may find the finance for my Boxer breeding and better central heating programmes curtailed.
