Harken isn't the issue. Soros thought he could "buy" himself a

with strong ties to the Gulf. He thought wrong...and now has a vendetta
against Bush.

Except that Bush, at the time, was a businessman, not a politician.
Besides, what else did Bush bring to the table?

A last name that had a lot of clout in the political arena.



Certainly not his
business acumen. Arbusto/Spectrum 7 were headed into the dumpster if it
weren't for Harken money. Personally, I just don't see a vendetta, just a
difference in political philosophy.

Yeah, right. Soros has described himself as the "moral conscience of the
world" (or some similar bull**** mumbo-jumbo). Is "buying political
influence" a trait you would expect from the "moral conscience of the
world"? Or perhaps legalizing drugs is a more "moral issue"? The guy is a
rich, spoiled, blow-hard who is used to getting his way...and got ****ed
when Bush decided to (to paraphrase Steve Miller band) "take the money and
run".
